I want to mount a garmin GPS on my 700xx:xx: anybody done this.

 

[tbird88]

you can get a mount for handlebars at rockymountainatvmc.com. I may do this in the future too.

You'd get more replies if you post in the correct sections.

I've heard that mounting it to your habdlebars isn't good unless its really secured and has a way to soak up a lot of vibration.. I just bought a 60CSx and will mount it to my bar pad.. the foam will soak up the vibration, and some zip ties will do!

Make sure you put it in a waterproof case. Don't wanna get mud/water into your electronics.

Ceballos how do you like the 60CSx? I want to get a GPS but I dont know what one to get. I'm just looking for something that I can mark places on the GPS so I can find my way back next time.

I just got it a couple of days ago and got to use it today for the first time... the only thing that I don't like, is that for what I want to do, I have to buy software for it so I could be able to see the topography (all the trails, elevations, etc..)... but I'm not complaining.. I got a GREAT dea on it! Maybe Jeff will see this thread and chime in.. I just saw his today, and maybe he can post a picture...

That's what I had at first until I roll the bike and the GPS flew off the bike and broke the mount.

Topo Maps

Where are you guys getting your trail maps? Heres a site I found, looks like it has about everywhere around. And its all free d/load, they do take donations. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/

 

[ceballos]

Where are you guys getting your trail maps? http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/

nothing like making your own trails in the wide open desert! :xx:

 

[M_Quick]

Did you just use trails and wide open in the same sentence?

 

[ceballos]

don't know what you're getting at, but yes, i did!

 

[tchui]

i have a touratech and a ram, i think ram is a better buy, but either way a power cable is a must imo as it negates any vibration that would shut down the gps if powered by batteries alone
later this month i got to mount a road book holder, gps, trail tech dash unit and its remote.
will be adding a cross bar for the road book.
will post pics when im done and i hope i find a good set up.

I have a garmin 62s - love it. I'm getting a Ram Mount before my trip to TN.
