Overview

The Garmin 010-10361-00 is a suction cup windshield mount for compatible Garmin eTrex handheld GPS units, giving you a simple way to keep the receiver in view at the helm or in a vehicle.

It attaches to a windshield or other smooth window surface and uses a jointed bracket so the screen can be angled for readability and kept out of direct sunlight when needed.

This mount makes the most sense when your eTrex is portable gear that moves between a boat, a dinghy, and a truck. It keeps the install clean with no drilling, which is handy on rentals, tenders, and smaller helms.

Key features

• Suction cup mount for windshield or window mounting on smooth, clean surfaces
• Snap-in bracket style made for Garmin eTrex series handheld GPS devices
• Jointed arm lets you change the viewing angle and position the unit away from glare
• Keeps the GPS off the dash or console top when you want a clearer, steadier view
• Removable setup that stows quickly when the boat is unattended or trailered

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your handheld is a Garmin eTrex model that matches the eTrex snap-in bracket style. Handhelds outside the eTrex line use different cradles and will not seat correctly in this mount.

Installation and everyday use

Clean the glass where you plan to mount, press the suction cup firmly, and confirm it is holding before heading out. On boats, a protected windshield inside a pilothouse or behind an enclosure is the most reliable place for a suction mount.

Once mounted, adjust the jointed bracket so the display is readable from your normal steering position. If you run in heavy chop or expect repeated shock loads, adding a simple safety tether to the GPS is a smart backup.

Care and limitations

Salt residue and film from cleaners can weaken suction over time. Rinse the suction cup with fresh water, let it dry, and remount when you notice slipping. Avoid using it on textured plastic, painted surfaces, or areas that take constant spray.
