What GPS is it not compatable with, you say most.?

I can not answer very broadly. However, it should work on GPS units that have relatively flat back surfaces. I have a Garmin nuvi 750 and nuvi 50LM. The 50LM has a flat back with the power plug attachment on the righthand edge. It works fine the the air vent mount. The nuvi 750 has the ball socket mount on the back. The mount also includes the power cable connector. It is too fat to be held in the air vent mount. Since I did not plan to use the ball mount anymore, I ground it off with a stone wheel grinder so it is just the thickness necessary to connect the power. It now stays in the mount reasonably well. Good Luck. I can not answer very broadly. However, it should work on GPS units that have relatively flat back surfaces. I have a Garmin nuvi 750 and nuvi 50LM.

Unit is compatible with GPS up to set limits, I used it with a 4.3 Unit but do not believe it will hold a 5 inch or larger GPS. It also does not support a heavy unit.

I have only tried it with a Tom Tom and it worked OK. I don't know about any others.

I use the 5 inch GPS, Garmin and it holds on the vent with out any problems. It can be moved but stays put.Will not accommodate the Garmin 7 inch 2797 an way.

That's sad. I am shopping for a new gps, and that feature almost helped me make the decision.

We've had some trouble with that, too. We definitely preferred our old Garmin. Mostly it works, but there are some annoying bugs, too.

Check Garmin's website ,look under accessories they list which GPS is compatible with the mount.

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

I had that problem....spent a while day on the phone with a tech fron Magellan and ended up finding out the unit was faulty right out of the brand new box. Returned it and bought a Garmin Oregon and never looked back

I believe it is whether it has GPS or not. Which one I am not sure. On ordering, make sure the ad list it has GPS.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.

Thanks! I will check out the bad elf gps receiver, maybe it would be worthwhile for my ipod 4g.

I used GPS via Waze Application, most of all times works great, sometimes fail but if I switch to airplane mode and then switch back, works great!

Not this model. Search for Garmin bluetooth to find the models with that feature.

I can tell you. there is a Bluetooth symble. In.the Setting. But. I did. not try it. The. "builtin GPS is nothing more than Google Maps. So I. Wouldn't count on the Bluetooth being much different.

i dont know but with my old GPS II+ works perfectly!, i just installed the driver USB to serial contained in cd. Set the Interface GPS Garmin II+ to GRMN/GRMN. In my case i used Mapsource & all is ok.

Yes, go to "Settings". No, GPS will not continue work. So far, very happy with battery life.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Garmin uses AT&T; which I have. The problem was a lost satellite signal or only 2 that could get a fix.
