Dash mount is better than windshield suction cup mount

The Garmin Nuvi comes with a windshield suction cup mount and not a dash mount. The suction cups (if left mounted in the sun) begin to stick to the window and are then ruined when you peel them off. They leave a black ring on the windshield and lose all suction ability. I have bought and ruined a few suction mounts and will be using dash mounts from now on. You must have a flat section of your dash for effective mounting.

The Nuvi 350 comes with dashboard & windshield mounts

This mount, or something similar, was included with my Nuvi 350.

The literature with the Nuvi says the adhesive can be very difficult to remove, so I'm giving it 3 stars because of that. I haven't actually used this mount because I didn't want adhesive all over my car's dash.

Want to clarify: If you have a Nuvi, the Nuvi 350 comes with a dashboard mount, so I don't know why you'd need to buy it separately. The Nuvi also comes with the windshield suction mount, both car and AC chargers, and a leather case. Unless you need two, don't order it for the Nuvi.

The only thing you'd need to buy separately, if you want one, is the friction mount. I have the one "for Nuvis" and it works great! It uses the bracket that comes with the Nuvi unit and did not need any additional part.

Great mount but should be included with the Nuvi

The mount works great but why didn't they include it? It is illegal to use a glass mount in some states and if you had an older Garmin that used the dash mount, this allows the nuvi to snap into that mount. Also, using the suction mount is a pain because the cord hangs down and looks bad. If you have a Nuvi, get this mount but complain to Garmin for not including it in the first place.
