My beanbag didn't come with a clamp to go with the GPS, therefore how would I attach my GSP to the ball on the beanbag? I am baffled.

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!

If you have the Garmin Nuvi gps then just attached the gps to the ball. If you have other brand name gps then the beanbag will not work. call the seller asking them to send you the missing clamp. hope this help.

Broke my clamp after a couple of months, used duck tape to hold it in place permanently.

Wondering what you are asking me? We bought this bracket listed and it does not fit our Garmin. I am frustrated now since I do not have a bracket at all! I want to get another one. Are you saying that you have a bracket that will fit our Garmin?

Got the same problem. I put the GPS unit under the little ball on the curved arm, but the bottom of GPS has nothing to hold in place and when moved it easily slips out. Cannot figure out how to use this bean bag base with this unit with curved piece with ball on it??????

You are in luck! I was at home and saw your question come up :) For my own curiosity, I actually went out to my car and brought it in and measured the opening. The spring loaded grab opens up to almost 3 1/2 inches. I haven't used the Garmin GPS lately but 3 1/2 inches seems to be pretty wide. The grab can rotate completely so I would think this will work for your GPS device as well.

yes .... the base of the hook that connects to the GPS will fit a Garmin beanbagJim

try searching on NAVMAT... works well. Also, Bracketron has a cupholder mount that is very nice. Available at BestBuy

It should work fine. This mount is really a grip sandbag with a disk attached for mounting the GPS into. You simply attach your vacuum mount attached to your GPS to this disk. I cannot imagine these mountings would be different sizes. Just in case, I measured mine. It is 2.5 inches diameter. Yours should probably be the same. The mount on the sandbag measures 3.5 X 4 inches. Plenty of extra room. It works very well. It doesn't slide at all. An added convenience is if you are in a place where you do not wish people to see your GPS you can just slide the whole affair under the seat. No need to even disengage. I hope this helps.

HI. I'm a consumer who purchased this last winter. Yes, the picture is wrong. It does not include the GPS holder as you say. With all the models out their, one purchases that separately. However, it does include all the other mounting hardware including the ball. Although expensive, it works much better than the cheaper mount I had before. I can manipulate the direction much easier with this one.

Yes. I remember thinking mine did not have it either, but then I discovered a small cable clamp. I just can't remember where it was, if it was already attached farther down the cable, or where. We added a second one as a "stop" to keep the dog from being able to reach past a certain point. If you don't have a clamp in the package, you can probably get a new package. OR you can buy cable clamps for cheap at a hardware store. Just take your cable in so you can for sure get the right size.

I'm sorry but I already recycled the box which came without any instruction sheet. There was no specific helmet mount but there were a couple of inserts that fit inside the clamp to make it fit around smaller objects. I could not see an obvious way to attach it to a helmet.

This one works very well and is very well made:Garmin Beanbag for Portable Friction Mount for Garmin GPS Units (Beanbag Only - Mount not Included)

There is an extra piece that isn't something I needed to use. I enlarged the picture and put it together from that and it works great. You need to slide the arms of it to adjust the the GPS to fit. I hope this helps you. Thanks so much!!

The friction mount comes with the standard Garmin ball connector. If you have the adapter that connects to this (like the suction mount that came with the GPS) you just use it for the friction mount. Otherwise you will have to purchase an adapter.

This mount is a suction cup type device for smooth surfaces. It is not made to use with a beanbag or sticky pad. The long arm is adjustable and will accommodate different angled smooth surfaces such as a window or dashboard display. Also,the suction cup is somewhat larger than the Garmin OEM suction mount so it stays attached much better.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

Should be wrap in plastic bag inside inside the package. It could be under the cardboard display that the GPS is sitting on.

You need a RAM Mount. This consists of a handlebar clamp with a ball on it, an articulating RAM "arm" that attaches to the ball on the clamp (I have the shortest 1.75" arm) and a ball mount bolted on to the back of the GPS mount. My GPS mount is on a BMW GS, which has a Canbus electrical system, so I have the GPS connected to the battery via a Centech AP-1 fuse box.
