 Mission Adequate June 29, 2005
24 out of 24 found this review helpful
I found the plastic arm to be a bit flexible. And when using the GPS unit (punching buttons) I find that I need to hold the back of the GPS unit to push the "click stick". I was thinking of using the "removable" adhesive to switch back and forth between two cars, but the adhesive is pretty much one use only. I'm a bit annoyed that if I want the weighted auto base (the friction mount) I have to buy this to get the arm, and then buy the base separetely.
It is pretty adjustable and I have found good positions in the two cars I tried, a hatchback and a small SUV (but using the weighted base). Although I am finding that I have to compromise between being able to see the unit and reception (more a fault of the GPS unit IMHO, since a Gecko 201 in the same mount, same postion, has no problems.)
 More complicated to use than I thought... October 7, 2005

One thing that wasn't clear to me before I bought this was how the GPS receiver actually attaches to this bracket (though you can see it on the picture if you know what your looking for). To attach it you have to remove the nice rubberized battery cover that came with your receiver with a new hard plastic battery cover that mates to this bracket. My problem is that I also use a garmin belt clip attachment (010-10380-00) and they aren't compatible. So, I have to change the battery cover back and forth depending if I want car mount, or the belt clip. Not very handy for geocaching, where you are in and out of your car and want to clip the GPS onto your belt. It's a shame...with a little better engineering from garmin, they could have designed something universal.
Not for Legend Cx March 22, 2006

This unit will not fit the Legend Cx. The Legend Cx has the removable memory. The mounting bracket requires you to replace the battery cover in order to snap into the bracket. There is a notch on the back of the battery cover but this not does not exist on the automotive mounting bracket.
Works fine with my Legend July 2, 2004

Echoing a previous reviewer: it IS compatible with Garmin's eTrex Legend!!! My only complaint is that the GPS unit seems to sit higher on the dash than necessary when using this mounting device, potentially affecting driver visibility.
 Adhesive Problems January 1, 2006
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
The device is well built but has one major flaw. The adhesive comes in 2 types, "removable" and "permanent" types. Neither adhesive would stick to the dash of my Jeep Liberty. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it now, it appears as though I'm going to either have to find a more permanent mounting solution or find another type of adhesive.
