It is strong enough to hold a large GPS mean't for motorhomes and tractor trailers in a steady position. This item is very easy to use. I move my Garmin GPS between a motorhome and two vehicles.
While the product description says that it is compatible with the Garmin C340, it is the wrong shape and does not work.Amazon was great in accepting the return and refunding my money.
BUt let's face it, an $11 item retun minus shipping fees, is it worth the hassle. I purchased this at point of sale when I purchased the street pilot because the product description said it was compatible. IT IS NOT.
if you like the one that came with your Garmin you will like this one same as the original.
It comes with a temporary adhesive (gray) and a permanent adhesive (the black donut). You still need a flat surface on which to place it though since the permanent adhesive is very thin.
Others have posted about concerns with theives being able to identify cars with GPS by the suction mount marks left on the windows so a similar concern exists with these mounts.I have three vehicles and occasionally use rental cars so a couple of these along with the cradle/cord from dashmount 010-10613-00 are great choices for those in similar situations. If you have a slightly curved surface, you might consider going with foam auto mounting tape or foam camper sealing tape as the thickness of the foam might give you a better seal across the entire surface.Since this is a permanent mount, it will likely be visible through the window.
If you want to use this with the C3X0 series, you have to buy one of these - 010-10613-00 to get the cradle and cord (see my review there for more details). Once you've selected a location, use the permanent adhesive since the temporary adhesive isn't very sticky.
Overall kudos to Garmin for now providing a very flexible set of mounting options. I have the C340 and purchased a couple of these along with the dashmount and now have a very flexible, cost effective mounting system.If you have multiple vehicles and don't like the suction mount, this is a great option - it is a permanent solution and has the smallest footprint.
Use the temporary adhesive first to see where you want to place it.
