Garmin 660LM and 590LM owners

[SimonTemplar]

Been shopping both these units. Started with the expectation of getting the 660...but have been lately considering dropping the extra scratch for the 590.


Anyway.....
I've been investigating various mountings. Pretty much know where I'm mounting...still working on the 'how' details. I know the 590 (and possibly the 660 as well?) come with both a bike mounting cradle and a car mounting cradle. My question is...the snap-lock ball on the car plate....is that the 'Garmin G ball'? Numerous Ram Mounts quote a 'Garmin G-ball' but don't really give any other information. The Garmin site hasn't helped much either.

What is the 589LM ? Do you mean the 590LM ?

Aaack!! Where'd I get '589' from? Must've had other things on my mind at the time.


YES.....I meant the 590LM

(guess I picked the wrong week to give up scotch)

My favorite mounting method is to use a brake/clutch reservoir cover ball mount. It gets the Garmin unit high and forward, therefore close to your line of sight.

Been looking at the 590 myself. Gps was very important and used most everyday when I worked, 3 weeks into retirement and havn't touched one. The bunch that I ride with, when it isn't winter, has someone leading a ride and I just follow, but I am planning on getting out and exploring more on my own this summer and a good gps would be nice. Will be following this to see where it goes or will it get lost among the threads.

I recommend this one from Motorcycle Larry. Com. I have it, and it is very finely made. http://www.motorcyclelarry.com/index...30d62e4lgmtis4

I have the single post mount, positioned to the right. Black matte finish
