GPS Mounts

[Spie]

What kind of mounts are people using for GPS?

If you are looking for something really neat you could do a lot worse than the Techmount Stem Mount.

I bought one for my Zumo 660 and it positions the unit in just the right place. It's neat too. Here's a pic without the Zumo.

You can order it with the correct baseplate fitted for the 660. Quality is superb and there's a UK supplier. Recommended.

+1 for the Techmount. I have the fork yolk version on my 1098S. Excellent quality and rock solid.

Here's another angle of the Techmount stem mount, with a bit of background interest

Is Part Number 3-10105 the one you fitted?, just wondering what else you needed if anything to get your TomTom bolted to it.

That Tachmount stem looks rather tidy. How easy is it to remove? I've just got a ball joint on the top of my yoke that I can attach my TomTom too via a socket arm thing. Means it's quite tidy when I don't want/need the GPS.

Dead easy - you just pull it out.

Of course you still have the GPS wiring to deal with.

that Techmount one looks so simple to use. Trouble is I want to use my cars sat nav (TomTom 520) but it has no holes underneath to screw into the baseplate of that Techmount one.

They have this on there site, suppose that would work.

You could velcro it?

hmmmm, wanted something a bit more sturdy to be honest, would always have that constant worry it could fly off and cause an accident.

Any excuse for a bit Ferrari displaying LOL.

As for Velcro there's some pretty crazy strong stuff out there that I would use if you cant bolt it on. you would be surprised how strong some of them are

Duct Tape . That's how I had my GPS mounted for a while while I was waiting for my yoke fitting to come hah.

Anyways never mind gps. What happened to a map and a layby.

I have the uncanny ability to look at a map and just go there without having to look at it again.

Used to drive a van for a company and they named me the Pigeon because of it LOL

I have the uncanny ability of getting lost when leaving my close!, seriously, am bloody useless, I have no sense of direction and wouldnt get anywhere in the car without my sat nav.

Not sure of the fork diameter on a 999S ? But its the same model. Base plate had holes drilled to fit any make a sat nav

I use a tank bag with a clear pocket on the top. Not as elegant though!

 

[kidloco]

hmm, both the fork and stem versions have been on back order for some time now

Tank bag may be the only solution unless I can find another UK supplier
