As I’ve been getting ready for this road trip one of the things I’ve been wanting to do is use my GPS, but putting it inside the map pocket of my tank bag just didn’t work. First off I had to look down in order to see it, thus taking my eyes off the road. It also got unacceptably hot in that pocket, to the point where I was worried that it’d be damaged after a full day’s ride.

So today I went down to Bass Pro Shops and picked up Ram Mounts‘ GPS-60C mount and a U Bolt adapter.

The GPS is now mounted on my handlebars just to the left of the speedometer and there are no visibility issues, either with the GPS or it blocking the view of the road.
