This was the best price I found for this item. I use it regularly and enjoy this product.
mount for GPS.......2007-11-05
This was a gift for my husband - but I'm happy that the GPS stays in place now! It's easy to mount and convenient.
Garmin Auto Mounting Bracket.......2007-10-09
This bracket works as expected to mount the Garmin GPS 60 series to a vehicle windshield. It holds the GPS securely for easy use.
Garmin GPS windshield mount.......2007-09-13
Garmin is a good product; this mount is a little tough to get the GPS in and out of the mount
Works as described, but.......2007-09-13
Depending on your windshield you will probably have to mount this pretty high so the GPS can get blocked by your sun visor.

Works well and reasonably priced.......2007-09-23
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.
GPS Holder doesn't work.......2007-05-31
I bought this item because I wanted to use it in a rental car for a trip on the east coast. It required a flat surface in the car. The one I rented didn't have one. I ended up holding the GPS in my hand the whole time.
I should have bought the windshield suction cup version however I noticed that it was illegal in a couple of states.
I think Garmin produced this product to satisfy the legal department.
Great product.......2007-01-09
This product works as advertised. Holds my Garmin 60Cx in place and arm is fully adjustable to angle GPS towards me while I drive. Mount holds the GPS almost too tightly. It'd be nice if the GPS could be put into and removed from the mount with one hand.
note on the garmin dash mount.......2006-07-21
so far (few days) this seems to work fine..a little "bouncy" with the arm fully extended, but that's just the nature of it. (everyone may not extend the arm the way I did, but it lets you if you want).
It does adjust to just about any angle you need, and in that way is very flexible in its design (3 adjustments, one for how far the arm extends, a second for tilt of the unit front to back and a third for rotation of the unit, e.g. if the base is not mounted on a spot on your dash level to the ground). The permanent adhesive seems to be working well (the temporary adhesive didn't last in the 100+ degree heat direct sun from our heat wave, but worked ok until it got that hot).
one important clarification to a below review - this unit, Garmin 010-10456-00, comes with the base you need to mount it on your dash. (it's really three parts - the clip for your gps, the rotating / adjusting arm and the swivel base that attaches to your dash). so, contrary to the below earlier dated review, you don't need anything additional for this mount.
however, if you'd like to mount this unit in a second vehicle, you can purchase either a second swivel base (e.g. just the base that sticks to your dask) separately, or the weighted base, kind of a bean bag with the swivel base attached. Both of those are the base only and require you to already have the arm and clip for the GPS which come in this package, but let you buy only a new base without having to buy the clip and arm over again.
Works very well.......2006-03-16
The mounting bracket works very well as long as you use the permanent mounting adhesive. The temporary adhesive would not stick to my dash very well. The mount is a little springy when driving if left sticking up in the air, not much but a little because of the weight of the GPS. I solved this by adjusting the mount so that the bottom of the GPS rests on the dash. Once I did this the mount is firm and stable and does the job quite well.
Product Description
Got a funky, contoured dash that won't allow you to mount your eTrex level Solution: suction cup mount. Stick mount to the inside of the windshield or window and snap eTrex into place. Bracket is jointed, so you can adjust to your heart's content and get the unit out of direct sunlight. NOTICE TO STATE OF CALIFORNIA DRIVERS: California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) provides that drivers in California should not use the suction mount on their windshield or side or rear windows. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options are recommended.
Customer Reviews:
Useful eTrex accessory .......2006-04-07
Garmin's eTrex GPS range are excellent products for hand-held use, but they are not easy to use without being held. They don't really lend themselves to being put on a surface in a viewable orientation.
The windshield mounting bracket solves all this. Like every other Garmin product, it is very well made and does the job. It provides a secure and rigid mount for the eTrex, and sticks firmly to a glass or plastic window. Easy to position and release.
My only reservation - it is a higher price than I would like.

Excellent when permanently mounted.......2003-01-05
I have one of these in each of two family cars to mount my eMap. The kit comes with a mount, a removable articulating bracket, and two types of adhesive disks--one for temporary mounting and another for permanent. The permanent adhesives are immovable. In cold or warm weather they stay put. I bought one of these brackets for use on a rental car and used the temporary adhesive. As another reviewer commented, the mount did not stay put (I used it in a warm climate). After the experience, I bought a Garmin bean bag mount for temporary use.
As far as the plastic mount goes, it is excellent when used in the permanent mode. Just make sure you mount it in its most advantageous spot. You won't be able to reposition it. I like the articulating bracket. It locks in any position. In both my cars I have the bracket mounted in the middle of the dash. This way a driving companion can face the eMap toward them, at their eyelevel and help navigate--change functions, enter find mode, etc.
Keep in mind the mount and the bracket can be purchased independently. This way, all you need is a mount in each car (assuming you have more than one) and you can swap the bracket as you do the eMap.
Well-Built but doesn't stay put.......2001-06-06
The unit is very well built but it it falls off the windshield every 30 minutes or so. No matter what I did to try to get it to stay, it eventually would work its way off.

Nice bracket, but temporary adhesive useless in summer.......2005-07-24
The bracket itself is reasonably well-designed, offering enough degrees of freedom in how it can be adjusted. So, it's somewhat useful. However, the adjusting knobs on mine seem to need frequent re-tightening, as the assembly rattles when they loosen. Also, the temporary adhesive pads appear to be pretty useless in summer: the adhesive melts in the sun and the bracket falls off, leaving a gooey mess.
Worked well until it fell off..........2003-07-27
This item from Garmin includes temporary and permanent mounting stickers for your dashboard. The temporary one worked great until it didn't, rather unexpectedly, and the permanent one didn't work at all (though it may have been user error...). These Garmin accessories tend to be pretty nice quality, but man, you pay through the nose for 'em.
