| GARMIN MAP76CSX ON SKI DOO TOURING 380 |
|
|
Mounted the new Garmin Map 76csx on the sled using the RAM mount with the 1" plate base. No joke, it took less than 1/2 an hour to mount it and that was taking my time! Since I don't have a tach, the mounting location was easy to choose, and easy to see/reach.
The mount works great and holds the GPS very snug. I didn't hard wire the unit to the sled's battery, but it still worked great on a -20C day. You can see in the pic that on this fresh snow day, the screen of the GPS kept getting covered, but when breaking trail, I'm not looking down at the GPS very often... just trying to stay out of the rhubarb!
The Garmin Map 76csx works flawlessly. I am upgrading from a Garmin E-Trex Summit, which worked great but lacked mapping capabilities. I was able to load maps from a friend's TopoCanada software, and with the 4 gig card, I have more than I'll need. Since I'll primarily be using this for fishing, being waterproof was a must. This should be my GPS unit for a long time to come!
I also bought the u-bolt mount and look forward to exchanging it between the Foreman 450 and the boat come spring!

Spruce, Rock and Thin Water
It had been two weeks of tough slogging. The river was practically dry and we had dragged, carried and rappelled our 85 pound canoe most of the way. Inch by inch we made our way north and we had just crossed out of the Canadian Shield and entered the James Bay Lowlands where we hoped for some paddling for a change!
We were finally enjoying long stretches of fast moving water just deep enough to float our canoe. It surprised me how much the scenery looked like Southern Ontario, even though we were near James Bay. It was tricky to determine exactly where we were - every riverbend looked the same and they were passing by quickly.
But were they passing by fast enough? We had arranged for a boat to meet us at the rivermouth. It was to motor our canoe and ourselves across 60 kilometres of treacherous James Bay water to the nearest civilization, Moosonee. We were horribly behind schedule due to the low water conditions encountered upstream. Our "rest-days" had turned into forced marches through the ankle-deep water and now we had to make time to catch that boat. Then the river widened...
The equation is simple - a wider riverbed carrying the same volume of water equals an even shallower river. Disaster!! Time to walk again, this time upon a slippery pavement of limestone instead of boulder fields of granite rocks. Yes, the walking was easier, but it was still walking.
The setting sun and a fall onto the sharp, fossilized corals embedded into the limestone signalled the end of our second last day. We still had 50 kilometres to go - and we had been making 5 to 10 kilometres per brutally hard day for the entire previous week. Was it possible to paddle 50 kilometres tomorrow? Only if the river deepened and we had some very good Karma.
The final day dawned bright with the promise of a south wind to push us north to the Bay. I had studied the map carefully and it suggested a narrower river and hopefully, deeper water. Maybe just a little more walking, but I'd better not articulate this thought or a jinx will settle upon us...
Around the next bend should be... yes, deeper water!!! Thank God. And the wind has come up from behind too. Wow, can it be possible? Now it's time to pull on those paddles - if we don't our shuttle boat may leave and there'll be a lot of worried people wondering why we’re overdue.
Pull, pull, pull - forty strokes per minute. Hour after hour of mind-numbing paddling. Bend after bend of spruce-lined shores - but where exactly are we? Time to pull out the GPS.
OK, we now know where we are, but what about the tide? This river is tidal for the last twenty or so kilometres - an ebb-tide will pull us towards the sea, a flood tide will do the opposite…
Is the tide helping or hindering us? Every kilometre, every minute is critical. My GPS predicts tides, and, phew! - an outgoing tide is adding a couple of kilometres an hour to our speed! Good Karma indeed! But how long will it last?
Eventually, the tide will stop ebbing and a rush of seawater will flow upstream, slowing, possibly halting our progress. We need the ebb-tide's push or we'll miss our boat! The GPS says we've got a couple of hours before the tide turns on us.
We've been paddling for seven hours with no rest but there's no time to waste stopping for lunch. Corina, my partner, comes up with a "nutrition-plan" where she prepares lunch in the canoe while I paddle. We take turns paddling and eating to keep the ship moving.
The river's very wide now. Large expanses of tidal muck line the shores. Our rate of travel is fantastic! Pushed by tide and wind (and our tired muscles) we're doing a day's worth of paddling every hour! But wait, our speed is dropping. Oh no, the salty flood-tide is starting to flow in from the sea. Think. Think...
You're on a river, even though the current has turned 180 degrees there still are eddies and areas of slow current - use them and keep going. Only a few kilometres to go.
Two weeks of work and solitude are about to end. The GPS tells us that even with our slowing rate of travel we will make it to the prearranged meeting point today. The GPS is now a third member of the crew. A new friend and ally in our struggle. I'm staring at my electronic friend, working out our ETA in my head when Corina says "Is that a ... Boat?" Squinting my eyes against the pewter-coloured afternoon sun reflecting off the waves, I see it. Yes, it's a boat alright, and it's coming directly towards us!
What a strange feeling - an intrusion - civilization has just burst into the wilderness bubble that we have been travelling within for two weeks. The "real world" in the form of a freighter canoe is motoring upriver to meet us. Is this good? My tired body and mind heartily say "YES"! But at the same time a part of me is mourning. It's already missing the world of spruce, rock and thin water that we so recently were a part of. It's already planning the next trip...

It wasn't enough of a challenge this past summer to have a motorcyle ride certified, by the IBA, that carried me 1530 miles in about 22 hours -- only done, previously, by about 2300 other riders. It wasn't enough of a challenge to also have a motorcyle ride certified, by the IBA, that carried me 2100 miles in about 43 hours -- only done, previously, by about 1000 other riders.
I had to make the attempt to travel from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico -- and back -- in less than 72 hours. Something that had been certified as only been done by about 14 other motorcycle riders. Nearly 3000 miles, all told, in 72 hours.
Through Los Angeles, twice. Crossing the US/Mexico border, twice. Crossing the US/Canada border? Four times (once to get to the start point, and the ride back into home in Washington State).
At my side, my faithful Garmin nuLink 1695T and back-up 765T mounted, on my Honda Goldwing, with my RAM mounts and cradles. Helped me to plan getting through Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and through LA at times to miss traffic. Helped plan-out the departure times, travel times and arrival times from my intermediate stop on the Central California coast (San Luis Obispo, CA -- where I went to college in the mid-late 1970s) on the way home. Even helped, by converting speed limits from mph to kph while riding in Canada, from coming home with documentation of my having BEEN in Canada, courtesy of the local constabulary!
About 20 hours of riding to get to the other end of Interstate 5, and about 25 hours to get back home. Plenty of time for rest, meals, (limited) sight seeing, seeing my boy just back from Afghanistan, and visiting the home that I lived in as a child.
What an experience! |

| RAM MOUNTS ON MY KAYAK |

I always carry my Garmin 76 , so I decided to install a ram ball and mount it on my fishing kayak. Loaded with Topo Canada it make a great tool for exploring new lakes and marking favorite fishing holes. Also can be used to track your workout if you are just out for a day of exercise. |

Many years I was looking for a smart and good concept for a reliable and strong holder for my competition laptop and my GPS. I found then the RAM Mounts and I am still very pleased with them. Even if I have rough landings (especially during balloon competition), everything is still at the defined place and this because of the RAM Mounts.
Thanks for inventing them. |

I needed a clean, unobtrusive and affordable way to mount my Garmin Nuvi GPS unit onto my new bike.
The handlebar clamp RAM ball system from GPS City solved my problem. Looks great, position is perfect, and I can move the GPS from bike to car in 2 minutes.
Part was in stock, and my order arrived in 2 days.
Thank you GPS City. |

I purchased a Motorcycle mount for my Garmin 765T and it worked better than I had hoped for. One of the features in the Garmin is to track the trip and download it into Map Source. This was the first trip with a group from work. I had no idea where we were going so to take the roads again would have been a stretch. With the GPS on the handle bar playing music through the radio and tracking the whole trip was a great experience.
The mount was absolutely the best, The mount was stable and adjustable as I had to make minor adjustments for comfort. Again thanks to the staff for your help and I have attached a couple of pics of our trip.

| RAM BICYCLE MOUNT FOR GARMIN 76CSX |

I have been using a homemade GPS mount on my Giant Seek 2 bicycle. It took up too much room on the butterfly/trekking bars. I needed room for my headlight.
I'm planning a long bicycle tour this summer. My Garmin 76CSx hand held GPS with "City Navigator North America NT" software should help me keep from getting too lost. It will also help me track my speed and mileage.
The RAM mount from GPS City holds my Garmin unit securely and is easy to dismount when I am not using it or when I am away from the bike.
It is incredibly easy to adjust the GPS to just the right position and the rubber elements in the mount will protect it from the pounding transited through a solid frame. There are not shocks on my touring bike. |

My husband and I decided to visit my family back home in Hinton, Alberta. I hadn't seen them in over 10 years. We were travelling by car from St. Catharines, Ontario. We knew we would need a GPS or else we would end up taking forever and probably get lost somewhere.
That GPS made the trip sooooo much better. Not only did it help us find food and gas stops, we never got lost and always took the shortest distance to get anywhere. It was such a relaxing drive across the country thanks to our GPS. |

Prairie Plains Resource Institute (www.prairieplains.org) has been using Garmin GPS units for 10 years in its high-diversity prairie restoration work. Restoration project boundaries are uploaded to the GPS units from the geographic information system (GIS) to guide the planting "rigs" in the field. During planting, track logs are recorded and are then downloaded into the GIS to refine the map of the project site. The result is a high quality graphic with accurate acreage figures for the client. |

I purchased RAM mounts for my 765T to mount to my 2002 Honda CBR1100XX SUPERBLACKBIRD. The Ram sits on a ball mount in the centre of my top bridge.
Why the long 5.25 socket arm? So I can see the gps over my tank bag.
When it rains, I just lean the gps on the long arm forward further forward under my windscreen. Works like a damn. Haven't had to use my sandwich bag cover yet.
Now I have no excuse getting lost when the leaders turn right and I turn left like I did in BC this July. I still ended up in Trail, I just went through Nelson, and Salmo, the long scenic rainy other way. he he. Enjoy. |

Customized RAM setup. |
Custom setup pic 2 | | | | |

Hello fellow RAM users.
I finally re-did my RAM motorcyle mount setup. I have an '05 Honda VT750 Aero Shadow. I would like to thank the guys at GPS City for giving me assistance with this setup since there is no pre-made part that i needed. It starts with a 1" u-bolt w/1" ball (all the parts are marine grade). To that is attached is attached the 3 1/2" arm. To that is attached my Garmin Map 76 and my ipod touch via a short 2 1/2" arm off to the left side.
The 3 1/2" arm is what has been customized. In order to get a proper ball on the left side, I removed the existing bolt and replace it with a correctly cut piece of ss 1/4" threaded rod. I then replace the existing tightening knob and washers on the right side. I have plenty of rod left over to other customized set-ups when i need to. I think it works and looks pretty good. |

Recently purchased a Garmin Nuvi 765T, but didn't like the windshield mount that came with the unit. I wanted to find a way to mount the unit to the center console in my 2002 Toyota Tacoma, but at first I was having a difficult time finding the solution.
Fortunately, I came across GPS City, and within a few minutes I found exactly what I needed - - The RAM Mount with Screw Down Plate for the Garmin Nuvi 7xx series (Model RAM-B-138-GA26U). The GPS City web site had all the information I needed to make my decision, such as diagrams, measurement details, and great videos that demonstrate and explain the product very well. I found the videos also helped to give me a better idea of the overall physical appearance and characteristics of the RAM Mount.
I elected to go with the Screw Down Plate, because even though my truck is already 9 years old, I don't have any plans of getting rid of it within the next few years (these days not having a car payment is great!). So for that reason, I don't mind having a three small holes in the console.
The first photo shows the area on my Tocoma's forward center console where I planned to install the unit, just below the radio. The Screw Down Plate of the RAM Mount has the perfect size to fit nicely on the small square area just forward of the 4X4 shift lever. Note the two spare cigarette lighter style power jacks, one of which would be used for my Garmin, and the other would still be free for other uses.
The second photo shows the completed installation, with my Garmin Nuvi in place.
The third photo (although a little hard to see) shows a right side view of the installation. I used velcro cable ties to bundle the Garmin power cord and FM unit along the "neck" of the RAM Mount. The excess power cabling has been tucked under the center console.
This weekend I took my first short trip to a nearby state park with new Garmin and RAM Mount setup. I am very pleased with the RAM Mount, and impressed by it's stability. The RAM Mount's rubber ball joints allow for a wide variety of adjustments and angles, but also deliver a system that is rock solid and there is no slipping of the ball joints once the unit is tightened.
The location where I installed this setup worked out to have an additional advantage... I can rest my hand on the 4X4 shift knob, while my index finger has an easy reach to the Garmin unit's touch screen.
I would strongly recommend RAM Mounts to anyone needing a mounting system that is flexible, has very high quality materials, and a great price. Thanks GPS City and RAM Mounts!!

| 7,400 MILES IN 17 DAYS! |
Track of trip was transmitted live to the net (gaps due to radio coverage) |
Finally |
home again! | | | |
|
I purchased my Garmin GPSmap276C, along with a RAM mount and the hockey puck dash mount from GPS City in 2004 (just as the unit came to market) for a coast to coast vacation I was planning to take in June of 04. I had always wanted to drive cross country, and I finally got the chance.
I preloaded all the detailed street level maps I would need on 2 memory cards. I also printed out a full set of turn-by-turn directions in case something bad happened to the GPS unit along the way. Luckily, everything went off without a hitch! For 17 days, I followed the 276C's voice navigation instructions. In over 7,000 miles of driving, I only encountered 2 minor navigation glitches- both of which were corrected in subsequent firmware updates from Garmin.
My route took me to the Gateway Arch, Kansas Cosmosphere, Pikes Peak, the Royal Gorge Railroad, the Meteor Crater, the Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire, the Queen Mary, the Santa Monica Pier, and up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco before turning East onto I-80 and heading home. A few weeks after returning home, I also visited Cape Cod, finishing a full coast-to-coast tour. All along the way, the 276C worked great! It had no problem finding places for me (and my car) to refuel, or redirecting me back onto my route during those times when I decided to stray off the beaten path. And the trip computer was always extremely accurate as to arrival times, etc.
Being a ham radio guy, I also had the 276C tied into my ham radio in the car. Using something called APRS, the Garmin was transmitting my position, speed, elevation, and heading every 5 minutes. These transmisions were automatically recevied and relayed by other ham stations and linked to the internet- giving all my friends back home (or anywhere in the world for that matter with internet access) live position reports showing where I was on detailed maps! WAY COOL! The map pictured here is a composite of all the position reports received via the internet displayed on a Landsat map of the USA. The gaps in the track are due to areas of poor radio coverage where my signal didn't make it to the 'net.
My only negative comment is that the original software did not provide for elevation mapping (2-D tracks only) when downloading saved tracks. Later software updates corrected this, allowing for full 3-D tracklogs. It would have been neat to see the elevation profile as I crossed the Great Plains, went over the Continental Divide, ascended Pikes Peak, etc. But who knows? There were so many other places I wanted to visit and/or stay and explore longer, maybe the pieces for another epic trip will fall together someday...
All in all, the trip was fantastic, and would have been much less enjoyable without the GPS navigation. I can't even imagine trying to navigate the L.A. freeways while trying to read maps and printed directions! The 276C took all the stress out of making the correct turns, and also gave me the freedom to wander around abit without fear of getting lost.
One last note: For those sharp-eyed readers, the photo of the trip computer screen, the total trip time is obviously not accurate. This is due to turning off the unit at night, during rest stops, while touring attractions, etc.

I just bought a new (to me) Subaru Outback and needed to install my Sirius Radio and GPS in my new ride. I had a klunky "bean-bag" mount for my GPS (slid off the dash during turns!) and a poorly-designed car mount for my Sirius in my old Subaru. I wanted a nice, clean, easy mount system. An internet search brought me to ExpressMounts and the wonderful RAM mount system. I opted for the sticky on a screw-down plate for both. I used the Ezy Mount system for the GPS so I can easily stash the unit in the glove box. Using the website made it easy to pick which cradle I needed. My Sirius radio slid out easily already from its dock, so I mounted the dock directly to the RAM mount. The 2-sided sticky tape held great! The ball-and-socket adjustment system is brilliant and works great! I am VERY PLEASED with my RAM mount system and ExpressMounts was a joy to work with! |

| GPS LOW PROFILE RAM MOUNT ON MOUNTAIN BIKE |
|
|
I am using a pair of Ram low profile mounts on my Gary Fisher Piranah Mtn bike. (RAP-274)
They allow me to keep the GPS units close to the handlebars and doesn't amplify the vibration I was getting with a standard Ram mounting arm.
As my hobby I map bicycle trails and like having a backup so I won't lose any data. My Garmins haven't failed me yet. My earlier Garmin didn't do maps, so I used the Brunton MPS (AKA Lowrance iFinder) with MapCreate to help me find my way around. Just got an email today that my cradles for the new DeLorme PN 20 and eTrex color were finally being shipped. I was an alpha and beta tester on that unit and want to load the DeLorme maps on it and use it as my secondary unit. Garmin is by far #1 for consumer GPS so it will be my primary focus. However, I will be playing with creating routable trails of my network of GPS enabled bicycle trails. I normally don't get that much glare off my screen guards as seen in the photo. |

I'm using a Garmin GPSMAP76CS (discontinued and replaced by GPSMAP76CSx) on a 2006 Honda Rancher FA 400cc 4x4 ATV mounted by a RAM Mount RAM-B 149-GA14U.
I have bounced this ATV all around and the GPS always stays securely in place and gets me where I want to go. |
