I hope I'm not asking a stupid question. Where are the clips that the GPS snaps into to hold it in place???

The top two clips that have ridges on them get inserted into the vent and lock holding it in place.

The clips I believe you are referring too is the holder or cradle that came with the GPS. That mounts onto the socket of the vent mount. Be careful not too push to hard, the little arms or clips on the mount are fragile and will break. Also, If you use excessive pressure you could break your car vent. It works great and keeps it off the windshield. We use it in a 2002 Acura TL. Hope this helps.

They are the jagged long bars at the top of the photo. The little thick bar underneath supports the device. Not a dumb question, only a question not previously answered.

There is a clip attached to the rim. I like these covers and they were easy to install.

This is just the cradle the GPS sits in, mounts are sold separately. They make a number of different mounts for different needs.

You have to use the ball socket type bracket that snaps around the screen. Then you can snap the screen bracket to a suction cup or friction ball mount available through Garmin.

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.

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!

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

HelloYes there is a mechanism to clamp on to the window, just like a suction cup that allows you hook up the GPS too, and it is very stable.and no on the SD card, these new GPS only have USB connection thru your computer, and thats where you would do your free updates...

No idea if the Max clip will fit both models. Never had a problem with GPS and all I use is the visor clip.

Yes I'd like to know too how a GPS system would work with this holder. It seems you would constantly be looking down--not terribly safe? Anyone have any experience? Thanks jc

The GPS is part of the upper handle, of which is detachable. The GPS is adjustable forward and back for better viewing but can only be detached with the handle.

It has long spring loaded clips. Pull the one down that you have now to get an idea. Installation is pretty simple and straightforward.

I went out on Amazon after I broke the clip for my older Garmin.The notches are different and the old one would not fit in the holder for the newer Garmin. The small notches at the bottom and the top are not the same.Hope this helps

That's strange. I got mine to face straight on and not upward with just the base mount. Like you, I didn't care for the long extension, it was a little obnoxious. That said, maybe check the tilt on the piece that the GPS holder mounts on?

It doesn't have a particular place to attach it. I just used to slide it on the corner.....needless to say i lose it frequently.

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.

Mine donsent have any clips it only has suction cup. But you could probably attach a keychain to it
