Vehicle Installation
The StreetPilot 2610/2650 is portable, allowing you to easily carry the unit from vehicle to vehicle or take
it with you once you reach your destination. A permanent
dash mount
(consisting of a mounting base and
adhesive pads) is included with the StreetPilot. Also included is a
non-skid friction mount
which is designed
for convenient temporary mounting for your StreetPilot. When mounting your StreetPilot, keep in mind
the following safety warnings:
WARNING:
For use in vehicles, it is the sole respon-
sibility of the owner/operator to place and secure
the StreetPilot so that is does not interfere with
the vehicle operating controls and safety devices,
obstruct the driver’s view of driving conditions, or
cause damage or personal injury in the event of an
accident. Do not place the mounting bracket over
airbag panels or in the field of airbag deployment.
Airbags expand with a rapid fire force that can
propel objects in their paths toward the driver or
passengers, causing possible injury. Refer to airbag
safety precautions contained in the vehicle’s owner’s
manual. Do not place the mounting bracket where
the driver or passengers are likely to impact it in an
accident or collision. The mounting hardware pro-
vided by Garmin is not warranted against collision
damage or the consequences thereof.
Do not mount over
airbag panels
Do not mount where the
driver’s field of vision is
blocked
Do not place unse-
cured on the vehicle
dash
Do not mount in front of an
airbag field of deployment
Select a suitable location for installation that allows routing of an external power cord and/or antenna cable
(if needed) to the StreetPilot. If you are NOT using a remote antenna, be certain to select a location where
the StreetPilot’s antenna has a relatively unobstructed view of the sky.
Note:
An optional external remote antenna (Garmin
GA 27C) may be needed when operating the unit in
a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen
heating system which can block the GPS signals.
