 It Doesn't Work June 15, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Amazon suggested this as an accessory for the Garmin Nuvi 670, so I ordered it. It is impossible to place the Garmin unit onto the mount. This is an expensive mistake for me, as I paid shipping and duty (I live overseas, in Bermuda), and returning it is not inexpensive either. Reading other reviews, it looks like Amazon made the same mistake a lot of times. Don't buy this accessory unless you are absolutely sure it will work with your GPS model.
 You have only one chance to get it right June 11, 2007
This product is very unforgiving. In our case, the disc wouldn't stick at all because we had applied Armor All to our dash a few weeks ago. The Armor All sure did a great job at rejecting the adhesive. Unfortunately the adhesive on the Garmin disc was rendered unuseable since it had been exposed.
Nice if you can get the base firmly mounted to your dash June 11, 2007

I bought this thing thinking I can mount it to the top of my dash. My dash has a slight curve to it, but, it looked like there was a few flat spots where the base could mount. I already new the suction cup wouldn't work on my dash.
Didn't work using the temporary adhessive. The temporary adhessive didn't stick to the dash at all. Before installation, I did wash/dry the dash good, to avoid oils, dust and other containmenants from effecting the adhessive. Playing with the second adhesive disk, it appears I need to mount this thing on a perfectly smooth and flat surface. The permanent adhessive should have better luck because it's stronger and probably can stick with less surface contact between it and the dash, but, by then I found I didn't like mounting the unit on the dash afte all.
Beyond the base, the biggest disappointment with this thing is that the arm that attaches to the base and ends in a ball upon which you mount the Nuvi mounting plate is fixed and doesn't adjust like the suction cup arm that comes with the Nuvi. If it did, I could possibly mount the base in the little shelf below the radio, with the end of the arm sticking out far enough to mount the Nuvi (which actually could work with the suction cup and that hard disk that comes with the Nuvi). Only way to use the arm is mounted on top of a horizonntal surface, like your dash.
Using the arm with the bean bag (this little piece of plastic is REALLY expensive) sort of worked until I had to suddenly swerve one day. Came crashing down --- happened after about a week of driving.
This period was long enough though to convince me that I rather not mount the Nuvi on the dash. Mounting on the dash is great for visibility of the Nuvi screen and for hearing the bluetooth hands free setup. But, the glow of the Nuvi on my windsheild was too distracting.
In the end, I bought a custom dash mount for my car that costs me $60 (Proclip). Works great, and I wasted my money on the Garmin Auto Mount and bean bag.
Last negative: the quick release plate that connects to the suction cup that comes with the Nuvi has a microphone jack on it. The quick release plate that comes with the automotive mount doesn't. That sucks if you were thinking of using the auto mount in a second car.
 Great product!!! June 8, 2007
We love this product, you must have get the Garmin Garmin Portable Friction Mount for Garmin GPS Units (010-10306-00)also. We purchased the Garmin Nuvi 350 Pocket Vehicle GPS Navigator and Personal Travel Assistant and the mount works wonderful. We love the GPS also, it is just wonderful. I really don't have anything bad to said about it. My brother-in-law purchase the same GPS and he love his also.

I bought the automotive mount but it was not necessary. All the gear that you need to mount comes with the product.
