Surprised with beanbag

I use a PDA case from Spec-Ops. It is padded and fits my Nuvi 260 real good.

I looked at the Garmin bean bag on line at WalMart and it was around 27 bucks...So, I went into the local store and they wanted what everyone else did, around 40 bucks...I asked if I could get the internet price, they said sorry...So...I ordered it on line and had it shipped to the same local store I went to before, free shipping. It came in about a week and a half. I don't get the logic there...Anyway, I really like it and wished I would have bought one sooner!

after finding out it is against the law in CA to mount it on the windshield. At first I was afraid the beanbag would move around too much but so far so good. The GPS has stay put.

I'm pretty happy with my beanbag!

I am in a lot of rentals, the beanbag looks bulky. How portable is it? Does it fold/compress? How about weight?

My beanbag, with the bracket for my nuv 750 attached, weighs 1 lb, 6 oz. Without the bracket, it's 1 lb, 4 oz and relatively flat, but not foldable. Dimensions are about 7.5" x 6.5" x 1.25" tall without bracket. It should easily fit in a briefcase or larger purse. I love it!

No it dont fold, or compresss, it isnt that thick that you cant store it somewhere, under a seat, or in the pocket in the back of the seat or in a suitcase or computer case, Not much weight to it amazon says it is 1.6 lbs Shipping weitght. I have one and if i ever had to replace it, I would just get me another one.

schmidwr, you snuck in on me.. you werent there when i started to post..

Thanks, I'm sold.

I'm glad I bought my bean bag. For one, it's easier to move my GPS between vehicles. And for another, I never dreamed of until I started using my GPS, is the ability to move it down to the mid height in both vehicles rather than up on the dashboard...seems my tired old bifocaled eyes can focus better down rather than up on the dashboard. I would have never figured my bifocals would be my limitation rather than the GPS itself.

and use Armoral on the dash and have never had a problem. Just finished a 1600 mile trip through some of the less than wonderful roads in the Yukon and the GPS never slipped at all. Convinced the beanbag wins hands down over the windshield mount!

It's all good with my beanbag!

its the only way to go.

I love the bean bag. It is the best and I have tried them all.

Ordered mine from Amazon along with my 750 and love it. When you park somewhere, it's easy to just place it down on the floor hidden without having to unplug, reattach suction etc. It's the only way to go.

With theft on the rise the beanbag mount leaves no evidence that it was there, like the little circles mark on the windshield.Time to get the windex out now and start cleaning.I would also recommend the beanbag.
