 Caveat Emptor October 3, 2008
As you'd expect, this unit does exactly what you'd expect of it, no more, no less...BUT...MAKE SURE YOU ORDER THE BEANBAG SPECIFIC TO YOUR GARMIN. These are not interchangeable. I suggest you go to the Garmin website and make sure you are ordering the correct model Beanbag for your GPS unit.
When our beanbag arrived, the mount included with our StreetPilot c550 would not fit. I had read a review by another poster who said Garmin provided him with the proper mount at no charge.
I went to the Garmin site and submitted an email stating my mount wouldn't fit. After three days, when I didn't get a reply, I called their 800 number. The woman who responded was fairly snippy, telling me I should have purchased the beanbag directly from Garmin (price was 25% higher than Amazon) and suggested I return my beanbag to Amazon and order the proper one on the site.
Amazon issued a return authorization immediately (as usual...even crediting me for my return freight charges!) and as soon as I returned it, got a response to my initial Garmin email, from a very nice, supportive gentleman in customer service, who told me a replacement mount was being sent to me free of charge.
Draw your own conclusion...or better yet, just take the time to make sure you're ordering the right unit.
 Doesn't fit StreetPilot C530 September 15, 2008

The base of the c530 mount is 2.5 inches. The docking station of this beanbag is less than 2 inches. Doesn't fit. Now I notice that the description has changed...no longer mentions my garmin model.

I have the 7200 Street Pilot with the 7" screen. The mount that came with this unit was for dash only, and it used adhesive for this purpose. I later had to pull the mount off when I needed to move the unit temporarily to another vehicle, and I cringed as I peeled it off, hoping I wouldn't damage the dashboard.
The problem is in the past now with this beanbag mount. It works very well, even with this relatively large unit 7200 unit. I saw some reviews that said the beanbag would slide in some cases. My beanbag unit's friction is so good that it NEVER slides, but if my vehicle pitches wildly, such as on a rutty road, the beanbag mount will tip over. This is rarely a problem since one would not normally be navigating on such a road surface.
I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS BEANBAG MOUNT

Be sure you want only the beanbag without the mount-- Unless you've lost only the bag, this is not much use without the appropriate mount.

Does not fit Garmin c580. The mount on the Garmin is to big. Garmon sent me a replacement mount. Great product if you need to use it in several cars. Also easy to hide from view when car is parked.
