I rest my 1350 on the sand bag with the antislip mat; it is not from Garmin and I bought it from the computer stational store for the wrist rest. it is a cheap DIY and a very mount.

If not mistaken, the original Garmin suction cup mount cost more than RM 100, what a rip-off!!!

So instead of getting a new one, you may "recycle" your spoilt suction cup just like what I did in the photos, believe me, it works!! I have been using my suction cup this way for quite a while ...

Tips : (i)The bottom part of the holder rest on the dashboard (ii) the top part of the holder press against the windscreen (iii) position the rubber base so that it works as a "supporting leg" resting on the dashboard...

hve put a velcro tape on the suction mount and the other side on the dashboard.
advantage - can just take off the mount/gps and put in another car with velcro.

u can also use this dashboard mount, but u need a flat surface.
it is actually the same as the attached picture, just that it comes without the base.
