60 CSX Mount February 8, 2008
Actually connected it to a beanbag base till location decided. This swivels all directions so you can get it out of the glare. Good Product.
 Satisfactory Mount, Could Be Better January 6, 2008

This mount works good if you plan on leaving the GPS unit in the cradle for extended periods. It is not very user-friendly if you plan on moving the GPS in and out of the cradle alot. The GPS protective case must be removed before installing, and plugging in the power cable must be done after the GPS in installed in the cradle. I placed the adhesive base close to the edge of my dash, and hung the GPS over the edge of the dash to prevent it from causing visibility problems. As others have noted, the mount is bouncy and pushing the buttons on the 60CSX can be a pain. I fixed this issue by placing a small rubber bumper on the back of the cradle, which now rests against the front of the dash. This made the mount very rigid and pushing the buttons easy. Overall the mount is satisfactory, but it is disappointing that the protective case must be removed prior to installing, (Necessary also to plug in power cable - which is also disappointing). If I were to do it all over again, I would also read up on the Ram mounts, and possibly select one of those.
Works well and reasonably priced September 23, 2007

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.

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 January 9, 2007

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.
