Will this hold up on my dash in the Las Vegas sun? Or can it mount on the windshield?

The best spot for it is on the winshield right under the rearview mirror. It attaches with adhesive tape.

It comes with a sticky tape circular mount that might stick to the dash and the holder will suction to that. If you've got a good flat area on the dash it may work good.

Yes it will. I have mine mounted on my dash which is not as smooth as glass so I think you will be very happy with it.

I have the 5" shade which mounts directly to GPS, the dashboard mount can be purchased from Garmin, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon etc.

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

I only use mine inside car on front dash, Not sure if rated for external mounting.

Yes, I actually have it mounted to my dash, but you have to buy a gel dash pad, or sticky pad (this one has adhesive) so the base will have something to grip.

Not likely. I have not found a dash that can hold a suction-cup yet. It does come with a metal disc (as seen in the pic) that can be stuck to your dash to hold it. Otherwise, just use the windshield.

I used silicone to attach the mount as tape will come off in the heat. There was a lot of wobble with my larger RV Garmin, so I used Velcro on the left side to hold it solid.

The sun shade has permament clips. You would have to break them off to use with dash mounted gps, but I guess it could be done. Will it fit your gps?

I have mine on the windshield of my old pickup truck and I get a clear panoramic view behind me, to left and right of my truck bed, and the only time the suction cup failed to stick was when the truck sat in a parking lot, windows rolled up, no shade, at 80 plus degrees for 24 hours. I think it's great.

Good question. I haven't used this in extreme heat yet. It's been in the 80s and worked just fine. I'm really impressed how well it holds my iPhone and stays on the windshield. It's not adhered by adhesive. It has a lever you move in the up position and them place where you want it and then move lever down and stays. Seems like it's a suction deal. I would think it would work fine in extreme heat.

I tried dash mounting, and it held great with a dash mounting plate that I glued to the dash. I went back to the windshield since there was MUCH LESS vibration effect being mounted to the windshield.

I also live in fl. So far I keep in car on beanbag mount, so no suction cup marks on windshield. ( even if unit is removed from dash, thieves look for suction cup marks and will break into car looking for it.) Car is garage kept , but would not worry about it unless you park all day in sun. If thats the case just place in truck or someplace in car in shade.. Direct sunlight would definitely increase internal heat to damage point. ?. Hope this helps...PS this is by far the best screen I have ever seen on a gps, and the features are great.

The adhesive is the Scotch Outdoor Mounting Tape. It can hold up to 10 pounds. I't very, very strong. I have my car parked outside and the temperature has been in the 20s through 30s in the past month and there's no problem. I use it in 2 cars to attached the Garmin dash cam. Installed this past spring.

To be honest with you, I don't think I would. It does have some metal objects that may rust and then shorten the life of the shade. I installed mine outside of course but the mount is under the patio overhang to protect it from direct sunlight and water. I'm not an expert this is just my opinion.

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.
