Just read your second post. Try here.

I bought a dash mount from these guy's and was well pleased with the 
quality, price and service. Mine is a Magellan, but the company is a 
good one to work with.

I bought a Garmin 60CX at Cabella's. They're cheaper at Amazon but 
Cabella's
will warranty them for 5 years even if you lose the receipt. It 
doesn't talk
but has a good screen display to show me what's ahead. Usually it's in 
my
backpack and I pull it out after we've travelled new roads and need to
figure out where we are and where the nearest gas is. However, when I 
escort
bicycles and they are making turns ever other block or so to avoid 
heavy
traffic I used it on the handlebars to figure out where I'm supposed 
to turn
next.

I won't try to do any programming or rerouting with it while I'm 
moving on
the bike, but it's easy enough to 'page' thru the screens for info on 
the
route I've already programmed into it. And the tracking feature is 
handy
too.

I'll be surfing for the 'minerallac' pipe clamp tomorrow, but what do 
you
think about vibration, Rod? How delicate are these inventions?
