Mounting your Garmin GPS on your vehicle's dashboard provides a convenient and safe method for viewing your road GPS device while operating your vehicle. Included with your Garmin road GPS unit is a dashboard mounting kit, which will enable you to quickly install the unit onto your vehicle.
Selecting the Location
Carefully select the location for mounting the GPS device on your dashboard. A good location will not adversely effect your field of vision through your front windshield and will simultaneously provide for easy viewing of the GPS unit without having to look away from the road.
Preparing the Dashboard
Using a car upholstery cleaner, carefully clean the desired location. For the adhesive to properly adhere, the dashboard surface must be clean and dry.
Preparing the Disk Mount
Remove the protective backing from the adhesive located on the back of the dashboard mounting disk. Be careful not to bring the unprotected adhesive into contact with your hand or other objects as this well reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive tape.
Placing the Mount
With the adhesive covering removed, place the disk mount onto the clean, dry surface selected for the GPS unit. Take your time aligning the disk over the dashboard to ensure it is in the correct position. Once the adhesive is placed on the dashboard, it is very difficult to remove.
Apply the Suction Cup on the Disk
Remove the plastic covering from the top of the disk mount to reveal the suction cup mounting area. Place the suction cup into the disk mount and move the suction cup leveler to the down position. The suction cup provides additional strength to the GPS dashboard mount.
