RAM MOUNTS
I have been using Ram Mounts over the past years for all of my GPS Receivers without any problems. They are staple and stand up in the summer heat when left in the vehicle. I am completely satisfied and will continue to use this product.
Pros: high quality product

BEST GPS MOUNT
I received this mount 3 days after ordering it and I am presently using it on my Harley Davidson Ultra. It holds it in the right position, which is adjustable with the arm and ball handle bar attachment. Should it look like rain, I just throw a zip-lock baggie over the GPS. I love it. Great product. I use it with my Garmin 200-W.

GARMIN GPS CRADLE
The cradle holds the Garmin 255W GPS unit securely with no wiggle room. It's easy to install and remove the GPS. I did not have to make any adjustments to the cradle for the power cord to attach, as other have noted. The cradle is well made I expect it to last a long time.
Pros: holds the gps securely
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

GREAT CRADLE
This cradle is very sturdy when mounted on my motorcycle. It replaces my bulky aqua box when driving in dry conditions. It's unfortunate that i had to buy a cradle to fit all my RAM attachements instead of using the original cradle that came with my gps as it has a smaller ball hole.
Pros: sturdy construction

NUVI 200W CRADLE MOUNT
Easy to install, it took me less than 5 minutes to install the ball mount adpater to the back of the cradle and attach it to my already existing handlebar RAM mount system on my Goldwing motorcycle. I like the fact the GPS fits snuggly in the cradle without any room to rattle around...another mount I have the GPS unit (not the Nuvi) would pop right out of the cradle when I hit a bad bump.

IT ALMOST WORKS GREAT
This mount is a good mount with one exception. The area where the power plug goes into gets in the way of the plug and keeps it from sitting properly. I had to cut it out for it to work properly. Otherwise I have no issues with this mount.
Cons: power port hole needs improvement

RAM MOUNT CRADLE FOR NUVI
The cradle is well built, BUT you can't plug in your power cord without doing some filing. Because of the why the cradle is built there is a bar in the way of the 90 degree power cord The power cord won't seat until you file this bar down. Once that is done it works great.
Pros: very well built
Cons: can't plug in power cord with modifying

NUVI 205W CRADLE, DESIGN FLAW
The RAM-HOL-GA25U cradle holds my Garmin nuvi 205W securely, but there is a serious problem. There is a bar of plastic on the cradle situated just below the power socket that interferes with the 90 degree power plug. The plug cannot be fully inserted, so the power connection is intermittent at best. I solved this by removing about 1/16 inch of the bar's thickness with my Dremel tool.
Pros: secure
Cons: some material must be removed for power connection

GOOD GPS CRADLE FOR MOTORCYCLE
This cradle is made of a solid material. The GPS snaps in place and is held very securely. The only flaw I could find is that my plug into the back of the GPS is a 90 degree angle plug and the hole on the back of the cradle that the plug goes through has a ridge on it that prevents the plug from being fully engaged. Nothing that a dremel can't fix. After grinding the ridge about half way down, it works like a charm.
Pros: quality material well designed except as noted.
Cons: had to grind the back with a dremel. (small area)

NUVI HOLDER
Holds my 250W nice and snugly. for the stock power cord with the 90 degree plug, you will need to "snip" a little piece of plastic from the back of the mount in order to plug it in. It took me a whole 2 seconds using side cutters.
Pros: well made holds nuvi tightly

RAM MOUNT FOR GARMIN NUVI 2XXW
Typical RAM design. It holds the GPS tightly but is easily released. I did run into a problem. The power port on the rear is not large enough to accept the Garmin propriatary power cord which has a 90 degree angle plug. Generic straight plugs will not power/charge the Nuvi! So it's battery power only or modifications!
Pros: excellent secure hold with perfect visibility
Cons: cant use power cord with it, battery power only.
