Customer Reviews

lasted only 8 months
I've bought this universal mount for my Nuvi 200 in May, and it was good for the 8 months that it lasted. I've used this mount at least once a week, so I guess the wear and tear took a toll on it. After a while the little "button" that adjusts the suction cup would not lock, so it could not stick to the windshield. :(

Not 100% As Seen in Picture
Obviously the GPS isn't included, but you will notice in the picture, in the lower left, there is a square-ish looking component with 4 screw holes and a notch cut out. This piece is used to permanently attach the cradle mount holder to the dash, or elsewhere in the car.

The kit does not come with this piece.

After thoroughly re-reading the description, I realized nowhere does it say that this piece is included, so it's really my fault for not paying close enough attention to the description.

I had a use for this piece and was disappointed it wasn't included.

Included are 3 pieces: the suction mount and permanently attached flexible arm, the cradle, and the visor mount.

Also, there are no mounting discs for the suction cup, either, but the instructions do references them, as an optional accessory.

All-in-all, the device seems to be made well for the money ($19.99). I saw similar devices in the store for more money and they appeared to be made more cheaply, or only-as-well, as this one.

I found the cradle in this unit to be a slimmer design than other's I've seen, so if a tight spot for the cradle is a concern, this one may work for you.

I gave it 4 stars because it didn't include 25% of what I expected to be in the package.

I did this rating because others may be looking for that permanent mount, as I was, and I don't want them disappointed - like I was - that it wasn't included.

Useful for viewing GPS services on Mobile phones
I bought this primarily for viewing GPS services on Mobile phones (iphone) along with a dashboard friction mount. This serves the purpose I bought this for and the construction is of good quality. This has adjustable clamps on the sides and the bottom(which press against the phone ends and hold the phone), which can practically hold all the mobile phones on market. But you need to make sure that the adjustable clamps press pretty tight all the time, lest the device should fall.

At least for the iphone, the adjustable clamps on the bottom leave enough gap to use a (car) power charger cord. One of the disadvantages though, is that I can use the phone only in a portrait mode and not the landscape (rotated) mode, as the phone speakers get covered by the adjustable clamps in the landscape mode.

Overall, it's a decent product that serves the purpose.
