I love this thing, 2007-11-19
I bought this for a trip to California when I learned that they do not permit you to affix anything to your windshield. Now that I'm back in Ohio, the windshield mount has remained in the box. It took only a moment to attach part of the mount that came with my Nuvi to this friction mount. The mount is smaller than it looks, and it took up surprisingly little room in my carry-on when I carried it onto the plane.
Most importantly, the thing really does stay put. I drive in a fairly "spirited" manner, and before buying it I had visions of it flying off the dash. But it has yet to move an inch. So far I've used it in a Mazda RX-8, a Chrysler 300, a Nissan Maxima, and a Dodge Durango. In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that my Nuvi 350 is fairly small and light.
When I arrive somewhere I simply lift it off the dash to toss it in the trunk or on the floor behind the driver's seat. If you take the GPS unit off of it, it actually fits in the compartment under my center arm rest (except in the RX-8). It also makes it really easy to bring the GPS in the house or to move it from car to car.
All in all, a great little device. Perhaps a bit pricey for something so simple, but well worth it at the end of the day.
A Must Have, 2007-11-19
This accessory is indispensible if you prefer a portable vs a permanent GPS set-up in your vehicle. Our 250W clips easily to the holder and can easily be rotated for optimum viewing by either the passenger or driver. The friction mount base stays in place on the cowling in both our Saab 9-5 and Honda Ridgeline with no slippage whatsoever. It can't be beat either for optimizing security for your GPS device because the entire unit can simply be moved out of sight or removed entirely when you exit the vehicle. Unless your dashboard/cowling is steeply sloped, I'm very certain you'll be glad you got this.
MOBILITY, FLEXIBILITY, PORTABILITY, ADAPTABILITY = UTILITY, 2007-11-19
We have heard about some frustrations about fitting/using attachments to the Garmin GPS machines. We ourselves finally found we were missing some critical mental parts that Garmin do not slip into the package, so we share them on Amazon - which itself is a 'magical' technology Jeff Bezos: Business Executive And Founder Of Amazon.com (Ferguson Career Biographies)
In Clarke-ian terms Childhood's End 'magic' is anything that works for you - but you don't really understand how it works.
1 At One Big Idea Consulting Limited NZ we have come to believe that when we are investing in 'magic', which the Garmin GPS product range now is, we invest much more than just cash. We are investing in extending our sensory-motor system... and it is really worth disconnecting our hurry-scurry-worry reactions and instead peacefully climb the inevitable Learning-curve with a sense of wonder.
2. The docking devices are a small part of the puzzle... but small things make a big difference... so we tell our clients - treat yourself as priceless vehicle cargo ...and buy two or three different kinds and give your motor-sensory system a chance to grasp the complete experience of GPS before you get too frustrated with a small part of the 'miracle' when it becomes a temporary puzzle. Embrace is as the opportunity to learn more GPS overall, as we learned how to do.
Each docking device has its own charm and its own 'maybe'.
3. In time, like us and our clients, you will say a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving every time your faithfull driving 'guide' (we use a plug into the vehicle sound) drives you in elegant English as smooth a satin around and about ... and smoothly gets you back on track when a turning 'oopsie' derails you, or/and when the docking device responds at a fingertip and adjusts the external glare from the screen map or otherwise treats you like a queen/king.
4. As owners of nuvi systems, we consider ourselves, some of the luckiest persons in human history to be able to move around the way we can with the GPS at our finger/lip tips.

 Good Alternative Mount for the Garmin Nuvi 350, 2007-11-19
Sometimes you prefer a non-adhesive friction mount over a windshield mount when using your Garmin Nuvi 350. Although it is bulkier than the windshield mount, it does a decent job of keeping your GPS in easy sight & reach. No problems with the mount staying on the dash under normal driving conditions. I don't know if I could quantify it as a good value due to the price that Garmin charges for it.
Perfect mount for my Garmin, 2007-11-18
Nice to not have a permanent or suction cup mount. All the comments I read about thievery are right on - what they can see they will take. I don't ever leave the mount or the garmin in plain sight.
The mount performs flawlessly, even around corners - no sliding or anything.
