Overview

The Garmin 010-10823-03 is an adjustable suction cup mount for compatible nüvi 3x0, 6xx, and 7xx series devices. It gives you a temporary, repositionable way to place the GPS where you can see it clearly, with a pivoting mount that lets you change the viewing angle without moving the suction base.

The suction cup can be used directly on a smooth windshield, or on an adhesive dashboard disc when you need a flat, consistent mounting surface. This listing is for the suction cup mount assembly only; the unit mount that clips to the nüvi is not included, so you will need the correct nüvi cradle for your specific model.

Key features

• Compatible with Garmin nüvi 3x0, 6xx, and 7xx series devices
• Pivoting mount so the screen angle can be adjusted at the helm or in the vehicle
• Suction-cup base for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as glass
• Supports mounting via an adhesive dashboard disc when a windshield mount is not practical
• Unit mount (device cradle) not included
• Works with a vehicle power cable routing to keep the nüvi powered while mounted

Compatibility and fit

This mount is intended for Garmin nüvi portable navigators in the 3x0, 6xx, and 7xx families. Fit depends on using the correct nüvi unit mount for your specific model, since the suction cup assembly and the device cradle are separate pieces. It is not a bracket for fixed-mount marine chartplotters or flush-mount installations.

Installation and setup

For best hold, mount on a clean, smooth surface and press the suction cup firmly into place. On boats, a windshield or smooth acrylic screen at a sheltered helm is usually the most consistent surface. If you use the adhesive dashboard disc, place it on a flat area where the screen will not interfere with controls and where the adhesive can cure without being disturbed.

With any suction mount, it is worth doing a quick check before getting underway and after major temperature changes. If you are running in chop or heavy vibration, re-check the seal periodically and avoid placing the GPS where a release could cause it to fall into the cockpit or onto the deck.

Use on board

This is a good match for skippers who use a compatible nüvi as a secondary display for basic navigation or trip information in a protected area, or for trailer boaters who move the same device between tow vehicle and boat. It also suits temporary setups where you want a clear view at the helm without drilling holes in the dash.
