I came across a product that I am really pleased with and thought I would share my experience. The product is a Ram Mount for my older model Magellan hand held GPS.

My dilemma was i wanted to be able to mount my GPS to my bicycle in a solid way to provide navigation as I cruise some of the lesser know by-ways and towns. I also wanted something that would be solid as to not shake, adjustable and be easily removable for when it was not needed.

The Ram Mount product has been fantastic. They are modular so purchased a U-Bolt mount for my bicycle handlebar and suction mount for my car. The GPS cradle and the adjustment stem make up the other two parts and easily transfer between the bike to car. The adjustment stem operates with a single knob and tightens the mount in any position desired and all the parts are powder coated aluminum.

The suction cup base for the car will lock to any flat surface with a twist and keeps very still. I have a car mount already but the unit shakes a bit and makes noise…not so with the Ram Mount.

Ram Mount makes similar mounts for Cell Phones, Laptops, fishing poles, cup holders,  almost anything…

I road tested it this weekend on a 23 mile ride over smooth and pothole terrain and I couldn’t be happier.
