Barbara,
the beanbag should support any Nuvi, provided your Nuvi’s mount clips onto a ball.

Question on the beanbag . . will it support the new Nuvi 265WT? I agree, the windshield suction mount doesn’t work consistently and I’m looking for an alternative. Thanks!

Terry,

Just to let you know the suction cup holder for any item is not legal in California! So here we have no choice and the bean bag holder works great anyway!

With Respect,

I love my Garmin.
I use the suction cup though. I put it on the left of the windshield all the way towards the door. I am learning my way around my city more because I no longer say “I don’t know where that is” I just go.

Hi Jim,
Actually Garmin has software available in Beta for the Mac for many of their GPS units. I’ve used the beta to update the software in my Nuvi as well as to add custom POIs.

Thats great if I switch between my radar detector and a GPS. My only problem with the GPS units is I have not found one that oroks with Mac software. Any ideas?

I have used the Garmin StreetPilot 2620 for a couple of years now, with the Bean Bag, and it is still performing as it did when I bought it. I too, recommend this solution.

A friend of mine has a smaller unit (much like yours) and as we were riding on a smooth road last week, his unit fell on top of his console, then onto his lap, and finally onto the floor. It survived, but distracted him for a few seconds; long enough to get into an accident. Fortunately, there was no traffic around us at the time.
