Best way to mount Tom Tom GPS on Bike
I was thinking about trying to mount my Tom Tom XXL 540 S on my bike, whats the best mount to use and is there any tricks to be able to read the screen in the bright sunlight! I tried to use it a couple of years ago and could not see the screen in the sun light! Or do you need to purchase a Motorcycle type GPS? Thanks in advance.

i've been curious about this also. in feb when i bought my wide glide i bought a garmin nuvi just for the bike and tried it with the suction mount stuck to the speedo. every time i'd stop or coast while at idle the gps was shaking so violently that i was afraid it would come out of the mount. that put me off buying the ram handlebar mount because my bars shake WAY worse than my tank. anyone else have this problem?
it really would be nice to be able to ride anywhere i want and then when im ready to head home just hook up the gps if i dont know where i am. i catch myself taking the same ol rides often and it sucks alot of the fun out of it.

Stuck mine right to the gas cap cover (have the non-locking). Glued Velcro to the bottom and run a short strap under the cap to hold it in case it pops loose, which it has and no issues reattaching on the fly.
Tough to see sometimes but nothing like when it was on the bars and windscreen (had a bar mounted one), both locations were horrible to see (shaking) and I can imagine that much rattling would significantly shorten the life so moved it to the tank, no shaking.
Cord is not a problem, string it around the ignition and tucked excess by the cig lighter. No pinching or binding. Works great for me. Zero bucks.
