 |
|
anyone else notice the nuvi 'vibrates when driving?
i have tried both the windscreen sucker AND a solid fixed mount and both are the same!
can only assume there is a slight misfit between the cradle and unit |

My 50 is also rock-solid.
Is it the ball joint or the device to bracket ?

Tried a mates nuvi 40 and solid. Tred mine with his mount and vibrates.
So either ball socket or cradle to nuvi. Tried tape on both parts but no difference.
Could be characteristic of particular unit or fault. Will return and try another |
