Which GPS bean bag holder?

[AlmostBoatless]

Thanks again for your advice! Which GPS bean bag holder does everyone recommend?

We just bought our first GPS; the Garmin 760LMT and cannot wait to use it! Any suggestions/advice appreciated!

I've mentioned this before. Our Garmin is suction cupped to a can of beans and it goes in an extra cup holder.

Don't think it works with the 760LMT.

We have the bean bag that Garmin sells - works like a charm. We're not concerned about where it will go in a crash - most likely forward, away from the people. I would never trust something attached to the windshield by a suction cup - sooner or later it will fail.

I didn't get mine from Ebay, but you get the idea.

yep, the suction cup ones are "junk" IMHO. do not get the one with a spring loaded alligator ? holder. got one and returned it. I like the standard Garmin one.

Those bean bag holders are junk. I use an old fashioned window suction cup. I understand that is against the law in CA, but since i dont live there I dont care!

We screwed our GPS to a piece of wood approx 4 x 6 inches which rests on our relatively flat dash but we tie it to a vent opening with a wire just in case.

I had a suction cup type mount that would stick to the textured dash with out needing a stick on disc of bean bag type mount. Look at some of the aftermarket type places.

Made my own holder using the equipment that came with gps, wood and Velcro.
Attached below dash board so as not to block view. Too dangerous to have a big screen gps on dash.

I don't like having anything that can become a missile in an accident. I used double sided tape to stick the round plastic disc on the dash. The GPS suction cup sticks on that disc. If it didn't come with the disc you can buy them.
