Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Automotive Mount for nüvi
Customer Review: Garmin Automotive Mount
Summary: 4 Stars
This mount was a definite upgrade from the suction mount that comes with the GPS. It is much more low-profile and you don't have the cord hanging in your way. My only complaint is that I originally used the "temporary" adhesive disk (it comes with a temporary and a permanent) just in case I wanted to remove it in the future. Even though it held well at first, after a few weeks it actually started peeling off the dash - and we're still not into the hot summer months. The good news is that the adhesive came off pretty easily without leaving stains/residue on the dash. I've since switched to the permanent adhesive disk and have had no problems at all.Customer Review: Garmin Mount for Nuvi
Summary: 4 Stars
Designed for permanent or semi-permanent mounting - This mount is much less bulky than the window mount that comes with the Nuvi. Two adhesive pads come with the mount. One for semi-permanent and the other has a caution that it is very permanent. I started with the semi-perm but the mount fell off after a few hot days in Georgia. The permanent has been doing fine for weeks now and I have no problem recommending this mount. I have the Nuvi mounted low on my center console not on the top of my dash. It picks up a signal well and is out of obvious viewCustomer Review: A must for using Nuvi in many cars
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this so that I can use my Nuvi in my cars and rental cars. Although the matching bean bag holder is pretty heavy, it was very convenient to use in a rental car in Europe and never slid or fell. Note that it must be used with the "bean bag holder" (to be bought separately and quite hard to find). The set up could be improved. The charger must be plugged at the back and the plug is hard to access on the mount. Also, I fear the mount is fragile if trying to remove it when its lock or lock it when its not properly inserted.Customer Review: Garmin Dash Mount
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used Garmin mounts before, with older automotive GPS units. In general, they work well and their adhesive mounting is about as good as is possible. With an older, heavier, Streetpilot 3, in a sports car where rocking vibration is fairly high, the mount fails after a year or so of service. I have not had a mount failure in any other car, even with the heavy Streetpilot 3.
I am reasonably confident that, even in the sports car, the mount will not fail with the much lighter Nuvi.
Customer Review: Dash mount is better than windshield suction cup mount
Summary: 4 Stars
The Garmin Nuvi comes with a windshield suction cup mount and not a dash mount. The suction cups (if left mounted in the sun) begin to stick to the window and are then ruined when you peel them off. They leave a black ring on the windshield and lose all suction ability. I have bought and ruined a few suction mounts and will be using dash mounts from now on. You must have a flat section of your dash for effective mounting.
