Easy to install, holds GPS securely

I installed this on the roll cage of my Yamaha Rhino. I was using a Garmin suction cup mount but it tended to come loose due to the vibration and jarring when driving the Rhino off road, or even on rough roads. I decided to try this mount instead, Unfortunately even the largest U-bolt was too small for the roll cage tubing so I had to clamp it to one of the hand holds, above the front windshield area. Although, it is not where I hoped to mount it, that is actually not a bad location.

Pros:

* Easy to mount. The whole process took about 5 minutes.

* Holds the GPS securely, even under rough and bouncy conditions.

* Easy to adjust to just the right angle.

* GPS firmly locks to the holder and will not pop out like with some other holders.

Cons:

* As stated before, I wish they had configured this to mount to larger tubing using the supplied hardware. However, this is sold as a motorcycle handlebar mount, not an ATV/UTV mount, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

* It is hard to clamp the GPS onto the mount with a 12v DC power cable already attached. I've learn the hard way, that to avoid damaging the USB connector you should attach the cable after mounting the unit. In the location I have this mounted, this is kind of a pain.

Excelent product

Excelent product. I purchased this mount for my Nuvi 550 GPS for a trip to Key West,Fla. from Florence,SC and back.

I am very happy with the mount. The mount held my GPS securely for the entire trip and never required any position readjustment. It came with 2 different sizes of the mounting u-bolts, handy since my handle bars are larger than the stock bars. I added some heat shrink tubing to the u-bolt to prevent any scratches to the handle bars, in case I want to move or remove the mount. I recommend this mount to any rider wanting to travel with a GPS as an addition to their trusty map.
