I saw a thread about how people were mounting their gps to their sleds but i cant find it now. Anyways, here is how I've had mine mounted for the last couple years. It works with any brand and model gps and should work with most sleds. I use the small bungee cord as extra security. I use a ram cradle without the moving arm. I am always flipping sled over and never had a problem like I did on the dash. The only downside is its hard to see, but I only look at when going slow anyways. I just have to bend down to see it.

I hope this is not too harsh... but, is this a candidate for ThereIfixedit?

Ram makes some mounts that attach to the handle bar and allow the screen to articulate to what ever position is best for avoiding glare or viewing.

GPS Mount

I mounted my GPS (Garmin E-Trex) on top of the mountain strap. REI stores sell a clamp kit that also has a new back plate for the E-Trex. That back plate allows the GPS to be easily attached or removed from the clamp.

Do you have any problems with the cold killing your batteries?

I'm reviving the old thread. I mount my gps there because it is out of harms way. If I kept it on the handlebar it would be gone within the hour. This way, I can still bend down and see it while I'm riding.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. I just keep an extra set in my pack. I used to plug it in to the 12v plug but it got wet and fried 2 of my gps.

I have a ram mount that is mounted to the side of my riser under the bars. Its is protected and has never came out. I do have a tether on it though. I have mine wired directly to the battery so no worries about batteries.

This is an odd post. You talk about a great way to mount your GPS, but there is no picture, link or description. ??
