    I got the refurbished version of this https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Nuvi-6...refurbished+67 for $89. My motorcycle specific gps took a crap. I actually like my new one better. Bigger screen and simple to use

    How does that magnetic mount hold up and where have you mounted it ?

    I saw those new round magnetic (???) mounts last week and wondered how they took sharp bumps.

    I like the idea of the larger screen for aging eyes.

    I dont use magnetic mounts. I use ram mounts. I bought a mounting kit from travelor on this forum. It mounts dead center above my dash. I like it. Sorry I cant post a pic.

Then the ram suction cup mount is on that plate. Then its tethered to the mount. I have seen what you posted on another wing and it looked clean and sturdy. But he screwed that mount into the top of his dash.

    I have never learned or tried to load routes. I would assume you can but not positive. I would like to learn how to bulld and load a custom route. Maybe during the winter I can dink around with that.

    The handlebar ram mounts work great too but I wanted my gps in the center and up near the bottom of the windshield if you dont mind it on your bars then it is a good option
