User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Poor design makes this carrying case a bad buy
While this carrying case appears to be well constructed, its side panels are too tall for a 760. Had someone actually pushed a Nuvi into the original design, they would have either reduced the height of the side panels or cut slots in them to allow for the on/off slide switch. You have to be very careful when inserting the GPS into the case that the side panel doesn’t catch the on/off switch and turn the GPS on. If I had it to do over, I’d buy a zippered camera case from Wal-Mart.

1 Star Doesn’t fit Nuvi 500/550
Contrary to what it indicates in the listing, this case does NOT fit a nuvi 500/550. The 500/550 are too thick to fit into this case.

5 Stars great
Fit is perfect. you need this to travel so the GPS is safe ,Great product

5 Stars Handy little carrying case
I bought this for my husband, along with a Garmin Nuvi and a friction dashboard mount. He loves everything, and finds this little leather case so handy to slip the Garmin in and pop in his briefcase. I bought this as a package along with the Garmin and the mount…good purchase. I highly recommend this case.

1 Star carrying case
The carrying case is not worth the money. If the gps was bought for a car you’ll probably never use it.

5 Stars Very Stable Garmin Mount
Bought the mount to use with my old c320 StreetPilot on a Pontiac Sunfire and a BMW X5 and it works great in both cars…very stable even on starts/stops and hard turns.

Seems like it would accommodate a lot of different dashboard designs.

Highly recommended.

5 Stars Love this Item
I would recommend this item to everyone. You can take your Garmin from one car to another and no worries if this will fall off the dashboard. Holds it’s place where you put it.

5 Stars So easy to hide. Great item.
My wife uses the Garmin c330 in the car and this little (and I mean little) dashboard helper makes it easy for her to position the c330 on the dashboard and when she gets to where she is going, it is a mere seconds to take it off the dashboard and hide it on the floor or even to stick it in the glove compartment. It really is that little.

This is a very handy item that really helps out a lot. Glad I came across it.

You can’t go wrong.

5 Stars Garmin Dashboard Mount
What a convenient, portable, usable item. No sticky pads on my dash or screw holes that I don’t want. Now I don’t have to put up with my GPS having to be permamently mounted where I really can’t see it. When we bought a new car we found that the Garmin mount from the old car wouldn’t stick again, we thought we would have to drill a hole or something to make the old mount work in the new car. My brother came to my rescue by showing us his dashboard Garmin mount and letting us try it for a weekend. We were totally sold and ordered one of our own right away. Wonderful for the ease of use in other vehicles, too. Now it is just grab and go!!

5 Stars Garmin Dashboard Mount Rocks!!!
We just got our Garmin Dashboard Mount. It’s great for CA residents who can’t mount the Streetpilot on the windshield. We just took a road trip to Sedona and our Streetpilot stayed in place on top of the dash without a problem. This mount keeps the GPS unit safe and secure and well within a comfortable reach. We liked it so much better than the mount it came with originally. Highly recommend!!!

2 Stars magellan mount
I COULD NOT GIVE A FAIR REVIEW BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE RIGHT ITEM THAT I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I RETURNED THE ITEM THAT WAS SENT, I ALSO SENT THE PIECE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE,WHICH WAS BROKEN. SO IF YOU CAN SEND THE RIGHT ONE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

4 Stars Magellan 980823 Windshield Mount
Much better and stronger product than the original.

Fit is a little tight between the mount and the universal cradle. Has to be almost forced on.

1 Star If you buy from Beach Audio, you will not receive what you ordered
Product not as advertised. Ordered Magellan windshield mount #980823 but received 980799, which is an older, cheaper version that was simply relabeled and sold. Makes me wonder why Beach Audio doesn’t have a picture of the product, even though all other Amazon sellers do.

Though guy at Beach Audio said he would send me UPS shipping labels to return the items, no other attempts were made to satisfy the customer, nor have I received the shipping labels. The burden to correct this should not be left with the customer. Do not buy this item from Beach Audio.

5 Stars Great item RM 700
I have a Road-mate 700. Updated to a 760 by down loading took four hours, cost $99.00 now has all the perks the 760 has. The unit still has the smaller hard drive all around. The unit has served me well with very minor miss step on unknown dead end streets. It is now supposedly loaded with maps of Hawaii, United states,Canada,Mexico, Puerto Rico.

In California it is not permitted to stick any thing to the windshield glass. I have a mount for the air conditioner louvers, this will cool down the unit and in four hours the unit will shut down,it takes about three hours for it to warm up,[ don't throw it out the window yet] then your on off switch will work. If the air conditioner is not used then you are home free.

I would never go to any unknown areas with out it. This I believe to be one of the best units available I love it, and I give it Five stars,it’s now out of production,, how sad.

3 Stars CMeSpeed
It works but it’s the third one I’ve had to buy. When it falls off the window it has a tendency to break. Not many options if you need to fit it to the Garmin. Price was great at 1/2 what others wanted.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Back up
i had lost my holdster. and i found one at the best price. not much to say about how good or bad, its the same as any.

5 Stars replacement nuvi mount
this is the perfect replacement for my nuvi 350. The original mount became broken after several uses by family members and numerous falls from the windshield for one reason or another. the price was great about half what garmin wants and its the exact same. Price was right, shipping was fast, and the whole process with Amazon is great as always.

4 Stars Garmin Suctin cup mount
Works OK (for a while) but you are better off with their dashboard “beanbag” mount that does not deteriorate and is easy to take off and/or move to another vehicle. I found that the suction cups to not work well for very long if you remove them often.

4 Stars Suction Cup Mount Works Great
Garmin suction cup mount is excellent, it came with my Garmin Nuvi, haven’t had any problems mounting it. It does leave a ring on the window, which gives away to others you may have a GPS. I haven’t had problems using it in extreme cold or hot weather.

5 Stars Amazon gives great customer service
The item I ordered would not work with my model Garmin because I did not read the description well enough. Even though it was my fault, Amazon took it back for a full refund and also refunded my shipping with no problems. I think that Amazon is a great company for doing that.

TomTom Alternative Mount for All TomTom GPS Except Go 740




Does your TomTom ONE need some flexibility? No problem. The alternative mount kit gives you the flexibility to mount your device where you want. Attach your device to the windshield at any angle, or use the mount kit with the adhesive plate to mount the device on your dashboard.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Not too bad
Definately an upgrade from the standard, short mount.

Great suction power (make sure to activate the lever on the base).

A bit of vibration but that also depends on the car’s ride.

Finally, I can see the screen in good detail!

5 Stars Great Mount, Great Price!!!
This is a great product, the mount the Tom Tom came with I did not like, as I drive a large SUV and can not mount anything to my front window and it was difficult to see. With this mount I can adjust it for the lighting, with the navi mat it is perfect for my dash and it is great. Highly recommended.

3 Stars Good mounting kit
The original mounting kit for the TomTom 720 is too short. This one, on the otherhand, is a little too long. This is seen in a vibration that sets up once the car is underway. Too bad there isn’t one that is about half the length of this one. That said, I still like it much, much better than what TomTom supplied. This one has a much superior window clamp than the one supplied by TomTom. Once clamped, it is there. Not so with the TomTom kit.

1 Star Too much vibration
I lost my Windshield Mount and bought this one.

I thought flexibility will be nice but it vibrates too much!

It’s annoying.

I agree that suction is much better than the one that came but I just can’t use a gps that makes me have to focus on it more time that I should because it is vibrating.

5 Stars alt mount for tom tom 920
this mount is great. put your tom tom in comforable reach. a nice addition to make mounting the tom tom beter.
