| GLEN'S NEW F800ST BMW |
|
|
I use a SPOT for my off road bike, I use a GPS for my highway bike. So when I traided my old 1200 BMW for a new 800 I made it so I could take the SPOT off the trail bike and put it on the highway bike at the turn of a RAM screw. I control the two of them with my free hand and can still see speed, tach, GPS & SPOT at a glance. |

| ARCTIC MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURE |
Crossing the Arctic Circle on the way north. |
Note the latitude |
just north of Inuvik. |
The weather closed in a little for the trip back. |
Some parts of the road got pretty sloppy. | |
|
During the summer of 2008 I took a 14,000 mile motorcycle ride from Florida to Alaska, as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, and back. The trip lasted fifty-two days, but the memories will last a lifetime!
The photos were taken along the Dempster Highway, which is the only road to Inuvik, NWT, north of the Arctic Circle. The weather on the way up was wonderful; however, the weather before and during the return trip turned much of the "highway" into a motorcycle mudbath!
Note the latitude in the closeup of my Garmin StreetPilot 2610. That photo was taken north of Inuvik, at the northernmost point of the trip. I use a RAM Mount to attach the GPS to the bike, and the mount and GPS worked well throughout the trip, and they still do today. |

| A TWO-FER |
RAM Mounts = Angles |
Everything seen |
everything within reach. | | | |
|
Doing a lot of long distance runs, I needed good directions and tunes at my fingertips. The Goldwing already comes with LOTS at your fingertips so I needed to find a way around it all. I also wanted the XM receiver and Garmin on the same side but clear of the controls already on the handlebar. As these pictures show, The Ram Mount System accomplished it all.
The Pioneer Inno receiver it's XM signals with it's built in antenna because the mount allows it a clear shot to the sky although mounted close to the GPSMAP 276c. It's all about angles and that is what make RAM Mounts great!
Yes, two of the photos were take by me, at speed, but I'm not crazy. Clear straight New Mexico roads and a sidecar greatly reduced the danger. But don't try it at home! |

| A HANDY TOOL TO HAVE |
|
|
I own a Garmin Gps, and I have to say I am very pleased with the options it provides, and how accurate it is. I have learned to use the many options it has, and have found places that I never knew existed but definitely worth the trip to see the place.
Just recently I was out and about looking for a new campsite to try out,...found a couple online to go look at, but when I got in the area of the great lakes, I decided to try my gps, and thanks to my Garmin, I was able to check out 4 different campsites I never knew were there.
I would definitely recommend a GPS to everyone - it seems to be a tool needed nowadays.
My husband and I also take it on hikes with us, as it has a feature to change to walking pace as well. Very handy to have and we will never get lost again.

| SPOT RAM MOUNT IMPROVEMENT |
SPoT With Nylon Tie Locking Method |
Spot Tether Location |
Tether Hooked to Mirror Stalk | | | |
|
The SPoT unit is wonderful - gives you and your loved ones a lot of peace of mind if you're off the beaten path. Even more useful than a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon), in my opinion.
If you're on a motorcycle, you need some way of mounting it and the RAM mount is one of the best! But if you're in an accident, the last thing you want is to have the SPoT part company with you so this suggestion will prevent that.
I read of an unlucky biker whose SPoT flew out of the RAM mount when he had an accident and it ended up 50' further down the road. He was able to retrieve it and he/it were ok, so it was not the end of the world for him but this might be a good idea if you do use the RAM mount.
Put a nylon tie through the clip location on the mount and wrap it around the RAM mount and SPoT. If you do this, it will also prevent those with sticky fingers from walking away with the unit.
I also use a tether strap from the SPoT to a mirror stalk in case the mount comes loose.
I love my SPoT, and the RAM mount makes it perfect! See the photo for details. |

I've bought several items from GPS City and been very pleased with service and delivery. My Garmin 2730 goes from my Goldwing to Trailblazer in seconds. My riders group does the Virginia Grand tours and we see parts of Virginia that no one normally sees. |

| RAM MOUNT ON MY 05 GOLDWING |

The Ram mount is so easy to install I let my 13 year old mount it for me. My wife can use the remote to navagate and get info on were she can stop to pee again, from this position and we can both see it well. |

| MOUNTING A GARMIN SP7200 IN MY MOTORHOME |
Dash Board Showing GPS Mounted |
Close-up of the GPS and Mount |
List of Parts I Used | | | |
|
I mounted a Garmin SreetPilot 7200 in my motor home for a LOT less money than I'd have had to pay to have one installed by the factory. Instead of the Garmin stock mount, I mounted it on the face of the dash using a Ram Mount with two ball joints. I purchased the parts from Expressmounts.com.
The SP7200 is a great GPS mapping system that is large, easy to see and intuitive to use. And it comes loaded with features. This model also plays Audible Books, MP3 music, and even XM radio. You can plug in an SD card to store a vast amount of music, audio books, and POI's. I wired the audio lead into the Aux #2 input of the dash Magnadyne Radio. The 12v lead is wired to the dash radio switch so that it works with the ignition off. There are no wires laying on the dashboard making for a very clean installation. |

2730 IN ACTION |
NO ONE IS PERFECT |
I NEED A HIGHT SENSOR | | | |
|
I use my Garmin 2730 in my 2000 Kenworth. I have it mounted to the dashboard in perfect reach & a great view with a ram mount. Thank God for Garmin & GPS City. Together we have traveled over 978000 miles, into every corner of the continental USA. I can’t count the number of times I would have been totally lost for hours without it! Not to mention together with XM radio it’s the perfect companion for the long miles. I also now have the Zumo again attached with ram mounts that I use in my Dodge Ram & also on my Yamaha Royal Star. I’ve created many locations & I can easily get back to any place I’ve saved. Including over 700 of my customers . My Zumo has the saved locations of all my friends & family & now I’m building the list of all my favorite fishing holes and camping spots not to mention some great motor cycle routes. Unfortunately even with all this technology from Garmin and XM navtraffic I’ve still found one area in need of improvement. As I came upon a road closed with construction, my 2730 detoured me around it but it was however unable to notify my of the low hanging telephone line overhead. OOOPS & OUCH. LOL :) Oh well! We’ll keep on going…. |

| GARMIN STREETPILOT 2720 TRIP |
|
|
I used my GPS for 1st time on major trip this summer from Regina to all points in Alaska, Yukon and back.
It is a Garmin 2720 street pilot - marriage saver going! ( wife refuses to try and read maps) on a side trip to see a water fall (Kinuseo Falls) higher than Niagara Falls the new highways diverts around a washed out and replaced bridge. I followed the GPS directions and found myself looking at a barricade after 2 miles of older pavement. I did a U turn and retraced steps following instead the highway by road signs- the GPS eventually accepted we were on the right road and took us to a spectacular sight - pictures of falls and road attached |

| RAM UBOLT GAS TANK MOUNT FOR GARMIN C330 AND CAMERA ON 2001 HONDA VFR BIKE |
|
|
I recently set up my 2001 Honda VFR bike, with a garmin C330 GPS mount and also a camcorder mount.
I dont have all the parts info with me, but you can look up the parts I got under my name "karthik vugane" in your customer profile. I basically used the following:
1. a ball mount which you fit on the gas tank
2. a 5.25 inch ball mount adaptear on both sides
3. garmin c330 cradle with ball mount
4. a generic camcorder screw mount with ball.
The pictures should give you an idea of what part I am using. If you still need be to email you the actual parts, please let me know.
Thanks for doing a great job on this. I love my set up!

| RAM FLEX LEG IN CAR MOUNT FOR GARMIN STREETPILOT 7200 IN A 2006 ACCORD |
|
|
Here are some photos on my new GPS in my 2006 Accord. Special thanks to Chris (tech support) for recommending this RAM Mount. As you can see I had to bend to bracket slightly to fit under the seat bolt (I also replaced the bolt with a longer one since I lost some of the thread engagement due to the added thickness of the bracket and washers). I also added some one inch black corrugated split tubing over the arm to allow room for the cables (power, GA27C & GXM30 antennas, and audio line out). I added an auxiliary audio input to my stock stereo to accommodate the 7200’s audio output. This is a very impressive GPS not only the map display and the MP3 player, but the XM Radio and especially the NAV Traffic. I got on the freeway after church today listening to XM Radio and herd – “traffic ahead”. I tapped the yellow triangle on the display and saw an alert about a stalled car in the right lane a few miles ahead. I’m planning a 2,000 mile road trip in a few months and am really looking forward to it. If you have any questions about the installation, please let me know. |

| RAM MOUNT OF GARMIN 7200 IN A FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC |
|
|
I have provided photos (1-5) that show the general installation sequence (see attachment). Of course, there was drilling, installation of a grommet for the wires to pass through, hardwiring the 7200 harness into the vehicle's 12V system (with the proper inline fuse), etc.
Parts:
RAP-B-202U - after drilling holes to coincide with this mount's holes, I used a piece of rubber behind the mount to separate the console from the mount (no plastic on plastic rattles). I also used a cut piece of plywood as a backplate to the console to give it strength and spread out the weight of the Garmin StreetPilot 7200.
R10-10749-00 - I purchased an extra Garmin cradle so I could splice one into the Trac's 12V system while having an extra cradle to use in other vehicles.
RAM-B-202-G3U - I attached a ram mount to the Garmin cradle using this mount and hardware.
RAM-B-201U-A - This links the RAM mount on the console to the RAM mount on the rear of the Garmin cradle.
Description:
The Garmin 7200 is a great, but big, GPS unit. It would have created an immense blind spot if I sat it on my dash. Using the fantastic RAM Mount system, I was able to install it where I could easily glance at its screen and access its functions, yet still preserve my windshield view. I have driven with this installation for over 5,000 miles and could not be happier. Undoubtedly, RAM offers a fantastic installation system for those "custom" jobs. Thanks! |

| RAM RAIL MOUNT FOR GARMIN STREETPILOT 2730 WITH XM ANTENNA MOUNT |
|
|
Here is the page with the first pics I took of the mounting. I have since moved it to the left handle bar so it doesn't block the center warning lights. I also painted the Garmin antenna mount with a special paint Rust-O-Ileum makes for plastics, it matches the Ram parts exactly. I will send you some updated photos once I get it tweaked.
Thanks for all of your help. The 2730 is awesome. |

I like to thank you all for your very professional work that you doing. I was very pleased with the sales representatives and technical support technicians who helped me to decide what type of equipment I needed.
I had received both parcels in perfect order, and first couple of days of testing in the car and on my motorcycle surpassed all my expectations. The unit is truly impressive gadget, I love it all ready.
I am an electro technician and I like electronics. This one is the most impressive piece that I own. Keep up the good work. |
