newbie question about car mount

Dear Pocket GPS peeps,

I posted this question on a different TTG forum and got a really unhelpful reply back. hopefully you guys can be a bit more constructive :-)

I have just bought a ttg 700 online, it will take about 3 days to arrive. I have a new mini and would like to mount the TTG in my car as per the photo below:

From the tomtom go website it looks like this mounting doesnt actually come supplied with the 700. Is this is case? if so, can you let me know what i need to buy in order to mount the TTG as in the picture above - if i need to buy extra stuff i want to do it now, rather than waiting for TTG to arrive first.

cheers!

Hi Meccleshall,

Could you tell us what the tomtom is hiding as i don't know layout of mini as i drive a c-max.would it be an air vent ? looking at picture it looks like the proper fitting for bottom of tomtom.

Have they stuck the mount suppiled with tomtom to the glass around the driving display

Might be one of these.

Hi

Looks like you need a Vent mount. No it doesn't come with the GO - you'll get the window (sucker) mount.

The Brodit mentioned above is probably your best bet as TomTom don't seem to make one.

Hope this helps

Meccleshall,
AS you have the 700 and I guess you require the hands free facility, therefore there are 2 mounts available.
Brodit Mount------- 215027 approx £19.99 + P&P
Tom Tom Go Alternative mount bracket approx £7 + P&P

Guess which one I went for?
BTW The TT mount is also included in the Alternative mounting kit approx £13 +P&P

Hope this is of help to you

John

Actually, aside from TomTom's standard and alternative mount, Brodit have three:

215027

215038

215039

And I still rate Brodit as a better solution ;)

The 215038 does not support the Hands free
I dont think the windscreen mount on the 700 is compatable with the 215039.

I stand corrected, my sincere apologies, but you said it was crap anyway.
