I didn’t specify and mine arrived with the motorcycle mount. No car mount was included.

I thought the mount for the Montana was pretty rugged and felt the same for many months on the Tenere till one day. The GPS was gone....I had some initial concerns about the strength of the Garmin mount, and was even trying to design a tether that didn't require me to glue anything to the Zumo's housing. After about four months of riding with it, I'm not worried about the mount any more.
I decided to revisit the whole retention issue. I don't want to use a tether. One reason is that I don't want to stick anything to the Zumo, and another is that, even with a tether attached, the Zumo would still be free to flop around and get damaged if it broke free from the mount, especially on some of the awful gravel roads I ride on. I'm on my fifth version of a clamping mount that'll both incorporate the Garmin powered mount and an additional clamping system that'll hold onto the Zumo and keep it from moving if the mount fails. So far, I haven't come up with a workable design...yet.I thought the mount for the Montana was pretty rugged and felt the same for many months on the Tenere till one day. The GPS was gone.
My son and I made a 3D printed mount for the Triumph Tiger and it has a simple velcro leash. (not visible here)
From a shock absorbsion point of view probably best place for it.Bought $8 bolt and Ram ball off eBay , it replaces the right front handlebar clamp bolt, Zumo XT nicely mounts to the Ram ball, been using it like that for over 100,000 miles without any problems.

On the very rare occasion that I mess with the GPS while riding it’s nice to be able to rest my hand on tankbag while typing.From a shock absorbsion point of view probably best place for it.
