Bought as a spare cradle for my Garmin 1490, and it fits correctly, by snapping over the unit, just like the OEM bracket. It seems to hold tight on the ball mount, and will allow me to use in a different vehicle, and not keep dismounting the suction cup part from the windshield, when using in multiple vehicles.It was originally bought, because I forgot to take the OEM off the windshield of a car I was driving. I thought it was lost, but 2 weeks later after purchasing this as a replacement, I found it was still attached to the car's windshield when I went back to pick it up.
