I've made mine but it's model specific (Garmin 60 series). Made from Zn coated strong 2mm steel, cut with laser and bended some corners. Locking mechanism is done by use of belt clip.
Which model is yours, some pics?
Anyway the simplest mount I’ve seen is made of timber slab, plastic bottle and rubber. A special cup is made from the first two ones and the rubber straps hold the unit in place from top. Very stylish
