GPS Mount Recommendations for Garmin, TomTom and Magellan
In our opinion, you don't need an expensive "motorcycle GPS." But you do need a quality mount that can deal with vibration, harsh road conditions and weather. These days, there are many GPS makes/models to choose from. And yes, they are different enough that they require different mounts. Here are some of the most popular GPS brands with our recommendations:
Garmin GPS Mounts
- Garmin Nuvi series: Diamond Mount (our favorite) or Ball Mount
- Garmin Zumo: depends on the model; check out the Ultra-Swivel Gadget Mount and the eCaddy Ball
TomTom GPS Mounts
- TomTom "One" and “Start” series: Diamond Mounts
- TomTom "GO” series: Diamond Mounts
- TomTom Via series: Unfortunately the design of these units makes them difficult to mount on a motorcycle
Magellan GPS Mounts
- The Ball Mount may be used with RoadMate GPS units as long as you have a 17mm ball receiver hole (may be an aftermarket accessory).
- You can also check the Ultra-Swivel Gadget Mounts
Waterproof GPS Mounts
If you're looking to waterproof any model GPS, most models can be mounted with the Hydra.
