Chapter 5 — Protecting and Mounting Your GPS<br />

For more details on RAM mounts visit www.ram-mount.com.<br />

RAM isn’t the only maker of GPS mounts — most GPS manufacturers also make mounts for<br />

their GPS receivers. Your user manual will likely list the accessories that match your GPS<br />

receiver.<br />

Other alternatives include the use of Velcro strips and beanbags to hold the GPS — personally,<br />

I don’t find that these offer enough in the way of support. I prefer a more robust way to hold<br />

the receiver in place.<br />

Mounting a GPS for Biking, Hiking, and Skiing<br />

You can also mount a GPS on your bike if you purchase a bike RAM mount. These are easy<br />

to fit. To mount a GPS onto a ski-pole or hiking stick, all you need is a RAM mount that is<br />

designed to be attached to a bike. Figure 5-33 shows such a RAM mount.<br />
