Hard to mount ball into back of bracket? 1450LMT compatible? However, I have forced as hard as I can press and the ball will not insert into the bracket that clips around the back of the GPS unit?

Marshall, I shared your frustration, until I realized the needed bracket is in the 1450LMT box. That snaps onto the 1450 easily -- line up the 2 small protruding tabs with the related long holes of the 1450 bottom. -------- To snap the ball of the J shaped doohickey (friction mount package), into the round hole of the cradle (1450LMT package), I folded a sweat sock, set it on the floor, placed the round hole of the cradle on it with that hole facing me, then pushed in the J shaped connector. Snapped in fine. I'm a woman, so the sock proved better than a towel ... easier to sit the sock directly under the cradle's hole, and thus apply pressure (I knelt on the floor for better leverage.)

I would suggest purchasing another brand. My 560LMT was not "Truck Friendly"... If I desired to become a Garmin 560LMT GPS expert I could have made it perform better. I'd rather buy a unit that requires me to put it in the cab, plug in the power, put in my waypoints and go... The 560LMT doesn't do that, but it will after A LOT OF twiddleing with it... JMO

Can you tell if the nut insert is moving when you try to install the ball mount? If you were able to removed the allen head bolt with ease. I would think the threads are not strip out.

I used it with Garmin Nuvi 360. I don't know about Nuvi 1450. If it's using the same Mount, then it should work but not sure.

You need to use the clip that came with your garmin. Clip that adapter to the back of the garmin and this bean bag holder ball mount clicks into that adapter.

I agree with the previous answer. It works in my 1450 but I don't know if it fits all Garmin models.

I mounted mine on a HD Ultra Glide with no problems. I love this mount, secure and easy to use. I rode to TN and listens to Sirius and used my GPS all the way. Bob

If your bracket that goes on the back of the Garmin has a ball and socket design it should be fine. This is a seven inch Garmin?

I don't know, it worked well on my Model 1450. I would assume if your GPS has a slot for a Micro SDHC that it would work. The best bet would be to call or email Garmin for the answer.

As it comes from Amazon, it will not work with the 3590lmt. But if you have the mount that does fit the 3590, you can pop off the GPS bracket for the 3590 and mount it on the EasyBlade mount. The mounts pop off at the ball swivel very easily. Hope this helps you.

Thanks so much for your advice! I drove myself nuts for several days trying to figure out how to attach the nuvi to the mount and your method plus a consumer-posted photo of the friction mount on Amazon finally did the trick. Garmin should be ashamed of itself for not providing directions.

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

Although I recently bought one of these cases and it works well with my Garmin, I know nothing about Tom Tom units.Why don't you just measure your GPS unit and compare it with the measurements given for the Bracketron?

If the bracket that snaps onto the actual unit has a ball hole for the factory suction cup mount, it should. I don't think Garmin has changed that part design for any of the newer NUVI models. Check the Garmin website as I did. Their OEM accessory mounts do not appear to have changed in regards to the size of the ball mount that I can tell. So I would say you should be alright. I think the only reason your model is not listed is that it is one of the newest ones out. You could also probably ask the seller the question which would then make him responsible if there is a fitment issue after purchase.

The power cord plugs into the mount/speaker portion of the bracket. So the speaker technically is powered by the cord, not the 3590LMT. If you use the 3590LMT out of the mount, the GPS has its own speaker. The speaker on the mount is larger and louder than the GPS on board speaker. The on board speaker is silent when the GPS in mounted.

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

I've had the ball/socket come loose after rotating from landscape to portrait a number of times. I've been able to re-tighten it on the back side of the mount with a flathead screwdriver, coin, or standard house key. I did have to take it out of the CD player, as it is much easier to be facing the back side than try to mess with it in a limited space. Hope this helps.
