Yes it does, but be warned the mount isn't fit for purpose - it isn't very flexible in positoning allowing it to view the road ahead (it's purpose)
Basically don't work in my car in any of the locations suitable for me so I will be selling mine. Disappointed
Also find the screen not as vibrant as the Nuvi 2699 - and I don't understand why, as it belongs to their premium range _________________ TomTom Go Live 6100, 600

Yes while I was concerned before buying, it was worse than expected
The cam could do with being at least at the top of the device and the mount is (unbelievably) lower in position than the normal Garmin mount, so any "bumps" in the dashboard (as on many cars thesedays for displays, etc.) and no chance of a dash mount, and the width of the unit with close proximity to the mount means a fixed side wing window position is also out of the question. So only allows windscreen mounting. Don't like this position because of access, but accepted it - but pops of my screen regularly because the mount and the angle of the screen means the unit is pushed tight against the glass _________________ TomTom Go Live 6100, 600

Definitely - although I do like the magnetics, just designed by someone who probably has never tried using it!
I thought and accepted the traffic cable was external because it would be a very slim design (like the 3598) which for some would be an acceptable trade-off, but it's not - its quite large and heavy (well made though, it seems)
So I would wait until v2 - or buy my one off me _________________ TomTom Go Live 6100, 600

I've the same issue with my nuviCam. I use the air vent mount which was perfect for my 3598 but the low position of the camera means my nuviCam can only "see" about 1/5 of the road and the rest is the dashboard. This means the two "new" functions are useless as there isn't enough road for it to trigger an alert Being such a large unit mounting on Top of the dash would be more obstructive than helpful. I just use mine as a straight forward sat nav _________________ DriveLuxe 51 LMT D - Firmware 6.70

I've got mine on the windscreen, right hand side. My dashboard is so vast and nothing sticks to it, don't really have a choice. In this position it works well.
Bit of an annoyance trying to make sure its aligned as the mount moves everytime you attach the device.
I do have a couple of gripes. I hate the warning screen at start up, I hate the notice to tell me to use voice control at start up - every-time
I don't seem to get any school zone warnings either.
