Not what I expected:
A velcro strip has to be placed on the bottom of the GPS unit in order to stay upright in the bean bag. Had I known this I would not have purchased it.
Garmin BeanBag Mount:
I find this type of mount very convinent. I have two vehicles and interchange the Nuvi to either one without having to undo something. Also, you don't have something glued to your dash that you can't remove. I find it very, very stable and it has almost infinite adjustment. I would buy another one in a heart beat.
GPS bean bag Review:
Part was not exactly as I had expected. It does not secure my GPS securely. I will probably have to obtain a different type of mounting to secure my GPS to the dash. The picture online seem to indicate support on two side of the unit, but was not the case.
Good to have:
Garmin Bean Bag Mount for GPS V (010-10195-00)
This is not as sturdy or as easy to use as the windshield mount but it is easy to put up and down for short drives around town. This is important as with the rise of popularity of portable GPS systems they have become a favorite target of thieves. It is reported they look for not only the GPS itself but the tell-tale ring-smudge on the windshield. Then they break your window looking for the system somewhere in the inside of the car.
