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 Dash Mount consisting of a mounting base, required
hardware, and adhesive pads is included with the StreetPilot 2610/2650. You may choose to use the non-
skid friction mount, which is designed for convenient temporary mounting for your StreetPilot 2610/2650.
Installation should be performed with consideration for the following safety warnings:
WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsi-
bility of the owner/operator to place and secure the GPS
unit so that is does not interfere with the vehicle operat-
ing 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 fi eld of airbag
deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid fi re force
that can propel objects in their path towards the vehicle
driver or passengers causing possible injury. Refer to
airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle 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 provided by
Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the
consequences thereof.
Do not mount over
airbag panels
Do not mount where
driver’s fi eld of vision is
blocked
Do not place unse-
cured on the vehicle
dash
Do not mount in front of an
airbag fi eld of deployment
Select a suitable location for installation that allows routing of an external power cord and/or antenna
cable (if needed) to the GPS unit. If you are NOT using a remote antenna, be certain to select a location
where the GPS unit’s antenna has a relatively unobstructed view of the sky.
The StreepPilot 2650, with DR ( Dead Reckoning), continues to work as a GPS navigation unit (the
same as the StreetPilot 2610) without the DR cable attached. It is possible to use the StreetPilot 2650 as a
portable, non-DR unit in multiple vehicles, without the DR cable installed in those vehicles.
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.
