Does anybody have a garmin in their truck?

Managed get them uploaded using the phone and some of my lunch break instead.

Here's how it's mounted....
(ignore the little stuffed doggy. He's there to fill the empty space until I can find a good cell phone holder that'll fit there.)


Here's how I keep the wires out of my way.



Yeah, it's down low and takes a little getting used to, but I listen to it more then look at the screen anyway.

 

Don't mess with the doggie...He Rules!!! Leave him in there!!!

 

LOL. Thanks. I'm just going to call it the SDM - Stuffed Doggy Mod.

(A friend game him to me 'cause she knows I want a Husky once I get a house.)

 

she must be cute to have you keep a stuffed animal in your truck

 

For a long trip on the window.

For a short trip. wrap the excess wire around the suction mount and stick the mount/wire in the left cup holder. you can use the adjustable cup holding lever to keep the suction mount and wires secure and then you can still adjust the gps unit for viewing. It almost looks like its part of your center dash

 

This is where I put mine.

 

How did you do that?

 

It's actually a block of aluminum. I machined it to fit the garmin and fit the space there in the truck. I painted it gloss black and then laser engraved the symbols on it. It was about a 3 day project.

 

It sucks that you are in the 'stan right now- Cause I'm sure you could get a few folks to buy those...

 

I should be in the SD area in the beginning of next year. I have no problem making some more. The thing is that unless it's the same model garmin as mine I would need to get my hands on whatever garmin the plate is for in order to get the dimensions.

 

Huskies rule!



Here's my GPS, Garmin nuvi 200W.

Oh, it's hardwired and the wire runs under the dash.

 

Awesome picture. I definately gotta get one.

My college mascot/team name was the Bloomsburg Huskies.
