Digital camera reviews of Garmin eTrex Suction Cup Mount
Digital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
So far I have really enjoyed having this mount. Before I would just lay the GPS on the dash. This is a great improvement. There is alot of adjustment to allow for just about any angle. I would recommend mounting close to the dashboard to provide additional support.Digital camera Review: Holds well except in cold- beware owners of new Garmin units
Summary: 4 Stars
The suction cup works- only falling off my windscreen about once every two weeks; moreso when it's cold. The adjustments are pretty flexible but it's quite difficult to reach the various knobs once the GPS unit is installed. (Garmin- an extra 1/4" would have been handy). The unit is ridiculously priced for a few flimsy pieces of plastic. The back cover the unit (supplied) does NOT work for the newer eTrexs with micro-SD cards for memory. You have to use the screw which came with your unit and if you've lost that screw- well you are scr*wed. I think Garmin should either provide a back for new users or dramatically lower the price of the unit.Digital camera Review: I'm a little disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a little disappointed overall. The suction cup evidently sticks only to glass, not to dashboard or other vehicle interior surfaces. When applied to glass, it has a tendency to work itself loose over time. Finally, there's an included adapter to secure the eTrex to the mounting bracket. If you're using it for geocaching, it means that when you remove the eTrex from the bracket to go off-road, you either have to remove the adapter (not difficult, but requires a screwdriver) or the eTrex won't fit into it's case. I expected a little more from Garmin.Digital camera Review: IT DOES WORK FOR eTrex Vista CX !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes it works on eTrex Vista Cx... actually it is not used the battery door replacement on the newer eTrex models. Instead you should have had in your original package a plastic adapter with a silver coin screw that goes into the back of the unit andthen attaches to the mount.
That is why this PN is listed under Accessories for Vista CX on Garmin Website.
Digital camera Review: Modifications required... then great product
Summary: 3 Stars
The back cover did not fit directly on the back of my eTrex Ledgend HCx because there was not a space cut out of the cover to fit over the part where the microSD card fits in. So I had to take my dremmel tool and carve out part of the back of the newly purchased back battery cover, then I could attach the new back cover with the clip that attaches to the suction cup mount.
However, now that I have the back cover fitting on my GPS, it clips on and off the suction cup mount very nicely. And I even bought a handlebar mount for my mountain bike which uses the same clip... so I can easily unclip from my car mount and clip to the bike mount and back again very easily.
If you have a microSD under your battery cover, plan to carve out the back cover... then everything works great.
