My StreetPilot III came with one of these, which I mounted in my main vehicle, and I then purchased a beanbag mount for my other vehicle and for rental cars. While the beanbag mount does work well, it is no substitute for the "real thing." This dash mount is a great item that allows the unit to be rotated (360 degrees if you want) then easily locked into place. The permanent mounting disk is truly permanent, and the temp disk works great to try it in a position for a while to make sure it works well there.

This mount won't work with the Streetpilot C340 - it's really designed for the 2700 series types. wish I had known that before purchasing it.

Do NOT buy this if you own the c340--it doesn't fit and Amazon shouldn't market this as if it will. It's a nightmare to have to get it returned and get a refund. This is also true for the cigarette lighter adapter--I hope there will be clarity as to which accessories go with each model otherwise, you'll be in for a lot of wasted time and money. The Garmin is great, but the fact that most of their accessories are not compatible within the product family is a huge problem.

This is one half of the Garmin Automotive Mount for Garmin GPS Map 72 and GPS 76 only. Search item # 101025700 in Amazon to see both parts.

While the product description says that it is compatible with the Garmin C340, it is the wrong shape and does not work.

Amazon was great in accepting the return and refunding my money.

same as the original. if you like the one that came with your Garmin you will like this one

If you want to use this with the C3X0 series, you have to buy one of these - 010-10613-00 to get the cradle and cord (see my review there for more details). I have the C340 and purchased a couple of these along with the dashmount and now have a very flexible, cost effective mounting system.

If you have multiple vehicles and don't like the suction mount, this is a great option - it is a permanent solution and has the smallest footprint. It comes with a temporary adhesive (gray) and a permanent adhesive (the black donut). Use the temporary adhesive first to see where you want to place it. Once you've selected a location, use the permanent adhesive since the temporary adhesive isn't very sticky. You still need a flat surface on which to place it though since the permanent adhesive is very thin. If you have a slightly curved surface, you might consider going with foam auto mounting tape or foam camper sealing tape as the thickness of the foam might give you a better seal across the entire surface.

Since this is a permanent mount, it will likely be visible through the window. Others have posted about concerns with theives being able to identify cars with GPS by the suction mount marks left on the windows so a similar concern exists with these mounts.

I have three vehicles and occasionally use rental cars so a couple of these along with the cradle/cord from dashmount 010-10613-00 are great choices for those in similar situations. Overall kudos to Garmin for now providing a very flexible set of mounting options.

I have an old Street Pilot. I bought a new car and was unable to find my old dashboard mount. In my last vehicle I used a purchased bean bag mount and lost the dashboard mount that originally came with my Street Pilot. So, I was a little hesitant to order this dashboard mount. I was quite pleased to find it was exactly what I needed and even came with mounting instructions (which I also lost with the old one).

I purchased this at point of sale when I purchased the street pilot because the product description said it was compatible. IT IS NOT!! BUt let's face it, an $11 item retun minus shipping fees, is it worth the hassle?

Bought this one to replace the one I left in a rental car. It is identical and works great when you use the sticky pad to hold on dash.
