I have a Garmin III+ that I mount to my BMW R1100R with a RAM mount. I think the RAM mounts are about as bulletproof as they come. www.ram-mount.com They make a mount for about anything. Their suction cup mount is great in a car. Most of the components in their mounts is made of aluminum instead of plastic, VERY durable. About the only plastic parts are the actual cradle around the GPS and the hard rubber coating on the balls. (as in ball and socket)

If you can get the smaller plug and have an existing GPS power cable for regular size socket then you could cut off the large one and connect the smaller to the wires. You could even splice the smaller plug onto the cable as is without removing the other. That way you can use it for both bike and car. I'm not familiar with BMW electrics. You would have to make sure that the bike is a "negative" ground like most cars are. They may have it as a "positive" ground and without knowing what you are doing could possibly damage the GPS. A standard voltmeter would tell you what you need to know. The bike shop where you get service would point you in the right direction. [This message has been edited by Olar (edited 27 June 2001).]

i would like to connect my emap to my motorcycle. its a BMW R1150RT, the BMW's have a 12 volt power socket but its not the same as the ones you would find in a car its slightly smaller. (John Deere also uses these smaller plugs) my problem is does anyone know of a power cable made for these smaller plugs or a convert cable . or something.. im no electronics guy so i dont think i could make this myself. i can buy the special connector but i wouldnt know how to setup the electronics to give my emap the volts it needs, ive seen schematics but it confuses the hell outa me. anyone can help me out??

They lost the tail in some residential area near Chestnut Hill Road. Big black SUV? Probably Dean Kamen's Humvee. The small vehicle could have been 'Ginger', i.e. It, out for a road test. (FWIW, BMW's Joe English cache is at the foot of Chestnut Hill. Great cache. Unexploded ordnance and Erethizon Dorsatum: What more could a cache seeker want?)
