Recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 765T, but didn't like the windshield mount that came with the unit. I wanted to find a way to mount the unit to the center console in my 2002 Toyota Tacoma, but at first I was having a difficult time finding the solution.
Fortunately, I came across GPS City, and within a few minutes I found exactly what I needed - - The RAM Mount with Screw Down Plate for the Garmin Nuvi 7xx series (Model RAM-B-138-GA26U). The GPS City web site had all the information I needed to make my decision, such as diagrams, measurement details, and great videos that demonstrate and explain the product very well. I found the videos also helped to give me a better idea of the overall physical appearance and characteristics of the RAM Mount.
I elected to go with the Screw Down Plate, because even though my truck is already 9 years old, I don't have any plans of getting rid of it within the next few years (these days not having a car payment is great!). So for that reason, I don't mind having a three small holes in the console.
The first photo shows the area on my Tocoma's forward center console where I planned to install the unit, just below the radio. The Screw Down Plate of the RAM Mount has the perfect size to fit nicely on the small square area just forward of the 4X4 shift lever. Note the two spare cigarette lighter style power jacks, one of which would be used for my Garmin, and the other would still be free for other uses.
The second photo shows the completed installation, with my Garmin Nuvi in place.
The third photo (although a little hard to see) shows a right side view of the installation. I used velcro cable ties to bundle the Garmin power cord and FM unit along the "neck" of the RAM Mount. The excess power cabling has been tucked under the center console.
This weekend I took my first short trip to a nearby state park with new Garmin and RAM Mount setup. I am very pleased with the RAM Mount, and impressed by it's stability. The RAM Mount's rubber ball joints allow for a wide variety of adjustments and angles, but also deliver a system that is rock solid and there is no slipping of the ball joints once the unit is tightened.
The location where I installed this setup worked out to have an additional advantage... I can rest my hand on the 4X4 shift knob, while my index finger has an easy reach to the Garmin unit's touch screen.
I would strongly recommend RAM Mounts to anyone needing a mounting system that is flexible, has very high quality materials, and a great price. Thanks GPS City and RAM Mounts!!
