Nav-Mat woes!

Do any of you use one of those dashboard sat-nav mats?
I'm asking because I have just bought a 'Bracketron Nav Mat' that is *supposed* to be usable with my TomTom One (V3) but I just can't see how!
The TomTom is allegedly fixed using the suction pad windscreen mount, but as my windscreen suction pad/mount is the wrong angle and inflexible, it will not work with the mat.
I have looked for an alternative mount, but can't find anything suitable (not even on the TomTom website.)
Many people seem to manage to use these mats with no problem, so how are they fixing the TomTom on?
Anyone got any ideas please?

I've got one of those, and used to have a none TomTom with a generic holder, a bit like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-windscreen-mount-holder-TomTom-One-V2-V3-V4-XL-/320797770088?pt=UK_CE_GPS_Accessories_Software_ET&hash=item4ab1098168 so you could bend the arm into shape.
They're not too bad depending on how sensible you drive. Unfortunately mine often ends up in the passenger foot well when I take a big roundabout :whistle:0 -
Thanks very much for the link - I managed to find something like that (with a firm clamp) and yay - it works!
Although the original windscreen mount that came with the TomTom did actually swivel after all, it has no clamp so won't attach to the NavMat.
Cheers for your response.0
