Are there any recent or current 5" or 6" Garmin Nuvi models that come with a powered cradle? I will appreciate any advice! Thanks!

the above thread does have a nice list of Garmin units with powered cradle as of 2012. Does anybody know which later years models come with this feature by any chance? TIA

Some Suggestions

I agree the list of Powered Cradled Nuvi's needs to be updated. Perhaps if you narrow it down to models that have the features you are looking for owners of those units can advise if the unit is powered or not.

Garmin does not indicate in their description of models that have powered cradles for some reason, but a rule of thumb is the higher quality units may have it. I prefer a powered mount for ease of removal.

What you can do is go to the Gramin site and click on a unit that is of interest to you, then click on accessories, then mounts. You may find a clue there if the unit has a powered mount.

Here is a link for the 3597LMT

I do miss the powered cradle

I do miss the powered cradle on my 1490. My 780 has it and it is so much easier to remove and replace the unit when parking in "suspect areas and when doing firmware and map updated.
