The price was reasonable and the delivery was quick.In future purchases of any kind, I am convinced to check and shop at Amazon first before looking elsewhere.Thank you Amazon for your services, Well, I lost my original mount for my nuvi-350. I was pleasantly surprised to find one that fits and fits well with my unit at Amazon.com.
4 out of 5 stars only because its base is rigid and flat - and there are few if any completely flat mounting surfaces large enough to mount this item - about 2.5"x1.5", in today's vehicles (dashboards, consoles, etc). I hope it sticks since the adhesive mount supplied claims it will be "virtually impossible to remove from dashboard surfaces", if the unit comes un-secured. This product arrived on time and at a fair price. The aforementioned makes me a little nervous about its long-term adhesion to its mounting location on my dashboard. As long as it stays stuck in place - I'll love it. Construction quality is excellent and it is very functional; meets all expectations. Having a factory-supplied navigation system in my other vehicle, I actually prefer this option with the Garmin unit since I can mount it in a location much more accessible, convenient and safe (to allow eyes to wander less from the road).
Good for around town but not on long trips where you need info such as traffic, speed limits etc. Works, but if you use this mount there is no way for charging and info cable supplied with nuvi. Info cable has built-in traffic and info when used.
My Earlier Windshield mount (Which broke) had that. I Started using the permanent join rather than the temporary one (As i didn't wanted the GPS unit to keep failing, Which happened so many times with the windshield mount until it broke). I First thing i noticed about this dashboard mount when it arrived is it is not flexible, The base is fixed. The Product looks strong. Over all i am giving 2 stars for the price i am paying for this and the design of this product. All you can do is move the rotating holder of the GPS to the position you want. You cannot bend or move the handle fixed to your dash-board.
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. 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'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.
