NUVI HOLDER
Well-made product that functions as advertised. The unit snaps very firmly into place with no danger of popping out. Clips onto belt clip securely too. I have only used it a couple of times, so no idea about longevity but seems like it should be excellent.
Pros: holds securely. thick, durable material.
Cons: a tad bulky.
Recommend: YES

RAM MOUNT GARMIN NUVI CRADLE
The cradle was just what I needed to round out the mounting easily on the handlebars of my 2007 FLHX. I can also easily transfer the Garmin NUVI 500, with the stuff included with the Garmin, to my others cars and truck.

RAM MOUNT GARMIN NUVI 500 SERIES CRADLE RAM-HOL-GA
This GPS cradle does the job, holds the Nuvi 500/550 safe and strong, but the design is far from good. If you forget to unplug your USB charger from your Nuvi before removing the Nuvi from the cradle, you (actually, the cradle) will brake the USB plug ( or the USB socket on the back of your GPS device).
Pros: strong
Cons: cradle will break the usb chargers's plug

ROCK SOLID FRAMING
This is one secure mount for my 550 regardless of any rough roads on motorcycle. I don't find connecting-disconnecting the power cord out of the cradle that inconvenient. The ball mount on the back is off-centre to clear the speaker.
Pros: absolute contact on all four sides
Cons: none
Recommend: YES

IT JUST WORKS
That's basically it - It Just Works.
It does everything you would want, nothing you don't want, and in an inobtrusive way as possible.
It also really latches on tight to the GPS itself, inspiring a fair amount of confidence that it will not let go when riding a dual-sport motorcycle over trails. Dispite this, it is not difficult to unlatch the GPS when taking things off the bike for parking in unsavoury areas, but it does take two hands.
Yes, you can use the charging/power cable while the GPS is in the cradle, and there is a cutout on the back of the cradle to let the guidance voice come out (though, on a motorcycle, the voice is entirely inaudible). I didn't have any trouble plugging in the cable with the GPS in the cradle.

NUVI 500 CRADLE
Very well made unit. One problem is, I am not able to connect the power cord in the back of the GPS unless the GPS is mounted in the cradle. It would be nice to connect the power cord before clipping it into the cradle.
Pros: solid design
Cons: power cord access
Recommend: YES

RAM MOUNTS ARE THE BEST
The Garmin Nuvi 500 is the 3rd GPS I've used on my BMW Motorcycle. This is the 3rd Ram Mount Cradle I've purchased from GPSCity and have been very pleased with the products & service. I already had the diamond/ball mount so I just needed the cradle. GPS pops in and out easily but holds securly. Range of motion on ball mount is good for different angles. Only negative would be that the power cord has to be plugged/unplugged when the GPS is in the cradle. Searching for that little hole in the back is a little difficult with motorcycle gloves & helmet on.
Pros: tilt & firm hold
Cons: cord can't stay in gps for removal/insert in cradl
Recommend: YES

VERY GOOD - JUST ONE MINOR COMPLAINT
Cradle is very good in fit, finish and quality. I do see what the others are saying about the power cord. My very minor complaint has to do with the rear mount connection being off-center. I use it on my bicycle with the handlebar rail mount. Being off-center, it tends to make the mount rotate on the bar on rough roads & offroad. I'm sure I can fix this with a rubber pad or tape under the mounting zip ties.
Delivery was unbelieveable! Ordered one evening, was at my door a day and a half later - on standard ground service. Thanks GPS City!
Pros: very good fit & finish. holds the nuvi very well.
Cons: off-center mount causes small issue

GOOD, BUT NOT PERFECT
top quality, as expected from RAM mount, but the design requires gps be unplugged before mounting or removing unit (which can be a hassle). I considered cutting away the interfering material, but it's made in such a way that the whole right side would be liable to break off easily if I did that, so I'll live with the hassle.
Pros: good quality
Cons: design could have been better.

RAMNUVI 500 MOUNT
Excellent product in build quality. The plug interferes with the mount because of a lack of clearance. GPS must be unplugged from power supply before removing from the mount, which is a problem if it is mounted on windshield. I am not using the RAM mount because of this problem.
Pros: build qality.
Cons: lack of clearance of power cord.
