Jody, yes, I did call Garmin and got some more information. They said it was some kind of a marine thread that I guess is standard ? The sales person really didn't know much about it, but he told me it was a standard kind of mount that they sell at West Marine to mount GPS units. If I can find out exactly what it is I'll try to find some kind of an adapter or something, but it is starting to sound like some kind of marine $pecific thing.

LOL.. well I spilled a drink! That counts for reputation right... What they are most likely talking about then:

crapola... I could only find:



as a mounting option...

do you have an image of the current mount or interface to the mount? You may be able to go a local marine shop - the only issue you would have is the threads - they have to be matchable..to something or else you cross thread it (considering wire runs in between) and just epoxy the joint..

Another consideration is checking a computer outlet like Best-Buy or something... you may be surprised...
