Customer Review: Love my dashboard mount
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had this mount for a few months now and it has been great.
The suction mount didn't work on our prius dashboard and we had to always mount it on the window which can present it's own set of difficulties.
The dash mount has very little movement, stays put while driving and is easy to reach especially if you are under 6 feet tall! It is easy to store for our cars. It may present some difficulty if you have a smaller box to hide your items from potential thieves. On the upside, no more tell tale portable nav rings on your window. It does fit easily under your seat for hiding if needed.
No directions needed for setup,just put it in the cradle and you are off and driving. I love it!
Customer Review: Better than the suction mount
Summary: 5 Stars
I found out the hard way that the factory-included suction mount isn't very dependable, unless you find the perfect place on the windshield to stick it to. After mounting it onto the windshield and giving it a slight tug, it seemed like it had a pretty solid grip. However, midway through the drive while I was turning, the suction mount along with the C340 just fell off. I understand that the system is pretty heavy, but I don't like expensive technology falling to the ground at random times, so I ended up paying extra for this dashboard mount. Works great. I wish there was an option for including this in the original package, but business is business and Garmin wants my $$$, so I'll have to pay extra.Customer Review: Love this dash mount!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this dash mount as hubby has to go to CA on business trips & CA law does not allow anything mounted on the windshield. It's not that heavy, but it does hold firmly on the dashboard. We really like its portability and that it doesn't take a lot of room to pack. Also comes with the lighter charger which is great! Of course, since it's not permanent, it's been known to move around the dash whenever we do sharp turns. I think this is a great gadget! If only they have the same thing for the newer models. The new bluetooth-enabled GPS have ball mounts instead of bracket designs that the C340 has, and I'm not too keen on having my GPS bob up & down on bumps and dips like another reviewer said.Customer Review: Makes a good thing better
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my Garmin GPS, but often I was unable to find a good place to mount it in my Camero, or for that matter in most of the 3 or 4 rentals I had used it in. The suction cup mout provided with the unit worked well where the ankle of the windshield was just right. I never found a spot on a dashboard where the suction device worked well, and the provided smooth mounting disk would not adhere to my textured dash.
Due to a crowded dash, or acutely angled windshield I sometimes had to mount (or prop)the unit in a spot inconvenient (and dangerous) to viewing.
The new mount has solved that problem for me. It works well and effortously, and so far it has worked in several vehicles.
Customer Review: Fabulous Friction Base
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a Garmin StreetPilot c330. Love the GPS unit; Hated the suction cup window mount. I used my original and 2 replacement suction mounts. Finally got to have the Friction Base. What a relief!!! Have had absolutely NO problem with it flying around in any of our 4 vehicles. Our GMC pickup has a very steep dash board and sometimes it will creep its way back a bit, and need to be reset minorly, but that's WAY better then having it fly off the windshield and land in my lap or bounce off the console as I'm driving down the road, which happened more than once. We really like this base a lot! It stays put very well. I would never, ever go back to the suction base. This is a great solution!
