CharlieZulu Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Folks, any advice on a decent bike mount for the GPS 60? Prefer to shop in Canada, mail order OK. Chris (CZ) Quote Link to comment
+Binrat Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Think RAM Mount, and easily moves to your car if you get the right set-up. http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/60cxaccessories.htm Binrat Quote Link to comment
+ElectroQTed Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hey Chris, I use the Garmin bike mount and it seems pretty solid. The main body is the same as the auto mount and you can snap it in and out from one to the other. If you have the auto mount, you can just buy the part that clamps onto the handlebar.

I use the same setup. Never had a problem with it. Quote Link to comment
+Tequila Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have the Garmin version and it works perfect. As I recall, it was not very expensive. One warning. Make sure you tie the lanyard to the handle bars just in case you drop it. C Quote Link to comment
CharlieZulu Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks a lot guys. Item is back ordered, but no hurry. Tks again. Quote Link to comment
+M3J Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have the same one from Garmin...never a problem. It seems to be in stock at GPS Central... http://www.gpscentral.ca/accessories/hbar60.htm Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 One warning. Make sure you tie the lanyard to the handle bars just in case you drop it. Ooo, belt and suspenders! Wouldn't that make it swing into something hard and metal, instead of just going thud on the soft ground? Or maybe get caught in rotating machinery? I have the Garmin mount too. First thing I managed to do was break it. While attaching it to the bike, I dropped it to the ground, and it cracked at the very top - the little loop of plastic that hooks around the "button" on the GPS. I reinforced that with a loop of wire, and it's been great ever since. PS: my avatar pic was shot on the handlebars. Very helpful fly, offering directions like that... Quote Link to comment
