Has anyone tried to use a car's Garmin on their bike?

My son has a Garmin Nuvi 200 but since he's in Bootcamp I'm wondering if it's worth trying to hook it up to the bike?

 

Yeah, I have a Garmin Streetpilot on mine. Just hafta keep it dry.

 

I use a Garmin 200w got my mount from rammount.com, I use a zip lock bag over it when it rains lightly, on a hard rain I take it off.

 

Magellan GPS on mine with a bicycle mount. I don't keep it on the bike all the time. Only use it for long trips and if it falls off or get stolen, no big loss. Works perfectly.

 

Garmin Nuvi 760. No problems. If it rains I put in a sandwich bag and run it on battery power. Other wise it's wired to a powerlet on my handle bars with a short power cable I made. I also use it with a short cord plugged into the radio and tuned to AUX for voice comands through the head sets.
Works for me and when not in use on the bike I move it to the truck. Bluetooth for the phone also. If you look close you can see it mounted on my bars on the left side with a RAM Mount

I use a 100 dollar tomtom I bought refurbished from radio shack. I suction cut the thing right to my windshield and I have ridden over 1000 miles with it on there and it hasn't fallen off at all. I back it up with a string tied to the windshield just in case but I only put it on for long trips. Ohh and I carry a sandwich baggie in my saddle bag to cover it just in case.

I know with the tomtom it tells you how far till next turn on the screen which is awesome cause you can't hear it all that good when the radio is cranked up. Just do it!!!

 

I use a nuvi 200w with a Ram Mount and a Aqua Box. I have a cigarette lighter mounted next to the horn cover, so thats were I get my power from.
I'll try to post a pic of the Ram Mount with the waterproof case.

 

Been using a Nuvi 750 for about a year now, works great, Ram mount and sandwich bag if it rains...Zumo way over priced IMHO

 

I have a garmin 2610 that works great on a bike. it doesn't have a hard drive, so the vibrations don't kill it, plus is weatherproof.

 

gman,

I think I just found someone who hangs more **** off their handlebars than me!
