User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Works great
Works great on my mountain bike. Holds the Oregon securely, doesn’t weigh a lot. Tried to use it on a motorcycle as well, but it wouldn’t fit because of clearance issues (the Oregon is of course very close to the handlebar with this unit).

5 Stars Works well
Not much to say. A very straight-forward product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Simple to install and use, and the price is right.

2 Stars Disappointing, they have better mounts than this…
They got smart when they integrated the mounting system into the Colorado’s case, but then went cheap on the handlebar mount. Nobody should be trusting a $500 piece of equipment to a couple of zip ties.

I’m disappointed, my colorado rolls around my bars when off-road, creating an awkward (and sometimes dangerous) condition leaving the mount useless.

Garmin already has a well-designed mount for their E-trex series of GPS: Garmin Bicycle Mount for eTrex and Summit (010-10267-00)

It has a screw-type clamp and an integrated locking battery cover that positively locks the GPS into the mount and the clamp ensures that it’s not coming off the bar, regardless of the terrain.

I’m holding out for a better design!

5 Stars does the trick
works as it should. Uses zip ties to connect the mount to your bike.

4 Stars Good bike mount
This is a good bike mount that is easy to install and holds the Colorado securely. The only downside is that the zip ties can only get so tight, so if you are going to do alot of rough riding it may tend to move on you alittle.

4 Stars Nice to Have
Nice to have, but not a necessity for motorists. Great, however, if you do a lot of route planning in advance, etc. Battery run time on my Nuvi 750 is up to 5 hours, so you really don’t need this product unless you use your Nuvi alot for walking, bike riding, etc.

1 Star Doesn’t work with all Garmin Nuvis
I bought this because it said it works with “Garmin Nuvi” on Amazon’s description but it actually isn’t compatible with the one I have – a Nuvi 760. It lists many others on the package but not that one.

5 Stars Mission accomplished
It does what it is designed to do. No fancy bells or whistles. The connections fit and it recharges the unit. I cannot ask for more.

5 Stars Works as advertised
I often use the Garmin GPS without plugging into the cigarette lighter outlet to minimize the mess (the Garmin cord has too much friction and can get entangled easily). With this product, you can recharge the GPS anywhere you can find an AC outlet. The power cable works as advertised – plug it in and it works.

5 Stars Compact, light, adaptable
What’s not to like? Other dongle-manufacturers could take a lesson from the compact design. It’s great that it comes with adapters for plugs in other countries, too.
