Are you able to load .GPX routes into the autombile GPS?
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
I have a Garmin Zumo 660 and drove thru 2 days of constant rain without any problems. Still runs great.
...I just figured out yesterday what was wrong with my Magellan (I think) :shhh:
Rust
The power connector to the side of it seemed to have some discoloration; I had examined it closer yesterday and started cleaning it with WD40. Seems that some surface rust was present.
Plugged it back in and it didn't misbehave at all for the entire day of riding. So I think that the unit was not getting a good supply of juice and that's why it was going bonkers.
What makes matters worse is that I ordered and received a replacement Garmin Drive 51 LM 5 GPS yesterday :icon_doh: Now I gots two :shock:

I'm going to clean both of the male and female power connection areas with some electrical contact cleaner today, and then follow up with a nice glob of dielectric grease to protect it. Should have known to protect that connector from the elements; after all this GPS is not "weatherproof" as was aptly demonstrated to me.
A guy can never have enough GPS's !
Apparently not. To my horror... the CRC Electrical contact cleaner JUST MELTED a portion of my Magellan's plastic case :shock:
Not for use on plastics. :icon_doh:
Another word to the wise from stoopid here... :icon_rolleyes: do not use electrical contact cleaner on a plastic GPS case :shhh:
I stand corrected, I guy can actually have to many partially melted GPS's.:icon_lol:
