Is it possible to use the touchscreen with gloves?

Also, is there a RAM mount available for this model?

Thanks!

The Garmin Dakota screen will work with Gloves but on some screens the icons may to small to accurately touch with gloves. The main menu icons are large and should not be a issue it is when you enter in data using the touch screen keyboard.

There is a RAM mount on the horizon expected to arrive sometime next month. Please keep an eye on our site for availability. Here is the link to the product(PN RAM-HOL-GA36). http://www.gpscity.com/ram-mount-garmin-dakota-mount-cradle-ram-hol-ga36u.html

I purchased a comparable product and had the misfortune of having my iPhone 3GS pop off while going over a cobblestone-paved street. My screen was shattered and I had to rush to the Apple store and pay $200.00 to get it replaced. Fortunately I was covered by my credit card insurance for this cost.

Except for this one fatal flaw, this product would be a real winner. As it is, I haven't dared use the bicycle mount since this incident.

I don't know if this particular iPhone mount has the same problem, but I caution potential buyers to be careful. My vendor now has a notice on their site advising the use of a "lanyard" to secure the iPhone to the cradle for rough terrain. In my opinion, their product shouldn't require supplemental purchases.

This is not the case with a custom cradle from RAM. RAM custom cradles are made to fit their units perfectly like a glove. The Dakota will not "pop" out of the mount.
