I installed my Nuvi 510 on Yamaha FJR1300 with RAM mount; it works perfectly. Go ahead with RAM, they have plenty of hardware and attachments to find out the best solution for your bike. Pierluigi

I had a GPS60 and a GPSMap60CSX.... the difference is huge. In many trails, in the wood or in a narrow valley, it's the same difference of having a GPS or not having it at all.

GPSMap60CSX has the SiRFStarIII - Colorado has, as far as I know, the MTK MT3318 After one month of tests I can only say that the first is definetely better for speed and sensitivity. Perhaps it's just a problem of my unit, but other threads seem to confirm it.

I can understand and accept any kind of issues regarding menu, interface etc. I can't accept poor performances in the most important aspect of a GPS: GPS reliability and precision. I can't accept to switch from a very good chipset (SirfStar) to a lower quality one, probably just because is less expensive

I bought a Colorado 300 (after a GPSmap60CSX) and, after a month of study and field tests I definitively had to accept the fact that the gps performaces are lower: - longer time to acquire satellites (extremely long if the unit has been switched off for some days) - larger position error, that seems to improve only after a 20-25 minutes under open sky - poorer reception in difficult situation. I am convinced that this is due to the new chipset, while SirfStar performances where absolutely outstanding, and I found really unacceptable that for a costs driven decision Garmin launch a new product (more expensive) with poorer performances. I can only hope that the problems can be solved with new firmware
