The unit ships with the bean bag mount and a extra quick release mount
with adhesive backing.
Bean bag's been my choice thus far. I find it's quite stable sitting on
the dash or on the seat. Bag fits just about any contour you're likely
to set it on and the base is a non-skid, soft foam material that keeps
it in place even when taking corners at speed.
In the first car I used it in, I had a stalk mounted on the side of the
center console (made for cellular phone handset) and just affixed the
extra quick release to it. Worked great for adjusting the angle for
optimum viewing.
I purchased the optional hardwire connectors so as to avoid using the
cigarette lighter plug. Also picked up and mounted a good external
antenna for mine.
Haven't moved this from my old Buick to the Accord yet but will do so
shortly. Using the external antenna I was able to just set the GPS on
the hump under the dash. While not the best angle of view (in the dash
would be nice) it was pretty good. The 2610 comes with a IR remote
control allowing me to manage all functions without bending over to
actually touch the unit.
