Customer Review: Garmon Dashboard Mount for C310-C340
Summary: 4 Stars
After buying a Garmin C340 GPS and having it fall from the windscreen too many times, I had to do something. I had heard of various mounts that would just sit on the dashboard and prevent the GPS from bouncing around the car. I looked at some of the generics but finally decided on the OEM version. It has worked. The dash mount does slide around a wee bit, but it is something that can be handled. The mount is obviously bigger and heavier than the windscreen mount that came with the GPS - and less portable - but it does the trick: it keeps the GPS in one basic place. I thought the cost was a bit pricey, and now I have two sets of power cords, but all-in-all, it is better than the GPS from falling from the windscreen at the most awful moment.
Customer Review: The Incredible Garmin c300 Series Dash Mount
Summary: 5 Stars
This ingenious device exceeded my greatest expectations. It is so easy to simply set on your dash, anywhere, and to remove it when parked. It is unobtrusive and holds in any quickly adjusted position during any sudden vehicle movement. It comes with an extra plug-in power cord identical to the one on the c330.
I cannot imagine anyone buying a Garmin and not taking advantage of this versatile dash mount. The windshield suction cup mount included with the GPS cannot even compare. This mount magnifies enjoyment of the Garmin by allowing the GPS to sit wherever you want, left, right or center at any angle and with no fear it will fall off your dash. It also allows mounting closer to the driver, a boon to those of us with aging eyes.
Customer Review: A great work-around for a Dodge Caravan with the long sloping windshield
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this dashboard mount for my Garmin c330 so that I could use it in our Dodge Caravan. The long sloping windshield prevents the regular Garmin windshield mount from working well, so this seemed like a good alternative. The weighted pads seem to provide more than enough stability for the c330 when set up on the Caravan's dash just to the right of the instrument pod. In all other respects, the mount works just like the windshield mount - the Garmin clips right in with a locking connector, the power from the cigarette lighter socket is routed right into the back of the Garmin, and its easy to remove from the dash when parking so as to avoid the GPS smash-and-grab that seems to be popular around here in parking lots and city streets.Customer Review: Great accessory - this should be given with the product instead of the suction cup
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the C340 recently and have been very satisfied with it. However, the suction cup mount gave me trouble on my recent trip to california. I had attached the suction mount to the rental car. After two weeks of roaming in the California sun, I was stunned when I found out that the suction cup had fused to windshield. I couldnt get it off and so had to shop for a new mount. This dash mount is really good especially since it is not glued or vacuum attached to anything. The product description on amazon "the mount is hardware-free: simply attach the included adhesive disks--one for each leg--and then connect the StreetPilot to the top." gives the impression that it uses adhesive which is incorrect. I am very satisfied with this productCustomer Review: Its a good design
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this mount with a c340 Street Pilot. It is well built and well designed. The footprint on this mount is bigger than the sand bag design. The mount does move a little bit, but it is nothing to worry about. I have taken my c340 attached to this mount down a rough, bumpy, washboard, gravel road and the mount only slid a couple of inches after 25 minutes of driving. The c340 was never in danger.
I really prefer this mount to the suction cup that came with the c340. It doesn't leave marks on my windshield and I feel like my navigator is safe from falls. I feel that the suction cup or the ring left behind makes you a mark as a traveler and opens you up to any problems that come with that distinction such as theft.
