Home > Consumer Reviews > Garmin Dashboard Mount for StreetPilot c310, c320, c330 and c340 (010-10613-00)

Dash-Mount is much better than the suction cup. It moves easily from car to car (in our case, between the Astro-Van and the VW NB convertible). It's easy to remove from the dash by picking it up. Will not slide on dash unless you tip the car over.

I wish this mount was the standard mount and the suction mount was the optional.

PLUSes:

+ stays put
+ easily transfer from car to car
+ power cord stays attached to mount.
+ great price! here on Amazon.com

No minus

I bought the C340 recently and have been very satisfied with it. However, the suction cup mount gave me trouble on my recent trip to california. I had attached the suction mount to the rental car. After two weeks of roaming in the California sun, I was stunned when I found out that the suction cup had fused to windshield. I couldnt get it off and so had to shop for a new mount. This dash mount is really good especially since it is not glued or vacuum attached to anything. The product description on amazon "the mount is hardware-free: simply attach the included adhesive disks--one for each leg--and then connect the StreetPilot to the top." gives the impression that it uses adhesive which is incorrect. I am very satisfied with this product

It is superb !!!! it is basically an equivalent of bean bag mount for C series. it doesn't slip so easliy, even in rough turns. Garmin is truly an innovator !!! This mount works perfectly for a curvy dash board & for flat ones as well.
It is friction based, no adhesive, screws, stiking on windshield etc.

Only one Q: Wonder what will happen in a crash, will this fly & hit my children in the back ? this will be scary, i hope not. the reason i am worried is that the 3 bases are darn heavy !

This device should be the standard way of mounting the navigators. For security I like to place the device down on the floor out of the way while leaving the car parked. It is handy for moving the GPS from car to car. The original mount takes to long and is ackward to remove and attach to the windshield.

I found out the hard way that the factory-included suction mount isn't very dependable, unless you find the perfect place on the windshield to stick it to. After mounting it onto the windshield and giving it a slight tug, it seemed like it had a pretty solid grip. However, midway through the drive while I was turning, the suction mount along with the C340 just fell off. I understand that the system is pretty heavy, but I don't like expensive technology falling to the ground at random times, so I ended up paying extra for this dashboard mount. Works great. I wish there was an option for including this in the original package, but business is business and Garmin wants my $$$, so I'll have to pay extra.
