Dead Sea Skin Avani for good
I have this paired with a Nuvi 285WT, and have had no issues with it at all.
It isn’t as big as some seem to indicate it is, which had me a little worried until I actually received it.
The locking mechanism is a little odd in 2 ways:
1) It really only prevents the mounting arm from rotating in the base, doesn’t prevent the GPS from being turned/moved on the arm.
2) You only need to move the latch/handle part of the lock some of the way in the lock slot to lock the arm. There is about another inch of slot that you could try to push the latch into, but since it won’t actually move further, and because the latch has a bit of “give”, there is a good chance that you will snap the latch/handle off. Basically, the locking slot is bigger than it needs to be and is misleading. I almost found this out the hard way…
While this would fit in either the glovebox or the center console in my car, due to other things filling them up pretty much to the max already, I opted to put this under the seat when not in use. The only thing is that I decided to put it in a plastic baggie before doing so because I have a suspicion that the base might end up picking up dust/dirt/crud from the floor and over time losing some of it’s non-slip qualities.
Highly recommended for any GPS that will fit it, although I am suspicious that the locking latch may easily break if stressed beyond where it should be.
