Default GPS on Bikes

This is the second time you've posted about GPS in the wrong forum. How about looking around and finding the GPS forum (where your other thread happily waits)?

Most of us use Ram mounts. You may find them at your local sporting goods store in the boating section.

I'll be darned, the search doesn't find anything for GPS.

Good thing I know where to find them.

[Edit] Yup, there are instances of GPS out there in the text. Perhaps it's too short of a word.

Search for "gps mount", titles only:

Motorcycle-Journal Forums - Search Results

gps is too short, but "mount" resulted in quite a bit of useful info. Using 'titles only' is often helpful.

I've made a number of posts lately regarding my experience with hooking up my Christmas gift GPS unit on my Suzuki M50. I've ordered a RAM mount like the one Clint mentioned. In the meantime I've been mounting my GPS unit using the regular car suction cup mount that came with the Garmin StreetPilot c330 unit. I attach the suction cup to the face of my speedometer. I tried mounting it on my gas tank where it also mounted quite securely, but I couldn't view it adequately there. So far, it's held up fine on my rides and hasn't fallen off, but for peace of mind I'll be happy when my handlebar mount arrives tomorrow.
