Nice if you can get the base firmly mounted to your dash
I bought this thing thinking I can mount it to the top of my dash. My dash has a slight curve to it, but, it looked like there was a few flat spots where the base could mount. I already new the suction cup wouldn't work on my dash.Didn't work using the temporary adhessive. The temporary adhessive didn't stick to the dash at all. Before installation, I did wash/dry the dash good, to avoid oils, dust and other containmenants from effecting the adhessive. Playing with the second adh...

Great mount but should be included with the Nuvi
The mount works great but why didn't they include it? It is illegal to use a glass mount in some states and if you had an older Garmin that used the dash mount, this allows the nuvi to snap into that mount. Also, using the suction mount is a pain because the cord hangs down and looks bad. If you have a Nuvi, get this mount but complain to Garmin for not including it in the first place.

A must for using Nuvi in many cars
I bought this so that I can use my Nuvi in my cars and rental cars. Although the matching bean bag holder is pretty heavy, it was very convenient to use in a rental car in Europe and never slid or fell. Note that it must be used with the "bean bag holder" (to be bought separately and quite hard to find). The set up could be improved. The charger must be plugged at the back and the plug is hard to access on the mount. Also, I fear the mount is fragile if trying to remove it when its lock or lock ...

The Nuvi 350 comes with dashboard & windshield mounts
This mount, or something similar, was included with my Nuvi 350.The literature with the Nuvi says the adhesive can be very difficult to remove, so I'm giving it 3 stars because of that. I haven't actually used this mount because I didn't want adhesive all over my car's dash.Want to clarify: If you have a Nuvi, the Nuvi 350 comes with a dashboard mount, so I don't know why you'd need to buy it separately. The Nuvi also comes with the windshield suction mount, both car a...

Necessary component for friction mount
This is a necessary component in order to use the friction mount. The combined cost can be pricey, but the automotive mount works well with the friction mount. I don't know why it's not sold as a combined kit for less money (--did I just answer my own question?).

Dash mount is better than windshield suction cup mount
The Garmin Nuvi comes with a windshield suction cup mount and not a dash mount. The suction cups (if left mounted in the sun) begin to stick to the window and are then ruined when you peel them off. They leave a black ring on the windshield and lose all suction ability. I have bought and ruined a few suction mounts and will be using dash mounts from now on. You must have a flat section of your dash for effective mounting.

Garmin Automotive Mount
This mount was a definite upgrade from the suction mount that comes with the GPS. It is much more low-profile and you don't have the cord hanging in your way. My only complaint is that I originally used the "temporary" adhesive disk (it comes with a temporary and a permanent) just in case I wanted to remove it in the future. Even though it held well at first, after a few weeks it actually started peeling off the dash - and we're still not into the hot summer months. The good news is that the...

auto mount for nuvi 360
This is a necessary part if you get the friction mount as it is not included. This clips into the friction mount and hooks into the back of the nuvi 360. It holds the gps with a firm grip and allows you to swivel it in different directions and works very good.

Garmin Accessories
Given California law that forbids attaching anything to the windshield besides a transponder, this accessory is absolutely essential for me. My only gripe is that Garmin does not indicate on its website that you need both this part as well as the sandbag!

Temporary Sticker Useless
I bought this after reading the user reviews raving that the temporary stickers works great.Basically, the temporary sticker is useless. It doesn't even stick! Its more like a silly puddy then a adhesive for the car.However, the permanent sticker worked well... It doesn't look too bad on my car since I have a black dashboard.
