Can anybody tell me how to take the gps off the mount? I could not.

Use the tab on the end of the mount to flex the mount a little - that makes the little latch disengage from the notch in the back of your gps. Then slide off.

Push the mount tab that is under the lower end of your unit and slice the unit away, in the direction of the top of the unit. Mine is also a bit hard to remove, I sometimes have to gently wiggle the unit out. You might also want to look underneath to see if the metal loop to tie down the lanyard (or to unlock the back cover) might not be in the way.

I have mine mounted on my bike and the Garmin simply slides off the mount very easily--effortlessly. Perhaps you have something installed backwards.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

Key is holding down the tab on the lower end, and wiggle slightly as you pull the unit forward.

The passport clicks when it's mounted correctly. You can't remove it unless you mash the release button

You can unscrew the coil from the mount. A weather cap is also included for when you do this.

You can stick the "black round thing" anywhere on the dash board. Then you can attach your garmin mount like attaching to windshield. Make sure you decide where you want it on the dash board (once you stick it, it is kind of stuck there for ever). Remove the thin film on the white tape (hard to remove). Once removed, it's very sticking. Before sticking it on the dash board plan ahead. Good luck!

You still have to use the mounting stand. This just takes it from the window and puts it down on the dash, out of your line of sight.

Well, there should be a little plastic thingy somehow attached to your GPS, and that sticks to the glassy area of the dashboard mount, the same way your GPS gets attached to your rear windshield.

Slip off corner cover, unplug GPS unit from extender box, plug cable to connect GPS unit to extender, replace cover, place GPS unit next to window.It may work without using cable as long as GPS unit is connected to extender box and can get a signal.

You must twist the detector bit which then comes off of the mounting plate. It's not difficult at all.

Another option - but disclaimer, i haven't tried it! - is TomTom's GPS dash mount: TomTom GPS Dashboard Mount for TomTom GPS Navigators

Yes clamp can be removed. Not sure what you mean by "thread on". I room clamp off and added it instead to my other gps mount cause it goes in the ball shaped head

Make sure the bracket isn't attacheed to the GPS. Snap it on the friction mount and then attach the GPS to the bracket. If you first attach the bracket to the GPS and then you snap it to the friction mount you may damage the GPS du to the pressure.

I believe It can be removed easily. I already have a GPS on my dashboard so I mounted it on the windshield.

I agree with dgminer and William Costley - it took a lot of force for me to get the socket of the clip securely onto the ball of the friction mount. The GPS will still vibrate a little, especially if you pivot it up off the base. I keep mine fairly low on the base to prevent this.

I have the Bracketron mounting device and use it only for a windshield video cam a few times per year. Since it works well for that application I'm not able to help other than to say I use my Garmin mounting device and have never had it release from the windshield.

I got the "Koomus Pro CD-M Universal CD Slot Magnetic Cradle-less Smartphone Car Mount Holder", it broke the GPS on the first use,it flipped the direction and even after I removed the plates and stopped using it not fix the problem. It sound like a permanent damage. I'm using iPhone 6. It sound to be iPhone use some kind of digital compass or something.Koomus Pro CD-M Universal CD Slot Magnetic Cradle-less Smartphone Car Mount Holder for all iPhone and Android Devices

It might be, it looks like you might be able to add a ram ball mounting plate to the back of the GPS mount (at least one bolt or screw). This is a great mount that I use for my Amateur Radio, it rarely comes off the windshield.
