I have to give you credit for trying and I thank you for the effort at the
same time. But no, it is not like any of those. The closest thing to what I
want looks like this
http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Nuvi-2x...5706600&sr=8-2
but that one, which was suggested by another poster, is designed for the 200
series Garmin. The one I need looks similar, but has contact pins at the
bottom for making some electronic connection to the unit itself.
I've looked at and considered the RAM unit, but, as you can see, it has not
only the center cradle that I'm looking for, but an entire frame around the
device too. That might not matter but it's not clear if the RAM parts work
only with other RAM parts or if they are compatible with standard Garmin
parts. I have a Garmin beanbag and a Garmin windshield mount and the cradle
I'm looking for needs to work with those.
I have called Garmin and they told me the cradle I'm looking for is not sold
by itself: I'd have to buy another windshield or dashboard mount in order to
get one according to them. They would not sell me just a cradle as a
courtesy either.
Just for the record, I do research/google on my own before I post requests
on newsgroups, the latter idea being only out of desperation, believe me. I
like to do my own work and don't expect others to do it for me. I am
greatful for your trying though. Thanks again.
