Also, it does not work for the Garmin Dakota. If your bicycle has large handlebars, then be forewarned.this product does not fit on handlebars over 1" diameter. If you have a Dakota, buy the one from the Garmin website.
It will even remain stuck to the window in below zero weather. We were skeptical like other buyers, but this mounting bracket really does stay on the window and has yet to come off accidently. Very impressive and sturdy.
It protects the GPS well and is very durable. This is a great case. I used it while I was hunting last year and it protected the casing and the screen great.
So, the mount works, just not perfectly. It's just OK. It "clicks in" just fine, but once the unit is engaged on the mount, there is a bit of play in the connection, so if you are riding a nicely stiff road bike, every bit of road vibration will rattle the heck out of the GPS. So I had to mount this very close to the stem, which solved the problem.The other issue I have is that the mounting clip which goes on the GPS does not "seat" on the bike mount very tightly. It's a decent design, but seems a bit bulky. It's a bike mount for a GPS, so there's not much to review. The front of the mount is rather fat, so if you mount it too close to your brake cable (as it comes out from under the handlebar tape), you run the risk of over-bending the cable housing, which is no good. The solution to that problem is that I wedge a piece of notecard on the mount, which takes up the slack.
I have bought 4 of these mounts so I can use the same Garmin gps on 3 bicycles and my boat. One of them is 6 years old and as good as new.
