Is those electronics waterproof?

 

GPS is, and the sat radio has a cover that it used when it rains. have had absolutely no problems, hot weather, riding for days in downpour.

 

I use the nuvi, works fine but in the middle of the day it can be hard to see the screen

 

If you don't have a hard drive in it you should be OK as long as you cover it in rain.

 

I see everubody is using the ram mount do ya know if it works on 1 1/4" handle bars? I saw the add for it and I think they said 1" only.

Thanks

 

I use a Garmin C330. It has a suction cup on the bottom, I put it on the lid of the gas tank..ridden there for miles with no problem. Not fancy or pretty but it works. I, like a lot of other guys, carry a sandwich bag with me in the event of rain.

 

I use a 250W all the time. It's mounted on a home made mount I fabricated. I posted pictures a while back. Just look for gps mount. less than $20 in parts and a little work.

 

Sure my Garin c330 with the windshield suction cup sticks right to the tank or tach. (not windshield) works like a charm take it everywhere.

 

I use a Garmin Vista Hcx in a RamMount. Waterproof and uses AA batteries, no cords to run. Carry some rechargeable AA's in a ziplock to power it. In a pinch, stop at WallyWorld to buy a bulk pack of alkaline batteries, even with backlighting on a low power, about 20 hours on a set. I have a Micro SD card in it with all of North America on it.

It still can do routing, not the largest but it works for me. All I need including a colour screen.

 

I bought my first RAM mount from there site for retail. I then needed a xm radio mount. I bought the second mount from Amazon.com for less than half of the first. I also use the Nuvi 350. Snaps off and goes in the pocket or tourpak. Won't go on a trip without it.
