I highly recommend it. My window mount was alway detaching and the module would go flying. I actually ordered the dashboard mount by mistake but I absolutely love it. The module easily clicks in and out of this holder and it stays put like you wouldn't beleive. Not a problem with this product.
The first is that it's so expensive. I have taken some hard turns and it barely budged. When I hit bumps it moves a little, so every now and then I'll have to bring it back to where it originally was on my dash. The dash mount works ok. I have to say it is better than the suction mount because it will last longer than a year. I have 2 problems with this mount.
Not a huge deal, but still annoying.This is an ok dash mount, but definitely not perfect. I bought this dash mount for my C340 because my suction mount no longer stuck to the window after about a year. It is easy to get the Garmin in/out of the mount and I am pretty sure it is nearly impossible for the mount to topple over while driving. The second is that it tends to shuffle around on my dash.
It doesn't leave marks on my windshield and I feel like my navigator is safe from falls. I feel that the suction cup or the ring left behind makes you a mark as a traveler and opens you up to any problems that come with that distinction such as theft. I have taken my c340 attached to this mount down a rough, bumpy, washboard, gravel road and the mount only slid a couple of inches after 25 minutes of driving. The mount does move a little bit, but it is nothing to worry about. It is well built and well designed. I use this mount with a c340 Street Pilot. The footprint on this mount is bigger than the sand bag design. The c340 was never in danger.I really prefer this mount to the suction cup that came with the c340.
Go over a bump and the Garmin is in your lap. Why didn't Garmin offer this option when product was purchased. Now my Garmin can be placed anywhere on the dashboard or in the bump out over my radio. I didn't need the expense. If you want an easy removal, just pick it up and stow away in glovebox. Much better than the suction cup mount because when your windows are not squeaky clean the suction cup doesn't adhere.
I personally did not like hanging it on the window as it can block your view. Since my Garmin is no longer produced most big box stores told me to buy a new, updated model. Mine was working perfectly well but the wire from the window mount broke off.I would venture to say this wire could only last so long. Also the sticker (which is permanent)used for sitting it on the dashboard was also not an option as I have a leased car.
Much better than sticking mount to windshield. Stays right where I put it. Does a great job. Some reviews state that it slides off dash, but I have not had that issue.
