A simple design and works very well, is light and simple to install and use. It is possible to adjust the angle while cycling - needed due to the poor screen readability in bright light with the Oregon.
The only down side is the very high cost for a small and simple bit of plastic that I guess only cost a few pennies to make. Its a shame Garmin does not just bundle this with each Oregon (which are not cheap or budget end devices) and make the customers happy with Garmin rather than extracting a massive profit on every small optional extra.

This holder seems to be the only one available for my Dakota 20 and yet it is poorly designed although it works. You attach the holder/bracket to the bike handlebar using two plastic ties (four are included). This is the only mount that I have ever used utilising plastic ties; Not exactly a safe way to secure a gizmo worth over £200 to a moving bicycle! Once you attach the bracket the only way to use it on another bike is to cut the ties and use new ties. This is a design flaw! I have two bikes and I sometimes would like my wife to use my GPS. That means I'll have to spend more cash when I should be able to simply move the mount from bike to bike. Using the bracket works in the short term (i.e. feels secure) but of course the ties get loose with time and will need tightening; Not an easy task if you've cut the ties short (which you'd need to if you don't want long tails hanging off your handlebar). And for what you get - which is not much - it is seriously overpriced. A classic case of paying 'over the odds' for an item because there's no other choice!

The first thing that struck me when i took the mount from its package was just how little there is of it. As viewable in the product image, it really is a very small piece of plastic for such a valuable item as a GPS unit.
At first i was nervous of using it, but the weeks of trial its had so far have put my mind at rest. An example of excellent design and engineering my Dakota (mount also compatible with the Colorado and Oregon) clips straight on sitting on top of the mount with no lateral play or rattling. So firm is its grip it took me a worrying few minutes to work out that to remove the GPS, you just have to push the bottom of the mount downwards and slide the GPS back up, a process so easy you can do it with one hand.
I have it attached to a folding bike with small wheels and no shock absorbers, so it does take some fair pounding at times over potholes, cobbles and curbs with no complaints. The mount fixes with grip-ties which thankfully fit to any tube - my folder has very small tubes and i have experienced issues fitting bike lights to the frame but i had no such trouble here. The foot of the unit is square, with rounded tube indentations to fit snug. At about 3cm a side, I'd say that it would likely fit tight to square tubing larger than that, and smaller at an angle due to the indentations for round tubes.
Although costly for the small item it is, its design is sound it does its job well.
