Product Description:
Got a funky, contoured dash that won't allow you to mount your eTrex level? Solution: suction cup mount. Stick mount to the inside of the windshield or window and snap eTrex into place. Bracket is jointed, so you can adjust to your heart's content and get the unit out of direct sunlight.

This bracket has a lot of adjustability, except you cannot swivel the bracket so that the GPS is rotated toward the driver if the bracket faces straight toward the back of the vehicle. Instead, I had to mount the bracket slightly angled, then rotate the vertical rotation of the GPS so that it's straight vertical. Also, the back plate provided with the bracket does not fit my Venture CX, though I have the adaptor provided with the GPS itself, so I don't need the plate provided. I like that it's compact, compared with the one I use with a Magellan Meridian, and that it doesn't seem to need water to keep it attached securely, like the Meridian's bracket. The Meridian bracket, though, will allow me to attach it quickly, and doesn't need an extra piece to secure it to the bracket, but snaps right in, which the additional piece required by the Venture makes the Venture less comfortable to carry when I get out of the vehicle to head to the cache.
Pros:
Compact
Adjustable
Easy to install securly without having to moisten the suction cup.
Cons:
Needs a vertical rotation ability so that it can face the driver.
Additional piece needed to attach the GPS.
Not perfectly compatible with Cx series GPS units.

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.

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 CX

I am an avid geocacher and use this with my Garmin GPS. It works great. Just clean your windshield with some windex, moisten the suction cup and attach! It holds my GPS securely and allows me to look at my GPS without interfering with my vision.

I recently purchased an eTrex Vista HCx and since it doesn't fit my dash mount for my 60Cs I needed another mount for my car. I purchased the windshield mount after reading positive reviews here.
My impression after a month or so is that it works fine. I put it on and haven't removed it. It still holds solidly and with surprising little shake. I'm hoping the exposure to sunlight doesn't eventually render the suction cup brittle and useless but so far so good.
I didn't rate the holder five stars because it is too expensive, it should cost about 1/2 or even 1/3 the price.
