This mount works perfectly with a Garmin nuvi 885T in my 2007 Mini Cooper's passenger cup holder. I did not want a windshield mount or a permanent mount, either of which would advertise the presence of a GPS, and I had tried every other possible way of mounting it (visor mount had bad angle & I couldn't plug unit in; vent mount didn't fit curved vent; lighter mount didn't power GPS properly - but might have worked on a GPS without a traffic transmitter; my own home-made cup mount was too wobbly). This cup mount is adjustable in fitting the cup holder, and the goose neck is adjustable for height and viewing angle. It fits securely (no wobble). It's removable, and holds GPS at the height where I like it: just above gear-shift level (bottom of GPS sits approximately 7.5 inches above top rim of cup holder), so it's easy to see without having to look down too far, and doesn't interfere with any car controls or displays. (You could adjust it to stand lower,if you prefer, but probably not much higher.) I will say that it does squish down the cup holder's internal rubber fins that hold a drinking cup in place. I don't know if the fins are permanently squished or if they'd eventually resume their original shape (I suspect they would recover). But I didn't care about that since I rarely use the cup holder for drinks, and I have a second cup holder. Mount comes with adapers for other devices, which I can see would be easily interchangeable, but I've never used them.

Several adapters are included to join the GPS to the end of the gooseneck, but these are all double-T-slot types. I bought this to use with a Garmin nuvi 765, it was associated by Amazon as an accessory often purchased together. Rotten luck, the 765 will NOT mount to this accessory. I'm only out 20 bucks but I did not find any specific language or list of compatibilities that ruled in or out this accessory with that GPS.

As Robert Falcon Scott journaled, "I do not regret this journey. We took risks, we knew we took them, things have come out against us. Therefore we have no cause for complaint."

As Goofy said, "Wal, practically."

Purchased this for My Magellan Roadmate 1700 which I use in my RV. None of the included adapters work with this GPS. Luckily, I also have a Garmin Nuvi 260W which I use in my car and there was an adapter for this device. Just as well I guess. The stability in the cupholder is just about maxed-out by the 4.3" Garmin. I seriously doubt it could handle the 7" Magellan anyway.
