GPS vent mount in available in Canada?
I know of the website www.mountguys.com which sells vent mounts, but is there a Canadian version of the site? I checked FutureShop and BestBuy and they seem to only sell dash mounts.
Specifically, I'm looking for a vent mount for the nuvi 260W.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of a canadian version either... I ended up ordering from mountguys.com, easy and painless. I would recommend them.

I am looking for one also to be use with Nuvi 760. Windshield suction cup mount is good but I find it a bit far to reach. Air vent mount is perfect and is almost at eye level. Ebay has some but I don't know how is the quality. The second pic looks like a lockoff version of the GN047.

PS: Do you guys use screen protector? If yes, where did you buy yours and what brand?

What is AVIC?
Who cares if it is ugly or not if it is effective. The GPS is what you are looking at, not the mount.

I do. And I'm sure there are others that do as well. Things like an iPod sticking out, way out of place or GPS mounts all over the place are ghetto IMO. It's not so bad with GPS on older cars but on new cars where it's a factory option, particularly on luxury cars? Definitely ghetto.

I'm also looking for a Vent mount for the 760, if anyone ended up buying one can you tell me where or from which seller on ebay.
Are the vent mounts as solid as the Windsheild suction mount?

I got my GPS vent mount from mountguys.com , no duties , I also recommend them. You can also try to win their Ebay.com actions and get your mount dirt cheap. I kept getting sniped and just decided to order from the store.

Is yours made by Arkon model GN047? The reason I ask is because I see different version of it. When I ask the seller for a picture of it on their ebay store, he said it is not available. Does it comes assemble? How long was shipping from either mountguys.com or their ebay store? Do they ship USPS? Does it come in an envople or small parcel? What did they declare the description and value?

Did they discontinue the product already? I tried searching in the dealextreme.com site and couldn't find it.......
