| I now have my Oregon 550 open all the time with the 12 volt
cig plug in.The best way to learn and understand any GPS,
is to have it switch on any time.
For the base mount,I used and adapt velcro's to the
components inclued.This way I can transfer the mount from
the pick up to the car.
Note that melt glue is also an option for semi permanent
fix.
Sorry for my english! | |

| Bought this mainly to get the 'socket' adapter. This is
the part that connects to the unit via the mouting spine on
the back of several Garmin handhelds - in my case the
GPSMap 62st - which then mounts to the actual 'ball' on the
mount's gooseneck. All these garmin ball-and-socket mounts
appear to be interchangeable. In my case, I already have
the beanbag dashboard mount ('Portable Friction Mount' in
Garmin-speak), p/n 010-10908-02. I use this mostly with a
Nuvi, but want to be able to use it as well with the 62st.
Works like a charm... the rest of the 'Autonav Kit' will
join the rest of my growing collection of unused Garmin
accessory parts. (Who the heck is going to stick that
round mounting donut on the dash of their Mercedes?) | |

| I have tried the kit with my Colorado 300 for a 1500 km
trip on the weekend. The suction cup dropped from the
window at least 5 times during the trip. While driving it
is difficult to reinstall it. Before the last 200 km, I
cleaned both the suction cup and window surfaces with
cologne and it didn't drop. But I need further drive to
decide if this works. At the end of June, I will go to
holiday and test it. | |

| I am new to Gps but the Oregon seams to be a great device
with lots of functionality. As i am new to Gps it took me
some time to get my head around it. Downside to is is that
it is quite difficult to see outdoors but this can be
improved by importing a white back ground. Google this to
find the files on the web. Other problem i noticed is that
when you turn on Marine fishing mode it no more shows the
street details. I am not sure if this is a defect on mine or
as you are in fishing mode the streets are not needed.
Also the instructions that comes with it are not detail
enough so quite a bit of googling is required if you really
want to know what it can do. Still trying to import maps
into it and having difficulty. Not as easy as the
instruction (again these instructions don't come with the
Garmin.
All over despite the -ve a great device but time is needed
to figure it out. | |
