This review is from: RAM Mounting Systems RAM-B-166-GA12U Suction Cup Mount for Garmin Astro 220, GPS 60, GPSMAP 60, 60C, 60CS, 60CX, 60CSx (Electronics)

After the first all-plastic windshield mount (by Garmin) for my 60CSx broke, I purchased this RAM unit as a replacement.
This product is well built, heavier, and has a sturdy suction device.
The Garmin unit used a thin plastic lever to generate the suction, and it inevitably broke. This will not happen with the RAM system.
Where the other unit was difficult to adjust to suit my viewing, this one is easy.
Where the other device allowed vibration and jiggling of the GPS while driving, this one keeps the GPS completely still.
I highly recommend the RAM system.

I bought this to use on my boat and it is rock solid. Even under some really rough conditions at high speed the mount has never come off or creeped. It's also extremely easy to mount, adjust and remove. Much better than any other mount I have purchased

I recently purchased this after having my Garmin GPS60csx for about a year. Like I said above it is of SOLID construction made in the USA. It fits perfectly and just rests in the cradle. I drove over some good bumps and tight turns and it stays in place just fine. The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 is that is lacked instructions, although a nice full color brochure of all RAM products was included.

There are 4 screws and 2 bolts you need to screw in with a Phillips screwdriver which is pretty straight forward, however like I said before a simple instruction sheet would be nice. It is easily adjustable so you can get just the right angle. I highly recommend it for anyone who has this model GPS and would like to get additional usage in your vehicle.
