I have this paired with a Nuvi 285WT, and have had no issues with it at all.
It isn’t as big as some seem to indicate it is, which had me a little worried until I actually received it.
The locking mechanism is a little odd in 2 ways:
1) It really only prevents the mounting arm from rotating in the base, doesn’t prevent the GPS from being turned/moved on the arm.
2) You only need to move the latch/handle part of the lock some of the way in the lock slot to lock the arm. There is about another inch of slot that you could try to push the latch into, but since it won’t actually move further, and because the latch has a bit of “give”, there is a good chance that you will snap the latch/handle off. Basically, the locking slot is bigger than it needs to be and is misleading. I almost found this out the hard way…

While this would fit in either the glovebox or the center console in my car, due to other things filling them up pretty much to the max already, I opted to put this under the seat when not in use. The only thing is that I decided to put it in a plastic baggie before doing so because I have a suspicion that the base might end up picking up dust/dirt/crud from the floor and over time losing some of it’s non-slip qualities.

Highly recommended for any GPS that will fit it, although I am suspicious that the locking latch may easily break if stressed beyond where it should be.
POPATU Pink Fairy Trolley

I bought this one for my wife for her birthday. I have to say it is the best in every single way. I also bought two similar none brand players for my two kids. those are ok for kids but are nothing like THE iPod. I am simply amazed by its quality and functionality. It is worth every penny. Buy with no second thought. Trust me!!!
I am not an official Apple fan and will buy the new iPad on April 5th.
Columbus Shakespeare and the

This film is like a step back in time. The background of a culture lost is a belivable setting for a great adventure and love story. The music is lively cajun style and the terrific camera work puts you right in the middle of things. Robert Redford had his hand in making a film of a tale that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I have so many memory cards and I’ve never had one problem. We have them in 3 cell phones, GPS, 4 Cameras (Digital SLR to pocket cameras), camcorders, digital picture frames and I am sure there are a few more I am not thinking of. This is my third “class 6″ card and like all of the others it works great. I bought this card for a new Panasonic Lumix camera. The price was the best anywhere (by far), the shipping was fast, etc., etc., etc. 100% satisfied with Amazon, Transcend, the seller and the card.

My husband and I have enjoyed this so much. Every day we have a bowling match. He has not done the tennis yet.

The Help was one of those books you don’t want to put down, and you are sad when it’s over. I hope they make this novel into a movie! The book made me laugh and it made me cry. I would recommend it to everyone I know!
Lovelier In Black

This software was an update for me, since I had been using the 2003 version for a few years. It was an easy adjustment, and seamlessly transferred the information over from the previous version. I have only been using for about 1 week so far, and my only complaint is the time it takes to load, and especially to back up the file, compared to the 2003 version.
QuickBooks Pro 2007 Small

Received the unit on time. Gave this as a gift to my daughter. She said that it was very easy to use.
Our Country in Peace

When I first picked this up I was skeptical I would enjoy it. It only took about 5 pages when I was totally taken. The story is excellent and I was sad when I had to put it down! I finished this it two days on a business trip. This is a great read and a beautiful story! Totally recommended!
