Overview

The Garmin 010-11441-01 is an automotive dashboard mount that holds compatible handheld GPS units from the GPSMAP 78 family in a clip-in cradle. It uses an adhesive dashboard disc and a swivel-and-tilt base so you can keep the screen where you can see it while driving, then lift the handheld out when you arrive.

This is a mounting accessory only, with no wiring and no built-in power. If you want your handheld to run continuously in a vehicle, plan on a separate vehicle power cable. The mount is covered by a 1-year limited warranty.

Key features

• Clip-in cradle fit for Garmin GPSMAP 78, GPSMAP 78s, and GPSMAP 78sc handhelds

• Quick-release removal so the handheld can be taken off the mount in seconds
• Mounting hardware only and does not provide charging or power to the GPS

What’s included

• Automotive mount cradle with swivel-and-tilt adjustment
• Adhesive dashboard disc

Compatibility and fit

This mount is sized for the Garmin GPSMAP 78-series handheld form factor and clips the unit in place for road use. If you are upgrading from a different handheld line, confirm the model name on the back of your GPS before ordering, since the cradle shape is specific to the 78-series style housing.

Installation and setup

For the best hold, stick the adhesive disc to a clean, dry, non-textured area of the dash or console, then press the mount firmly into place. Aim for a spot that stays out of the way of airbags and does not block gauges. Once mounted, use the swivel and tilt joints to set the screen angle and reduce glare.

Use cases on board

Many boaters run a GPSMAP 78-series handheld on the water and want the same unit visible in the tow vehicle or shuttle car between the dock, ramp, and launch site. On a boat, this style of adhesive mount makes the most sense inside the cabin or at an enclosed helm where it is out of direct spray, since exposed decks and frequent washdowns usually call for a screw-down marine mount.
