 Not suitable for Explorist XL August 15, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This item supports only Magellan Explorist models 500 and 600, I have bought it to support XL but it is very small.
The description of the item was wrong
 Well made and does what it's supposed to August 4, 2006

I was hesitant at first to purchase a suction-mounted bracket because I never have luck with these things; they always seem to fall off at the most inconvient time. But this unit stays firmly attached to the windshield. The GPS fits perfectly into the holder and can be tilted and swiveled to the perfect viewing angle. The USB/power cable clips neatly into a cutout on the back of the holder and it can be left in place there when you remove the GPS.
My only complaint, if you can even call it a complaint, is that it does tend to sway while driving - which is to be expected with such a long neck hanging down from the mounting point. The sway is not bad during normal street driving but I definitely would not recommend it for off-road use unless you come up with a method to keep the bottom from swinging like a pendulum.
Overall this product is well worth having if you plan to take your eXplorist on the road. Oh, and I will also mention that this bracket is for the 100-600 series only, not the XL.
 Doesn't Appear to Work with eXploruist XL June 22, 2006

This is a "qualified" bad rating of this bracket because it doesn't appear to work with the XL model of the eXplorist GPS.
Just took delivery of the "Vehicle Mounting Bracket -P/N 702210" which is widely advertised to be suitable for the Magellan eXplorist GPS series. Well, I can tell you that either something was left out of the package or more likely, this bracket is NOT suitable for use with the larger eXplorist XL GPS. I hope someone can provide directions as to how this puppy will hold the XL GPS, but until they do (I've asked Magellan for clarification as to the suitability of this bracket with the eXplorist XL model), be very carefull if you plan to use this bracket with the larger eXplorist XL GPS.
NEXT DAY UPDATE: Response from Magellan to my question about suitability of P/N 702210, Magellan Vehicle mounting bracket for explorist(tm) GPS, for use with eXplorist XL was to recommend that "... I request you to get the swivel mounting bracket for this unit. ..." I read that to mean the eXplorist XL will not work with this product. Magellan Case #209051 pertains.

Does what it is supposed to do. Can't complain till it quits doing what it is supposed to do.

I purchased this item a month ago and it works well for me. It sticks well to the windshield, the handheld stays in place and is easy to adjust. I am quite happy with this purchase.
