I have had my Garmin Nuvi 360 for about 3 months now and have never mounted it anywhere except the window and have never had it fall off. I certainly like how neuler has his mounted though and will probably be attempting to do the same with mine. Of course that's after seeing more of his friction pad.

 

My c530 has never fallen off my windshield either. I mount it as low as possible under the mirror. When you have 5 vehicles (1 car, 1 truck, 1 suv and 2 motorcycles) you need it to be portable. I adhere to the KISS theory. I never do anything to my vehicles that I can't return to the exact original condition. I can remove everything I have added without leaving any evidence it was ever there.

 

clean the windshield and suction cup often with isoporyl alcohol....

 

well i got a garmin nuvi 250w for xmas and i would like to hardwire it so that it turns on and off with the truck ,anyone done this yet?,its kinda pain in the *** having to turn it on and off all the time

anyone else notice that is looks like the same plug in for a the motorola razr/krazr

 

I never had any problems with mine using the suction cup either. Just have to keep the window clean and once it's on there don't remove it. If you do clean everything again. Now the wife never cleans her truck and she can't keep it stuck to her window at all.

 

Its USB, just a different size. Its the same on my 200w and other electronics I have.

Ill post a pick when I get moved and find my camera.

 

found a hardwire kit that im gonna order http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ype=osi_widget

 

You need to clean the spot where the GPS mounts with rubbing alcohol first then it wont fall off.

 

Garmin 2610, bean bag or m/c mount, PLUS remote control - very handy. I take it the new ones don't come with remotes?

Damn you guys, you made me buy a 2nd one the other day

 

I don't have any pics of my Garmin c530 mounted up, but I have been playing around with mounting it in a few different places. I had it mounted right above the Edge pod, then I mounted it up close to the headliner on the drivers side, and then I tried with it dead center of the windsheild right above the dash tray. I think that I am going to most likely keep it up near the headliner, but I might try with it next to the rear view mirror also.

 

Well....my setup sucks compared to Copeland! rollin' with the lapper. But I have the bean bag mount for my Garmin. I just set it in that tray on the dashboard, but take out the rubber insert because the GPS unit will slide around a little bit if I leave it in. I rarely use it so I have never bothered to come up with any type of permanent mount for it.

 

Hey TX Fx4, where did you get your mount for your GPS? I like your setup!

 

Is the mount that comes with your GPS after market or the one that comes with it?

 

That mount came with my Garmin nuvi 350. You can either stick it on the windshield or use the adhesive disc to mount it on your dash.
