The mounting bracket for my Nuvi 310 won't stay stuck to the windscreen with the result that the whole unit falls to the floor, which is obviously very annoying indeed. I wipe both the windscreen and suction cap each time I mount the bracket to the windscreen. Does anyone have any tips that may help the unit stay fixed to the windscreen? Cheers

Hi

Obvious question perhaps, but you are pushing the locking mechanism down once in place on the windscreen aren't you ?

If so, does the locking mechanism pop open when causing it to fall off ? When mine's locked, it's absolutely rock solid. There's no way of removing it from the windscreen without unlocking it.

Hi,
Thanks for your message. Yes, the bracket is locked in place and still falls off. I contacted the local Garmin agent and it seems they have had some other complaints about the bracket. They replaced the bracket with a bigger one and so far so good. Cheers

Put a bit of moisture on the suction cup, you won't have a problem after that, or use your tongue.

Same with my nuvi 660. Agree, moisture on suction cup seems to help. I went away from the suction cup mount for this and a number of other reasons. I now use the garmin "bean bag" on-dash mount, which works well.
