| 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!

| 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. |

Here are photos of my Garmin GRS 276c mounted on my 2005 Road King with the RAM mounting system. Been riding over 2 years with it and works like a charm. Great system. |

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. |

|
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. |

| 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 mounted two diamond plate bases with 1" ball on the inner fairing. The left is used for a Garmin GPS Map 396, which moves from bike to truck to boat to airplane depending on the mission of the day. The right is used for a cup holder or Ipod mount depending on need for the ride. |

| CIRCUMNAVIGATING THE WORLD |
|
|
Since 19 months we are now on our journey around the world. And Garmin is showing us the way we want (or have) to go.
We appreciate the help of Garmin (Model 276C) not only for the roads (we use good maps as well) but in the cities where it shows us the best way to a RV Park or Camping. Or sometimes to a hotel!
Or to a famous Whiskey Distillery in Tennessee (see picture).
Kind regards |

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! |

| VACATIONS GUIDED BY MY GARMIN 276C |
|
|
I recently went out of Margarita Island, Venezuela (where I live). My trip started in the oriental part of Venezuela targeting to ride around the country.... that was first time I ride my car too far from home, so i decided to carry a good friend who guide me trough the whole way: My GARMING 276C mounted in my dashboard with it's Ram Mount from GPS City....
At the end of the story, my girlfriend and I made around 3500 KM trip in my Toyota Land Cruiser, riding for first time trough a beautiful country I did not know before... all without effort due to the auto-route capability of my 276C.
I thank you guys from GPS City for your excellent customer service and the complete product gallery you have in stock fur us.... I recommend you 100%

I permanently installed my Garmin 276c Chartplotter into my Jeep Cherokee using a RAM mount. I wanted it to the immediate top and right of the steering wheel, but below the dash line, so I popped out ventilation louvers and installed a RAM mounting ball in their place. |

| 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. |
