Topic: After market GPS systems

[Guy]

I use a Pro Clip in my Volvo. Very well made. Fits right in.

I use ProClip as well. Solid, quality holder custom fit for both the car and your device, can't go wrong.

Problem: The suction cup mount on my Nuvi 350 recently failed after it baked onto the windshield in the hot sun. When it was removed, it left a signficant residue on the windshield, meaning the rubber was no longer smooth and could not seal properly. As such, it now falls off often and unpredictably.

Solution: I called Garmin at 1-800-800-1020 (yes, the double 800 is correct) and they will ship me a new mount, free of charge and no questions asked. They said that they changed the composition of the suction cup material, so hopefully this will solve the issue.

FYI...

The Nuvi 680 comes with a subscription to MSN direct. The MSN services (weather, traffic, gas prices and movie listings) are downloaded to the Nuvi through a special cable that connects to the garmin mount so using one of these clips would mean to forgo these features.

Sorry this is a few days late. Pics of how I mounted (click on pics to enlarge)

(1) stick the shiny round disk onto dash where you mount the GPS "holder" (stcky side down; shiny side up)



(2) Arrange the "holder" to look like this:



(3) Mount "holder" in that position onto black disk





**************************************************************
Accordingly, I didn't know that! I had switched mounting it between the 2 cars many times and I thought I was responsible for its loss of suction. Thanks for the tip, I'll call them if my suction goes really bad.

Sticky side down that is how I screwed up
