1. This review was written for the Magellan Meridian Swivel Mount Bracket not the Magellan Swivel Mounting Bracket 701258. Use the Magellan Meridian Swivel Mount Bracket for the Magellan Meridian COLOR GPS.
   
   Got this Magellan Swivel Mount to use as a desktop cradle for my Meridian Color and it works perfectly.
   
   The Power/Data cable connects onto the mount from the back and automatically connects to the GPSR when the receiver is snapped into place. You'll appreciate this after a few tries at attaching the connector by using it's teeny-tiny anchor screw.
   
   Construction of the mount is sturdy and holds the receiver and connector securely. The mount is adjustable so that the GPSR screen is always in your line of sight either at eye level or from above (mounted on a horizontal surface) of from below (mounted on a wall). You will, however, have to provide your own Velcro or mounting screws since none comes with the unit.
   
   Overall, terrific functionality for just a few extra dollars.



2. I found this swivel mount bracket at Amazon for half
   the price of anywhere else I looked. Quality product,
   quality service, fast shipment. Always check Amazon
   when shopping!



3. The item was not as it was stated to be which was a disappointment for use in any vehicle.
   It does not have a suction cup mount.
   It must be fasten with screws.
   I made use of in one car.
   
   Do to not being sent what I ordered AS listed in desrciption.
   Most likely not buy another product.

4. The bracket works well enough but it s a little cumbersome having to remove the electrical connection to make the unit mobile. No biggy but it could be done in an easier way.



5. I'm now ordering my third one in three years. I use this on my boat, the first one rusted the spring out that is inside the catch release (I now spray it with silicone before and after each use). The second one shattered the plastic boss at the pivot thumbwheel adjustment point after running through some choppy conditions. I'm not impressed with it for marine usage, I understand that is probably the toughest environment I could use it in, but the product is listed for use on boats. Stainless steel hardware and reinforced mounting areas would be a good idea for marine use, however there doesn't seem to be any alternative to mount this unit on my boat, so it's either buy a different gps or keep buying these mounts.
