Garmin 010-10457-00 Review by Ariel "Ariel" (Atlanta, GA)
First off, it does what you'd expect: it lets you mount your receiver on your windsheld. I use the 60CSx and it works perfectly.
The suction cup has a little switch which lets you flip between light suction and full suction, a big plus for when you're trying to position it vs. when you want to keep it in place.
Even with both knobs locked down, the receiver will vibrate quite a bit when driving, not enough to make it unusable, but enough to be slightly annoying.
You can rotate the receiver in the cradle radially (like the hands of a clock) but not side to side if you wanted it to face the driver or the passenger.
In order to mount the receiver, you need to screw the little thing onto the back that comes with the receiver's belt clip. That's what the ring at the top of the holder is for.
The clamp at the bottom which locks the receiver in place is very tight, but it probably should be. It does take a somewhat considerable amount of effort to remove the receiver by pulling down on the clamp and letting the receiver pop out.
One thing to note is that the cigarette lighter adapter's cable is designed in such a way that it goes down the back of the receiver, not off to the side or straight backwards towards the windsheld. Thus, the mounting bracket wing (one of the two arms that holds the receiver on either side) gets in the way of the cable. To get around this, you have to first mount the receiver in place, THEN attach the power cable. When you pull the receiver out, it will automatically push the power cable out in the process.
It's not perfect, but it does the job and certainly beats the alternative of laying the receiver down somewhere and not being able to see it easily.
Garmin 010-10457-00 Review by Sascha Burkard (wyoming)
I purchased a Jeep Liberty a few months ago and because there's no space for a dashboard mount, I decided to try the windshield mount - despite having read the poor reviews. I figured "well, maybe some people just didn't clean the suction cup and windshield beforehand", etc... couldn't be *that* bad, could it? In a nutshell, it is. I cleaned both with a mild soapy solution, with windex, plain water, tried applying it in moist, wet, and dry conditions, etc... the small suction cup simply isn't capable of securely holding the mount in place over a prolonged period of time. Sometimes the GPS would fall after a half hour, usually within a few hours, other times I'll get in the car only to find the mount and GPS laying on the floor.
The mount isn't worth it in my opinion, and I'll be looking for something else. I've even already considered *gluing* the mount to the windshield. I love Garmin and their line of GPS units, they make some amazing products. But unfortunately their windshield mount isn't one of them.
Garmin 010-10457-00 Review by The Dave 3000 "td3k" (Arlington, TX United States)
I am very impressed with this mounting bracket; it works much better than I thought it would. It is built solid and is very easy to figure out. The suction cup device works great and provides for a very secure hold on any glass surface. I've read some reviews that mentioned the need of mounting the bracket down low so that the GPS unit rests on top of the dashboard for stability to keep it from bouncing when driving. I can confirm that this is indeed a problem. The first time I tried this was at night and I didn't notice it straight off. But the next day in the daylight, the bouncing and shaking was very noticeable. I do wish there was an adjustment to allow the unit to pivot to the left or right along the vertical axis. This would be a huge improvement as it would help to adjust the unit to avoid problems with glare and reflections on the face of the GPS unit. All in all, I am very pleased with this product and I was thinking about purchasing a second one for the other car. However, this one is so easy to mount and take down it's not really necessary to purchase another one. This one is a real keeper.
