Customer Reviews

Item Not As Described. Will Not Support Garmin GPS.
I bought one of these to mount my Garmin Nuvi 755T GPS. The item description and photograph for this item are not accurate. Firstly, the photo shows a ball-end mount where devices can be attached. The item came with a rectangular square plate and screws that you have to bolt onto the device being mounted. Secondly, the description states that it is "compatible with all Garmin(r) Nuvi(r)" devices. This is absolutely false. Maybe with the ball end as shown in the photo. Maybe. But definitely not with the screw-on mounting plate provided.

GPS Pedestal Mount works perfectly
I have a Garmin nuvi 760, and this product works like a dream. The round ball socket fits perfectly with my nuvi 760 and the lighter socket power plug is placed in a perfect position for my GPS to be plugged in. The pedestal arm can be easily adjusted to the desired placement angle with no tools being required. The product is also extremely convenient to remove...you just unplug it from your car's cigarette lighter socket. I've now purchased an additional product for my son's GPS.

Good "idea," bad quality
The idea of this mount is good, but the execution is poor.
I purchased this and thought it was great for the first few weeks I had it. Despite being extremely careful with it, the exposed wire shown in photos started separating at it's insertion point and the device charging failed after only several weeks of use. This is just like cheap headphones that lose sound in one ear after a few weeks use because the thin audio cables start to break off of the ends at the ear buds.
The end that plugs into the car's charging port also fell apart once while unplugging it, but I was able to reassemble it and use it again until that super-fragile electrical wire started to fail.
You can consider it a disposable device.
I won't buy another like this. I wish they would make one of much more rugged quality even for several dollars more cost.
