 Does The Job But Could Be Better May 2, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Addendum: I recently found out that attaching items to your windshield, such as this bracket, is now illegal in the state of California.
So what are we supposed to do? Set the GPS receiver on the passenger seat and take our eyes completely off the road every few seconds? Might as well eat, shave, and read the paper while driving, too!
I'm now looking for a dashboard bracket that works for my Meridian Color that does not need to be permanently affixed or would damage my dash in any way.
Turned up nothing so far.
--------------------------------------------------------
This mounting bracket does the job in holding your Magellan Meridian but it could be improved by having a footing of some sort so that sharp edges on the bottom don't dig into your dash.
The three suction cups that adhere to your windshield could also be placed differently so that vibrations from the road are dampened instead of making your GPS appear as if it's in some 7.9 earthquake.
Overall, however, these are small issues since the bracket is sturdy and holds the GPS unit securely. The bracket arm is bendable but strong and the holder swivels horizontally so that you can adjust it to almost any viewing angle.
To minimize the vibration the unit needs to be placed low on the windshield so that the bracket rests on the dash. Use some protective padding underneath so that your dash doesn't get damaged from the vibrating bracket.
An excellent feature of the bracket is the ability for the power cable connector to snap onto the back of the car bracket so once everything's in place all you have to do is pop in your GPS unit and drive off.

What can I say, this gizmo works...it's awkward, but it works. I personally think you shouldn't be looking at a tiny gps screen while you're driving. I sure learned that. Get the Pioneer built in auto gps with a large color screen and voice directions...much safer.

This model does not fit the Sportrak series.
Order the 701259 Bracket instead.
 Will not work With SporTrak Color August 1, 2003

Don't know how this could work with on SporTrak and not another, but it will definately NOT work with the SporTrak Color. The back of the unit is smaller than the Meridan series, and is too small to lock into place, and even if it were large enough, the locking mechanism won't match.
