- Same problem as others, sticks to glass...then won't stick
I bought my wife a Nuvi 350 for her birthday last August (overall, we love the Nuvi, but the mount...no). The biggest "advantage" of the Nuvi over other GPS systems is its portability. Unfortunately, the suction cup appears to have been designed to subvert this feature. The cup sticks to the first window it is attached to very well...and then won't let go. When we tried to transfer it (after being attached only a couple of days), it left pieces of itself to the windshield and was very difficult to reattach to another windshield (though with difficulty and repeated tries, we have been able to move it).

What this means is that you need a mount for each car you want to use this in. The mount and the charging/power wire (which you will also need since it is cumbersome to remove from the mount) are pretty darn expensive ($60-70) which is ridiculous for a "portable" system!

- Shouldn't be Necessary!
It's a real shame that one has to go out and buy these suction cups after spending several hundred dollars on the Nuvi. Yet, the cubs quickly become fused to the windshield (no matter what season), and if removed often, they quickly lose their stick. Thus, if you want to move the Nuvi between cars (the only advantage over having a built-in GPS system), then you must buy extra cups for each car. I found Garmin impossible to contact!

This mount is very stable, easy to install with multi position for the unit that functions with ease.

- Not good enough by itself.
I do not think suction cup mounts work very well. This one is no exception. While attaching and detaching my Garmin Nuvii is easy enough, the cup does not support the weight. I was disappointed that a Friction bag was not available for my Nuvii. However, I was able to Jury-rig an acceptable if less than pretty compromise. I ordered the Friction mount, removed the screws on the bottom, detaching the mounts that would not fit my Nuvii, and stapled velcro strips purchased at Walmart across the base of the suction cup into the friction mount. I have been cross country using this system and it works. the Garmin Portable Friction Mount for GPS 010-10306-00 combined with the suction cup is a much better solution than the cup by itself.

- It's better than nothing
I recently tried to take the mount off the windshield as I was using a rental while my car was being repaired. I couldn't get it off to save myself. I called the products support line and, like the others below, I waited for a while. However, once I got a representative and reported the problem I was promptly issued a new suction cup and ball. It would be better to get the whole package (i.e. the clip included), but it's better than nothing. I'll be getting the parts in 7 to 10 business days free of charge (and I didn't even have to mail in my reciept!!!). The representative told me that I shouldn't have had the mount on the windshield over long periods of time or risk a car break-in. I suppose she's been getting lots of calls concerning this and had to come up with some excuse.
