None, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for ideas later.

dude... seriously check the ram mounts I linked above... the mount for PDA's should work

This might sound stupid but the windshield mount is in two pieces you could take the part that actually mounts to the unit and velcro it to your tach. Then the unit would be in plain sight and shielded from the sun,which was my biggest problem using the unit in a tankbag. Remember,even if this blocks your speedo,the unit displays mph so you'd be ok. Ofcourse,when your trip is over you can just peel the velcro away or you could always drop $60 or so and buy a mc mount..... I'm glad you like the unit btw!

Sheilded from the sun? Yeah, not on my bike... no windyscreeny...

And Ebbs, those Ram Mounts are nice, but I think I can make something that will work just as well, if not better...

Mio 320. Seriously, it's very basic, but has a lot of the features the higher dollar ones have... $200 beans ain't bad either... If you don't have a Radio Shack card you can get another 10% off when you open one...

Plus they offer a replacement warranty....just in case you bounce it or it gets wet,etc..

Think i'm gonna pick up the Quest 2 for the bike


Have a SP 2610 in the truck and a Su...whatever... 530 in her car.

I really want to get one for my car at some point. Why don't you just use the same GPS and have mounts on both? Just for plugging in, because I'm sure you could rig up an auxilary to plug it into instead of hardwiring.

you can do that.

my $0.02 get something that's available for use on motorcycles and just get a beanbag/suction cup mount for your cager.


Saves ya $$$ in the longrun on hardware and software upgrades.

I have the Garmin Nuvi 260 and it works great, but I only use it in the cage. I don't see me ever putting it on my bike.

I have the Nuvi 700 series, just took a weekend trip on the scoot and it worked great. I have a trickle charger connection hooked up to the battery, so I got an sae to cigar adapter to power the Nuvi mounted in my RAM mount. No vibrtion issues, had a ziplock baggie and some zipties in case it rained. However RAM now has a nice waterproof box for the Nuvi's that work with the touch screen.

I had no problem with using the touch screen with my gloves. A little issues with shading it, but because I had it hardwired, I could turn the back light up.

I have it mounted off my bars just below my speedo so I can still see my tach. It was great for unriden back roads and knowing when tight corners were approaching.

The 700 series is nice cause you can store several trips to it in memory.
