Does anyone know where I could buy a "bean bag support " for a Garmin 650 in the Vancouver BC area.
I'm tired of the window support falling off.

They also had a 3rd party unit for < $10us, but I odn't know if it came with the mount.

If you have a best buy or a target store around you, they should carry them.. I think Walmart does too but have not been to one in a while..

I got mine in Best buy!

I saw them at Best Buy but they're super expensive at $49.99 CDN, then add GST and PST, you're looking at almost $56.

What you should do is get a US Mailbox in Blaine USA, like Mailbox International, near Cost Cutter. It's not a Post Office box. They have a real address that FedEx and UPS delivers to. They'll hold on to your packages for $2.50 per package.

I ordered my Garmin friction mount from Amazon.com for about $25. Had it shipped to my Blaine mailbox. No sales tax, and free shipping. Drove the 30km to the border and picked it up and the border guard waved me through, saving me GST and duties. So all in all, I saved about $30 on this beanbag mount with the parity in dollar, about 2 months ago.

It arrived in the original Garmin packaging (so no knockoff) and stayed put even on a New Beetle's dashboard.

This version comes with the pedestal, and allows you to rotate the pedestal for best placement.
