RAM CRADLE
The RAM cradle for my 296 GPS fits and works so well it may as well be a Garmin part. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a solid 5. My only minor complaint is with RAM. When I purchased a clamp mount from RAM, after specifying my specific brand and model of GPS, they should have told me I would also need the RAM cradle as well, as the one that came with my Garmin will not fit directly to the RAM mount. It cost me an extra weeks wait and additional shipping costs to finally put everything together. I have been using RAM products in Floatplane and Helicopters for years and as always they work very well.
Pros: very good fit and function.
Cons: ram website could be more helpful.
Recommend: YES

ONLY PROBLEM
I really wanted a unit that would lock the carrier to the GPS. It is mounted on my motorcycle and I'm afraid a real goog bump could dislodge the GPS and send it flying.

GREAT GPS CRADLE
I recently purchased a Garmin GPSMap 478 with the intention of mounting it on my motorcycle. After looking through the various options, some of which were very expensive, I settled on the RAM cradle. I am glad I did. This cradle holds my 478 very securely. It snaps into place and gives absolutely no indication of letting go. I highly recommend RAM mounts for all of your portable electronics.
Pros: secure hold, excellent fit
Cons: no locking mechanism
Recommend: YES

WORKS GREAT
I've used the mount in an aircraft, in my truck and on my motorcycle and it's held up superbly.
I was a little worried that it held the GPSMap 495 differently than the stock Garmin mount but it actually holds the device more securely.
Pros: you won't lose your gps
Cons: none
Recommend: YES
