Is the ball the same size as a Garmin mount?

No. It is the RAM 1" diameter standard. You need to use it with RAM mounting devices.

The ball itself on Amazon is 1". Just measure yours the best you can to see if it is the same size. The actual Ram mounts are a little forgiving if it is off plus or minus a 1/8" in size, so you just have to be close in measuring.Regards, Mr.Tractors

I do not believe so, depending on the Garman unit. I ALWAYS put a RAM ball like this on my Garmin mounts and use RAM arms and balls everywhere else.

on the little frame that actually holds the GPS device there should be a ball & socket swiveling connection. Far as I know they have only used on size of ball so any one with a socket on the GPS side and a little ball on the suction cup side then this item should be fine

I bought this item as I wanted a dash mount for my Garmin Nuvi. The ball fit perfectly replacing the suction mount for the window.

I don't really know, if a similar Garmin mount is made by Garmin is, then I investigate further. This mounting bracket is simply a copy.

It's a 5/8" ball, I attached it to my buddies ball mount and it works great

I think the ball mount works with any Garmin Nuvi bracket that has a ball socket. It works on my Nuvi 1390.

I don't know, check the physical size. I don't think this is a good GPS mount, it's made by Tom Tom, but dors not hold my Tom Tom very well. I need to use elastics.

I believe that if you have a mount on your GPS that has the ball receptacle, it will work just fine. It just snaps into your mount. I assume it is a universal ball mount. It works great on my standard mount.

This does not come with what you would need to mount it to a Garmin suction mount. http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045072079076045071065053055085/Default.aspx

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. If it is the same dimensions, it should fit; the difference might be in where the charging hole is on the Garmin vice where it is on the case. sorry, I can't really help more than that.

For future reference, the garmin mount employs the nuvi ball mount. The ball is 17mm in diameter. The ibolt dock also uses a 17mm ball that is part if the sucktion mechanism. So yes it will fit a garmin mount.

No, it will not fit. The Garmin bracket takes 17mm ball and this ball is 1" diameter. It only fits RAM brackets.

Best suggestion is to go buy your actual gps mount piece that will fit onto the ball. My beanbag stand came with a clamp but broke with 48 hours cause its a universal clamp n didn't firmly hold my gps! Hope this was helpful! The money u saved by buying the beanbag will easily cover the price of the correct clamp to go on the ball!

Yes. The 17mm ball on the Garmin Friction Mount is a common (but not universal) size for ball & socket mounts. In addition to my Garmin, I have used this for various cell phones. I purchase one of those infamous windshield mounts that has a ball & socket joint and is a good size for my phone. I then unscrew the ball & socket joint, toss the windshield mount part, and attach the cellphone holder to this mount. It has worked for three different phones.

We are using the bean bag mount that we had (and used with a 350) for the new one so I would assume all Garmin nuvis use the same sized ball and socket arrangement.

I know it is smaller than Ram Mount's 1/2" ball and I'm pretty sure it's smaller than Garmin's. If that's the route you are going it would suggest getting a 1/2" ball mount with flat base (Part RAM-A-238U) from Ram Mount and sticking that on the back of the screen with 3M tape. Then you can use any number of mounts from Ram.

Should be fine...standard size I believe. May want to check the specs for your unit on the Garmin site and compare.
