 - not as sturdy as I expected it to beIf I had seen the product first hand, I would not have bought it at all. I do most of my driving on back country roads with lots of potholes and I dont feel that my Garmin 72 is really secured in it's mount because of all it's weight pivoting on that small piece of plastic. Maybe for $10 I'll consider buying it again. Rating:  - Garmin Swiveling Automotive Mount for the GPS 76CSXThis unit is a very basic one that mounts on the dash or else where by adhesive patch. One patch is supposed to be a temperary one and that works just like junk. If it gets very hot in the car the whole thing comes down. I had to the resort to the permanent mount which I really didn't want to do. But that work just fine and was just used on a 2500 mile trip tp Yellowstone NP. I would not purchase another one like this, even though it did the job. Under other conditions it probably would have been just right for the job. Rating: - item is flimsy, likely won't hold up over timeitem fits all sizes of iPods, but it uses an adjustable arm to do so, which does not look like it will survive extended usage. The item doesn't even work, anyway. No charge, no radio transmission. Fresh out of the box too. We are looking into our car charger to more fully explore the nature of the problem, but had i known about the "adjustability" factor earlier, i wouldn't have bought this item. Rating:  - Rugged and DependableI've been using this mount in my car for almost a year now and it has held up well. I like the fact the holder comes off the base so it can be used in other vehicles with other bases. I use it on a beanbag style base in my wifes van and that setup works good too. The reason the mount only gets four stars from me is the fact that it is difficult, and sometimes takes two hands, to put the GPS in and to remove it when using the cigarette plug power cord. Rating:  - great gps holderI hardly ever used the GPS in my vehicle until I bought this, great addition, holds well and use it almost daily, no complaints, easy removal of GPS as well easy install, definatly worth the small investment
