Sweeeeeeeeeet. Funny that Garmin still had outdated info on their site when I purchased my GPS four months ago. It’s updated now, so all’s cool.

Admittedly, that left lower corner thing seems odd to me. Means taking one’s eyes further off the central part of the road. Mounting it in the lower center area would at least let peripheral vision factor in.

I agree with cordelli - I use mine continually on rental cars, attach / remove it every time I get out of the car without any problems at all. Takes about 2 seconds to attach or remove.
