Been great so far! [Posted on 2007-01-10]
I bought this mount to use on my atv for hunting season.It fit perfectly on my gas tank and kept my gps close to me, also in this position, The handle bars keep it protected from tree limbs and mud.The gps can be quickly removed from the mount with the push of a little tab behind the unit,or you can remove the whole assembly leaving only the round base piece in place. I know this is not the "intended" use for this style mount,but so far it's held up great for me.
Great item if you get the eTrex Legend Cx [Posted on 2007-04-15]
I highly recommend getting the auto-mount if you get the eTrex Legend Cx. It is easy to attach to the car dashboard. The only reason I am not giving it a full 5 stars is because I have a Jeep Liberty and the sticky stuff that it came with did not want to stick to the textured dashboard near the heater blowers.
A little pron to vibration [Posted on 2007-08-06]
It works well, but does allow a little vibration. The reason is two things...the first is its "fold up" design. The mere fact that it has to "fold up", makes it pron to amplify vibration.
The second is the way it mounts to the base plate. Even when locked, the mount can still move up and down slightly. This movement will amplify at the unit due to leverage.
Dont get me wrong...it works well, I would have like to se it tighter tho.
etrex vista automotive mount (010-10274-00) [Posted on 2007-08-31]
Mount works good. I have it in my truck using the temporary mounting adhesive. It holds real well and I haven't tried taking it off of my dash. Will be interesting to see how the adhesive holds up in the winter when the temperatures dip down below 0 deg. F.
not working with Vista HCx [Posted on 2007-10-19]
As other reviews have mentioned, it doesn't fit units with removable MMC card in the battery compartment, the instruction does mention that the original back cover has to be used, and needed to be screwed to the base of the mount structure. Well I did find out the screw, but it doesn't fit to the screw hole of my GPS unit. I had to get to a hardware store to find out the matching screw.
I'm surprise there weren't a lot of people complaining about this design defect. Just a warning that if you have a MMC capable units, better double check.
