Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GARMIN 010-10456-00 Dashboard Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series)Customer Review: Works well and reasonably priced Summary: 4 Stars
This dashboard mount is probably the best choice for putting a 60C series Garmin in a boat or automobile, especially in California, where the windshield suction cup mount is illegal.
What I like about the product:
1. At $18~$24 current street price, it's an attractive accessory for Garmin 60C owners.
2. It works pretty good on paved roads. I suspect that it is probably not strong or rigid enough for use on rough gravel roads or when crossing open terrain.
3. Allows attachment of Garmin 12 volt auto power cord and external antenna cable.
4. You can access all 60CX control buttons (but not the battery cmpartment door)
Possible problems with this product:
1. My 60CX is a very tight fit in this mount, which might be good to ensure that it doesn't come loose and fall, but makes me wonder if the plastic can stand up to more than a few dozen cycles of attachment and removal of the GPS before it breaks from fatigue.
2. The mount is all made of a black plastic that looks like it would absorb a lot of heat and damaging UV rays on a car dashboard. Recommend owners of this mount keep it covered with a light colored cloth when the car is parked outdoors.
3. The base of this mount, with it's adhesive pad, requires a clean, FLAT, approximately horizontal surface. It WILL NOT work on even mildly curved dashboards. Make sure your car's dashboard has a FLAT area at least 2" x 3" inches, in a location that will be suitable for mounting the GPS, before you buy this mounting.
If you can't find a flat enough surface, you could still attach this mount with screws instead of the adhesive pad, after building up a flat surface on the dash with Bondo or a similar product. This assumes you have an older car that is already dinged up enough that you won't mind making a couple more small screw holes in the dash.
NOTE: You MUST NOT use this mounting in any place on the dash or steering column where it could be in the path of deployment of any of your car's airbags.
