GPS Mounts

Postby BCH on Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:42 +0000

I have a Garmin Nuvi 2797 (7") GPS/Navigator and find it takes up a lot of real estate with the windscreen centre mounting, blocking a view of the LHS corner of the ute. I am looking for a more creative solution to mount this centre & a little below the dash line where the trip computer is. Any creative solutions out there already? Pics & links please?

Thanks guys - I have also looked at the CD slot mounting

and the Arkon GN047 Mount air vent mounting

but I have concerns with both of these relating to the weight of the 7" navigator and what will happen on corrugations & rough tracks.

Anyone else tried any of the above?

BIGFOOTJR, do you mean the standard holdmyphone center mount, or the Heavy Duty holdmyphone center mount? The Nuvi 3597 5" is a good size, but the 2797 7" is a really big mother.

I have a 2012 model and it doesn't have a HD mount option, just the standard center mount and its solid with no vibration or knocking it off adjustment. I'd say the 7" would be fine!
