Exceeds Expectations!
I am very impressed with this mounting bracket; it works much better than I thought it would. It is built solid and is very easy to figure out. The suction cup device works great and provides for a very secure hold on any glass surface. I've read some reviews that mentioned the need of mounting the bracket down low so that the GPS unit rests on top of the dashboard for stability to keep it from bouncing when driving. I can confirm that this is indeed a problem. The first time I tried this was at night and I didn't notice it straight off. But the next day in the daylight, the bouncing and shaking was very noticeable. I do wish there was an adjustment to allow the unit to pivot to the left or right along the vertical axis. This would be a huge improvement as it would help to adjust the unit to avoid problems with glare and reflections on the face of the GPS unit. All in all, I am very pleased with this product and I was thinking about purchasing a second one for the other car. However, this one is so easy to mount and take down it's not really necessary to purchase another one. This one is a real keeper.

Very good bracket
After reading some earlier reviews, I was hesitant about purchasing this, as well. Once it came and I installed it, I found I had nothing to worry about. It holds great to the windshield, even through some extreme driving. I do wish it the bracket would rotate side to side, but a pretty minor thing really. I love being able to easily switch the bracket system between my cars and trucks. Holds the GPS very steady (I like having it rest on the dashboard). All in all, I say do it, don't be afraid!

Holds well, should be more solid though
This mount holds your 60xx gps as promised (I'm using it with the newer gpsmap 60csx with no issues). There is a "jacket" that snaps onto your device and the jacket then attaches to the mount via a quick release (incidentally, this jacket is the same as used in the 60xx.. bike mount). The entire construction won't fall off the windshield as another reviewer has stated - I've tried this in Vermont (<30F) and Miami (>80F) and actually had a hard time removing the mount when returning the rental car.
