Customer Review: Extends the useful life of my Garmin
Summary: 5 Stars
I was about to retire my Garmin StreetPilot C340 when the suction cup mount lost its grip, so I ordered this dashboard mount to extend the life of the GPS unit. It works fine. The mount consists of a floppy tripod of metal weights encased in rubber, which manages to stay in place on any part of the dashboard that comes close to being flat. I've only had the mount topple over once when I had to brake hard. I had to get accustomed to using lighter pressure on the touchscreen, but I'm now used to it. An added benefit: I can simply hide the entire GPS unit elsewhere in the car when I'm parked in a public space, reducing the chance of catching the eye of a burglar.Customer Review: Wobbly but Stays in Place
Summary: 4 Stars
I like my Garmin C330 but the windshield suction cup would let go at the most inopportune moments (around a corner, in heavy traffic, no wonder some states have banned them). So I needed something more stable and the dash mount was the way to go. It doesn't slide or fall off and is more secure and confidence inspiring than the windshield mount ever was. My only problem is that the windshield mount (when it held)was rock steady and this thing allows the Garmin to wobble unless I have it wedged up against the glass (I guess that's the trade-off). Otherwise, I would have given it a better review but it stays put no matter what so that is the important feature.Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this after the suction mounting that came with the garmin c340 no longer worked. This is a vast improvement. All you do is latch the GPS into the mount and then place it on the dashboard. The unit uses the weight of the GPS along with some friction on the bottom of the device to keep the GPS in place. It's so simple yet very effective. I was a bit skeptical at first. But it works like a charm. I'm a fairly aggressive driver. I shift lanes, take turns at high speeds, and sometimes brake hard and this unit never moves from the dashboard. The only knock on Garmin is that they do not include this mounting device with the GPS at the initial purchase.Customer Review: excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
When i first opened the box after getting it, i was very skeptical. It looked like it would fly away after a normal turn. Lo and behold i have been using it for a month and it is a great investment. I can easily take it from car to car. You cannot do that with the mount that comes with Garmin products. It basically stands on the top of your dash like a table lamp. If you want to move it, just pickup and go. The intial setup takes just 30 seconds at best. Snap it in place and it's ready. If garmin wants some highly satisfied customers, they would make this the standard accesory that comes with their GPS units. I would recommend it very much to everybody.Customer Review: Garmin Dash Mount
Summary: 4 Stars
In California, no windshield inside mounts are allowed. The Garmin Dash mount solution addresses this problem very well. It sticks to the dash and does not slide about. It is a little on the heavy side but the weight helps hold it in place. In a hard frontal auto accident it would be tossed into the windshield so there is some collison risk to your StreetPilot(but to you too). It has many pluses- high build quality, holds the GPS firmly, can be easily moved between cars, and has a charging jack built in. The minuses are few- heavy, might not fit a sculptured dash found in some cars, and its a little awkward to carry. Overall I am impressed with it.
