Digital camera reviews of Garmin eTrex Suction Cup Mount
Digital camera Review: Doesn't Fit eTrex Vista CX
Summary: 1 Stars
This bracket will not fit the eTrex Vista CX. This is because the battery cover supplied with the bracket (replaces the original battery cover to provide attachement lugs) will not clear the microSD card socket. This is very frustrating because the Garmin website even shows this bracket, part number 010-10361-00, in the eTrex Vista CX accessories list. So if you have a CX, don't purchase this item.
Update: Contrary to what other reviewers have said, the adapter that comes with the eTrex Vista CX does NOT fit this bracket. The adapter is a grooved button that does fit their carabiner mount, for example. But the button adapter simply falls out of this suction cup mount.
Digital camera Review: Excellent mounting bracket
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the earlier reviews suggesting that this suction-cup bracket was better than the other one they make, and got it based on those suggestions., to use with my Garmin Vista CX gps. It works as well as those recommendations suggested. No problems so far, except that it is a bit wiggly when you are fiddling with the buttons. But if you grab the whole unit while fiddling with the buttons, you can obvously stabilize it.
The suction cup has held on to the windshield (which is what I was more worried about). It allows you to position the gps where you want. All and all, it's the way to go.
Digital camera Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This bracket is simple, sturdy and compact. The suction cup actually exceeded my expectations in the fact that it has a clever lever to adhere it to the windshield.. Doesn't need to be moistened or such. I love the fact that it has two areas for angling. I don't like that it can't swivel - would be nice to have that feature so that, let's say for instance, the passenger wanted to look at the GPS unit. Again, it requires you replace the original rubber battery cover with a plastic one that allows the unit to click into the windshield unit. Same one that comes with the handlebar accessory. It is perfect for what I needed, to read it as I'm moving for Geocaching.Digital camera Review: For -CX models, get RAM Mount instead
Summary: 1 Stars
If you have a -CX based eTrex (legend or vista) model, the cover plate will not fit due to the grove that is built in to accommodate the micro SD card. Instead, I recommend getting a RAM mount: RAM Mounting Systems Handlebar Mount for Garmin eTrex Venture C, Legend C, Vista C, Venture CX, Legend CX, Vista CXDigital camera Review: Garmin 010-10361-00

BUYER BEWARE!!! It won't fit ANY eTrex VENTURE or eTrex VISTA UNIT!!!
Bought this mount 010-10361-00 based on GARMIN's Accessory link for my Garmin eTrex Venture C unit. Ordered and received quickly for ANTONLINE...(fine job on their part I might add 2 days from order Whoo hoo!)
When I opened package it doesn't FIT the eTrex VENTURE.
The unit comes with a replacement battery cover with a built in clip to attach to the mount. The eTrex Venture model has an offset in the battery cover that's different that the one provide with this mount. Went to BASS PRO and bought an NPI mount that's alot more sturdy!
