G'day fellers just wondering if anyone has made or bought a different mounting system for there off road gps. I'm not a fan of having it on the windscreen due to the blind spot.

I haven't bought one yet but I have seen ones that use the bolts in the seat rails to hold the flexible arm in place.
@mudski has one of those and it seems pretty good.Quote:

Not at all mate. it has been great. It rests on the ledge though too so heaps of support. the arm is 150mm long i think and it hangs down so i can't see the radio too well but its all good.Quote:

So the iPad RAM Mount i have is designed to take an iPad size tablet and stretches at each end then clamps the iPad firmly. Ball joint on the back clamps to the mount
Any photos and price?Quote:

Mine is a series 1 so no top glove box. Forgot to mention that
Mine is mounted at top of windscreen next to rear vision mirror with power lead running across passenger's sun visor and then down to dash via grab handle.
One day I'l get around to supplying power from above roof lining. Works really well and is nice and close to see easily and to change maps or zoom in and out. Would be legal as well as it is still level with bottom of sun visor and does not restrict vision.
Will post photo when I go down to the shed.
Check my write up here RAM mount with 10" tablet
Thanks Wizard. I never thought about putting it up there.Quote:

I will give that a go.
Thanks again. Mitch👍
Photo attached as promised.
Yeah mine is the Ram Mount brand, and it mounts to the seat base mount. Great quality. Barely shakes when off road too. Well worth the coin.Quote:

Isnt it law now that all GPS be in front of the driver, not to the side??
I thought it must not obstruct your vision so that is why I put mine up top. Also it is close enough so I don't have to put on my reading glasses to see it.Quote:

My Garmin is mounted in a Ram mount holder which is bolted directly to the back of the flip up compartment above the radio. Doesn't move or vibrate....
