garmin rino gps mount

[cookn]

here is a couple pic of how mine is set up.
As far as the battery, i have the 530 and i have it set to track in high detail where we go throughout the entire day and it can go the entire weekend without being charged (its not super cold in revy). As for the cost of a ram mount, if you have paid hundreds of dollers for a gps, $40 far a good safe mount is cheep insurance. I would also suggest purchasing topographic canada to see different elevations. This has helped us find new places to ride.

that set-up looks good, I will be going to the store tomorrow.

I used Sledn's idea of sponge pucks to isolate the RAM mounts. Doesn't eliminate the vibration completely but is significantly less than direct mounting.

Here is how I have mine mounted on my 2010 and my sons 2005

do the ram mounts just snap in to the cradle or are they screwed at the back
like my garmin cradle?

i have had my 60csx and my 530 mounted with a ram mount like SPIKE did on his, i have rolled it done everything with it never had a problem with the ram mount, keeps it tucked away yet visable, glad to see that we are getting so many people useing the rino radio, i got both of mine out of the US so they would have the extra power, i have not used the text feture i will look at that today, great way to send a message

just bought the ram mount. you have to buy 4 items to get all the pieces
and cost 60 bucks. Looks like it should work good. will post some pics after
I get it mounted

cats meow baby. this thing is awsome compared to the garmin mount.
I can keep it tucked down and still see it or raise it up if I'm completely
lost or fogged in. Thanks guys for your input I am glad I went with the ram mount:d:d:d

that is a ram mount, I think I will return the one I got and pick-up a ram.
Look stronger and I will figure out a better place to mount

The cradle mount is very sturdy. Rolled my Turbo down the heli pad at west ridge and it outlasted a boost Gauge! Try to get it lower down, but having it up on the bars makes it easier for tracking trail when the fog rolls in and then remove when not needed.
