Satnav should not be ruined because some people are stupid.
Couldn't agree more. Unfortunately many things are ruined due to laws brought in because a minority of people are stupid.

This looks really good and I'm very tempted. My only concern is how much the phone wobbles when the car is moving - one of my pet hates about several other mounts I've tried.
