4.0 out of 5 stars note on the garmin dash mount, July 21, 2006

This review is from: GARMIN 010-10456-00 Dashboard Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series) (3.5" and 5.25" disks)

so far (few days) this seems to work fine..a little "bouncy" with the arm fully extended, but that's just the nature of it. (everyone may not extend the arm the way I did, but it lets you if you want).

It does adjust to just about any angle you need, and in that way is very flexible in its design (3 adjustments, one for how far the arm extends, a second for tilt of the unit front to back and a third for rotation of the unit, e.g. if the base is not mounted on a spot on your dash level to the ground). The permanent adhesive seems to be working well (the temporary adhesive didn't last in the 100+ degree heat direct sun from our heat wave, but worked ok until it got that hot).

one important clarification to a below review - this unit, Garmin 010-10456-00, comes with the base you need to mount it on your dash. (it's really three parts - the clip for your gps, the rotating / adjusting arm and the swivel base that attaches to your dash). so, contrary to the below earlier dated review, you don't need anything additional for this mount.

however, if you'd like to mount this unit in a second vehicle, you can purchase either a second swivel base (e.g. just the base that sticks to your dask) separately, or the weighted base, kind of a bean bag with the swivel base attached. Both of those are the base only and require you to already have the arm and clip for the GPS which come in this package, but let you buy only a new base without having to buy the clip and arm over again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works very well, March 15, 2006

By 

Multi GPS User (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: GARMIN 010-10456-00 Dashboard Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series) (3.5" and 5.25" disks)

The mounting bracket works very well as long as you use the permanent mounting adhesive. The temporary adhesive would not stick to my dash very well. The mount is a little springy when driving if left sticking up in the air, not much but a little because of the weight of the GPS. I solved this by adjusting the mount so that the bottom of the GPS rests on the dash. Once I did this the mount is firm and stable and does the job quite well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Garmin Automotive mount & 3-Finger friction mount combination, February 24, 2008

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS COMBINATION!! I purchased BOTH the Swiveling Automotive Mount(010-10456-00) & the 3-Finger Friction Mount(010-10503-01) by Garmin for my GPSMAP 60CSx. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying the COMBINATION. After reading the many reviews warning about using Just the swivel mount, I decided on the combo offered by Amazon. I had been using a cell-phone holder to place my GPS on my dash. THE PROBLEM: every mildly sharp curve, or big bump in the road sent it sliding across(or off) the dash. I found myself holding on to it most of the time. I did NOT even try the swivel mount alone, as it must have a flat, smooth surface to adhear(temporary OR permanent)! SO FAR, WITH THE 3-FINGER FRICTION MOUNT, I HAVE YET TO HAVE IT MOVE!! (I drive a 4-wheel drive Yukon, both on and off-road while Geocaching). VERY ADJUSTABLE! My wife said this is the BEST thing I have bought in a long time, as I don't get mad at the GPS anymore. She said she would gladly have paid $155.00, not the $55.80 it cost just to have the PEACE OF MIND!
