How can I keep my GPS windshield mount from losing suction so quickly?

The one that came with the gps device started falling off after a few months so I bought a replacement mount for about $30. After another few months, same problem. It just seems to lose its suction power and will fall off after a short time of driving. Any ideas to avoid this problem? The beanbag solution will not work with my gps (which is a Garmin, by the way). Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

You need to make sure your windshield and the suction cup are very clean. Anything that gets between the windshield and the suction cup can cause a slow loss of suction and let the gps fall. If a through cleaning doesn't help, you may have a bad suction cup. See if you can get a replacement in that case.

mine does this all the time! think my windshield is dirty...one thing i did that helped was i have a bottle of anti-bacterial lotion (clear kind) put a little on the suction cup and it held up great.

Where do you guys store your portable gps when its not in use?

Where do you store your gps after you're done using it?

Are there other alternatives to viewing your gps in your car rather than the mount?

Is it ok to store your gps in your car during a hot day?

Ideally, it is best to take the complete mount and GPS PND with you when leaving your vehicle. If this is not possible, consider where you will leave a Wallet or a cell phone. I would say the safest place in your car would be in the trunk, and if you own an SUV or Truck, than the glove box would be an option but lock it.

You don't want to leave an evidence that there is a GPS mounted in your vehicle before, the windshield mount will leave a ring mark that will tip off the potential thief that there could possibly be a GPS in your vehicle.

These theft are usually a crime of opportunity, so don't make it to easy for the thief's and you should be fine.

The other good reason NOT to store your GPS inside your windshield is that the heat from the sun will dramatically shorten the life of your internal battery so you want to keep it away from the sun in a shady location if possible.

Good Luck

if poss keep it with you they are a great target for bad guys !!! theey can see the sucker mark on your windscreen and hey presto they go straight for the glove box be careful

I take my in the house with me when i'm done, but if im out and about place it under the seat

What is a Good Motorcycle GPS that runs off of AA or AAA Batteries and is Waterproof?

Been riding since Feb and I LOVE Cruising Interstates and traveling to all the attractions located around Central Florida. But the GPS I use in the Car a Garmin C330 isn't waterproof, and has a short battery life.

That's why I'm looking for a GPS that can mount to my bike, is waterproof, and I can swap out batteries from Walmart or something if it dies.

Any suggestions would be apreciated.

+1 to the Zumo, but you may not have 500 bucks to spend on a GPS. Garmin makes a number of handheld models that are street route capable, but they may not be as easy to use. It really depends on the balance of user friendliness/cost you're comfortable with. Check out Garmin's website or a sporting goods store and ask someone that works there to show you what each unit can do.

I use the Garmin Legend. I suggest the Legend C. It will interface with most mapping programs so you can up load your routes from your PC. You can also track a route you want to map. You will not be able to load a route on the fly, but I never do anyway.

Garmin zumo

Waterproof, runs off the bikes battery and comes with handlebar mount.

What do liberals think about the Massachusetts gps and tax mileage proposal?

Do people think it is a good idea to tax mileage? Do people think it is a good idea for the gov't to be able to monitor where you are driving? How much will it cost for the gov't to install gps systems? Will that outweigh the cost of the mileage tax? Will the mileage tax also hurt the lower paid people that drive long distances for their jobs? Or will they be exempt?

Anything that will take money out of your pocket and put it into theirs, they are all for it.

The idea is okay, the way to implement it without infringing on personal privacy and liberty is unacceptable, what the hell is the problem with making gas taxes higher? Its the same revenue, but you don't have to pay to put and maintain a bunch of transponders on cars, and who wouldn't just disable it anyway, they don't work wrapped in foil, or just run a magnet over it, this is really, really dumb, I guess it comes down to the fact that they need to lower government spending instead new ways of shearing the same sheep.

Isn't it Oregon the state that wants to implement that plan, or do they already, I don't know, but this idea is atrocious. Libs refuse to see past the smoke and mirrors of "everything should be green" and "only wealth old white men are Republicans". Hey Libs, try reading up on the ideals of the parties instead of relying on Mtv to tell you who to vote for.

don't agree with either. I drive in other states often and don't think I should be taxed on that. In MA we have several people coming into the state to work that live in NH. But taxing mileage they continue to drive our roads for free.

As long as the men can marry the men, and the women can marry the women, they don't care.

Peter? You forgot AND as long as women can have abortion on demand, even when the baby comes half way out kicking.

Hey, I don't agree. Either they lower gas greatly, or no taxing.

Or both. They don't need the money.
