FITS LIKE A GLOVE !
I purchased the RAM mount for my Garmin nuvi 750 to use on my motorcycle. The RAM mount is well constructed and engineered, and fits the GPS perfectly. The GPS is snugly held in place, and the ability to easily move the unit from the motorcycle to the car is a big plus. Placing the order was easy, and the RAM mount arrived very quickly from GPSCITY.COM
Pros: top quality construction

FITS WELL ... BE BETTER IF ..
This holds the unit very securely. It even has sufficient space to permit the Garmin cradle as well (which allow you to use the Garmin's DC adapter connector and provides a microphone input).
I would have gladly paid much more to have it include all the wiring such that I could merely pop the Garmin in and out (as I do on my car), and not have to mess with connecting the power and/or audio wires each time.

NO DIRECTIONS, BUT GOOD PRODUCT
I suppose I shouldn't tell you that I'm in Mensa, but the GPS fits into the cradle both right side up and upside down if you have its own adapter off, and I put it in upside down, then spent quite a bit of effort trying to figure out how to connect power to the GPS. A slip of paper with directions would have saved me some hassle. The mount itself is terrific. I put it on my motorcycle and rode 3200 miles last week without a single problem.
Pros: solid, well made
Cons: no instructions.

ROBUST GRIP!
I use this GPS mount with a small RAM handlebar adapter for my bicycle. Previously I had a RAM mount for a Nuvi 360, and once my GPS jumped out of the mount and onto the pavement when my bicycle hit a pothole. Not a good thing! (Fortunately the GPS still worked afterwards.) The design of this mount re: holding the GPS appears excellent. I can't imagine the GPS coming out, though I haven't yet used it much.
Pros: great ram quality
Cons: not weatherproof

NUVI GPS HOLDER
Works good for my Nuvi 765. You have 2 choices for powering your GPS. First, and least convenient/pretty is using the stock snap in mount that comes with your GPS (without the suction cup/ball mount. This setup enables you to use the stock power cable with traffic receiver. I had issues with this because it's hard to find a pretty way to hide the big honking traffic receiver plug. I changed to option 2, which is getting the USB power cable available at RadioShack. I hid the much smaller cigarette lighter plug under my seat and ran the plenty lon cable to the GPS stem mount. Now, I don't have to remove the stock snap in mount from my truck, just the GPS. The GPS snaps in to this cradle and USB power plugs in to the bottom of the GPS. A much cleaner setup. A clarifying note: This cradle can be used with the stock cradle attached or without. The GPS and stock cradle fit inside this cradle. Let your power supply of choice delineate which you use.
Pros: snug fit, no fear of gps coming out
Cons: none

GARMIN 750 ON A CBRXX
The cradle, diamond mount, standard arm, and lever attachment for my CBR were ordered together. This is the second complete RAM unit I've purchased and have been delighted with both. The other is used for my digital camera or radar detector. RAM makes excellent products!
The only problem, and it's not RAM's, is the Garmin 750 has no way to charge from a direct battery connection. It operates off an internal battery with 5 hours being the unit's functional limit. There is no way I know to allow a DC hookup using the cradle.
That being said, the RAM is terrific.
Pros: sturdy, secure

GARMIN NUVI RAM MOUNT
The RAM Cradle mount holds the Nuvi very well and is great for a permanent mount, but don't plan on removing it very often.
I suppose it is Garmin's fault for requiring their supplied mounting bracket to interface between the cable and the GPS itself. The RAM mount does handle it well for a permanent mount though.
But, because you have to attach the adapter to the GPS, attach both into RAM mount, and then plug the cable in behind all of it, it's a pain to remove regularly, if you live in a "questionable area". It would be far nicer to have the OEM mount attach into the RAM mount first, and then have the GPS plug into that, or better yet, just incorporate the adapter directly into the RAM mount (at a higher manufacturing cost, of course).
If you forget to unplug the cable first, and you can bend the cable.
I do recommend the shortest attachment arm you can. I tried a longer one first, to get it closer to me in my truck, but the engine caused too much vibration. Changing to a simple VESA swivel eliminated the vibration.
Pros: tight fitting, custom cradle holds it well.
Cons: tough to quicly remove from cradle.

NICE...UNTIL STOLEN
I liked the Garmin unit, but did not get to try out the mount. A week after getting the GPS, I left it in the car charging, with the unit on. It makes a nice bright glow at night...bright enough to draw attention to it. It was stolen. The serial number is on the unit but not the paper work. I recommend writing down the serial number before putting it in your car.

GREAT ON MY M/C
I've been out for a few rides now with my Nuvi 750 in this cradle using a z-arm RAM mount to the bike (BMW R1200RT). The cradle works great, quite secure and properly cut-away for the necessary OEM power-cradle. I never remove the OEM cradle, only the power connector, as I have another GPS for the car. So no issues for me that another poster noted.

NUVI 755T CRADLE
Having used the RAM mount cradle for the nuvi 350 for a couple of years, I expected the same firm grip and ease of use (I take the nuvi out when not in use) in the 755T cradle. Unfortunately, while the grip is the same, snapping the unit in and out with the power cable connected is problematic with this cradle. The problem is that the cut out in the back of the unit is too small due to the way the side mounted cable attaches. The stiff part of the cable adjacent to the connector hangs up when you go to snap it out (I fear I am going to break it). Snap in is easier but must be done carefully making sure the cable is out of the way. You can unplug the cable and snap it out but this is difficult to do when the nuvi is mounted close to the dash. Part of the problem here is Garmin's. The length of the nuvi itself and the choice of power port location makes attachment difficult for the solid RAM mount frame. I recommend the unit only because there is nothing else like it and the flexible deployment options offered by the cradle, six-inch bar and suction cup are hard to beat when you drive rental, government vehicles and family cars like I do.
Pros: flexibility, solid grip
Cons: difficulty of snapping unit in and out of cradle

CRADLE IS GREAT BUT ...
it does not allow connecting the nuvi 760 with the FM receiver. This is frustrating as I do wish to use the traffic updates and the RAM mount. It does not appear there is a purchasable answer. I am considering making a plate that would attach to the RAM mount diamond and use the Garmin suction cup mount. This defeats my purpose for this mount. YMMV (You mileage may vary)
This said, the RAM Mount cradle fits perfectly and fulfills the basic cradle needs just fine. If you used the standard power cord, it would all work since the access points are readily open/accessible.
GPS City Comment: This is actually incorrect. The RAM cradle does allow the Garmin cradle to remain connected while holding the unit. You can then connect the FM receiver to the Garmin cradle.
The FM receiver is also the power cable, and it does fit with the RAM cradle connected.
