NUVI 200 CRADLE

No comparison to the poor mount Garmin provides with the 200 series nuvi's I've had nothing but problems with the provided mount coming loose from the windshield and the poor friction of the ball mount between the cradle and the suction cup.

The RAM mount holds the unit securely and with a RAM suction base, exactly where I want it.

I'm not sure about using this cradle on my motorcycles. There are too many openings to allow for bug strikes.

Pros: well designed and solid unit.
Cons: none for a vehicle
Recommend: YES

FITS LIKE A GLOVE!

My Nuvi 260 snaps firmly into place and stays there. Perfect for motorcycle riders looking for a secure GPS holder. The USB plug fits perfectly through the space in the molded plastic on the rear of this holder.

Pros: secure fit
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

NUVIE GPS CRADLE

I would have liked a flush mount. I had to adapt it and drill new mounting holes to make it work on my motor cycle mount. The flush mount (flat rear surface would have been perfect).

Pros: strong, well made, secures my gps well
Cons: see above

LOVE THIS CRADLE!

This cradle works very well with my Nuvi 255W. It does exactly what I wanted from a cradle mount. I received the shipment the very next day. This was terrific for me.

Pros: works well in my special application.
Cons: i have found none.

EXCELLENT MOUNT

this particular mount works really well....the 205 slips in and out easily. Very sturdy as are all the ram mounts.....this is the one to get for the ram system.

GREAT MOUNT

The mount is sturdy and fits the Garmin 250 GPS perfectly. The only less than perfect feature is that you have to unplug the cord before you can remove the GPS from the mount.

CRADLE

I did not realize the mount already came with a cradle...hence I purchased a second cradle without knowing one already was included with the original mount.Thus the ad was hard to ready for most.

Pros: works well
Cons: had to rebend the stainless u bolt for victory bar

GARMIN NUVI CRADLE

This cradle does NOT allow charger cable to be connected on Nuvi 2x5 models. Garmin changed location of cable on back and Ram has not updated cradle for the new design.

GPS City Comment: Since this review was made, RAM has corrected the cradle to account for the change in the newer Nuvi models. This cradle will allow for the USB plug to be used when in the cradle.

Cons: charger cable cannot be connected.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM

I wanted to have the option of using our GPS on my motorcycle and have prior experience with RAM mounts. This one secures the Nuvi 200 snugly and I had no worries about it falling out. Even better - it easily snaps in and out with gloves on, making quick stops simple.
