dunmappin Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I have found what I believe to be a wholly satisfatcory outcome to my many searches for a suitable car air vent mount to hold my Garmin Legend HCx, which I should like to share. I discovered the range of Herbert Richter German-made holders and car air vent mounts that are primarily for PDAs and mobile 'phones. The arrangement I chose is in two parts: 1. The holder. There are various models to choose from. I settled on Mini Gripper 3, model number 1230. It is perfect for the Legend: the back support of the holder at 90 millimetres long stops conveniently short of the USB connector port on the back of the Legend; with the feet of the holder moved from one end to the other, all side buttons of the Legend are unhindered by the side grips of the holder 2. The car air vent mount. My choice was the swivel mount, model number 1546. The two parts fit clip to gether so easily and the resulting unit fits very neatly and unobtrusively to the car air vent. I cannot praise the ingenuity and workmanship of these items too highly. I should be most happy to provide further information to anyone who is interested. Finally, a piece of advice for UK purchasers: search thoroughly for these items - there are wide-ranging prices. I have tried unsuccessfully to display images of the setup in my car, even with the help of 'Adding a Picture to a Forum Post'. I should appreciate what further assistance anyone can offer.
