RAM Mounting Systems Suction Cup Mount for Garmin GPSMAP 76C 76CS 76Cx 76CSX 96 96C




The RAM RAM Marine Grade Aluminum Mount with 3.25″ Locking Suction Base consists of the 1″ dia. ball and socket system with RAM Composite Cradle for the select mobile phones. This is perfect when you need to attach your suction cup mount to your car dash vertically or horizontally, rather than to your windshield.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Works well
Good suction. Swivels in all directions. Stays put. Easy removal.

It is practical and portable. I like the convenience of being able to place it in any car, as it is not a permanent mount. It is a little hard to place/remove the GPS in the mount, however.

4 Stars Ram Mounting Systems Suction Cup mount for GPSMAP 76CSX
This unit did everything it was supposed to. I have two other types of mounts and this really was the most versital. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the some what difficulty in getting the GPS into the holder. It was very easy to position and reposition. It tilted easily, held the expensive GPS very safely. At first the thought the price was a little high but now I think it was right on the money and was a very worthy purchase.

5 Stars Raw mount for my Garmin 76 CSx
This thing is built at a very high quality level; the suction cup you can’t even pull the suction cup off of anything when engaged

5 Stars Rugged device
When mounted in my car this thing acts as if it is mounted via bolts, not suction cup to the windhshield. No vibration or slippage at all. I can press buttons without having to support the device at the same time. This thing is much, much better than anything garmin has to offer.

It’s not compact but the reach this unit offers really makes it easy to find a good position for the not so small gps underneath a sloped windshield and once installed doesn’t look too big relative to the dash of the car.

My only complaint is that removing the gps from the mount is a two hand affair, not easy at all. You have to pry the 2 wings away from each other to allow the gps to slide out of the bracket. When I want to stow the gps when parked I just remove the whole assembly from the windshield. That makes for a bit more work when setting the thing back up.

5 Stars Great Product
I like this product because it is adaptable for different bases and mounts. The suction cup holds tight and all the parts are high quality. It adjusts to different positions easily and the holder for the unit fits tightly so it won’t bounce out.

2 Stars Not for me…
The cradle cracked in half when I installed it for the first time. The rest of the kit seemed like it was very durable, so I may go with the universal RAM mount with the Garmin cradle, but this kit was not the one stop shop I had hoped it would be.

3 Stars Not as good as the Garmin cradle
I accidently got both this mounting system and the Garmin cradle (p/n 10-10495-00) made for the Garmin 2720, not realizing that I would get two different cradles. This gave me an opportunity to try both cradles on my BMW motorcycle. I like the Garmin cradle a lot better for four reasons: (1) Thanks to the Garmin cradle’s security screw, the GPS cannot be removed by the casual walk-by thief; (2) The RAM cradle is quite noticeable, but the Garmin cradle is out of the way; (3) The RAM mount clips around the GPS and will mar the finish over time, but the Garmin cradle attaches to the back to the manufacturer’s mounting points; (4) the Garmin dust cover fits on the GPS while mounted on the Garmin cradle, but the RAM cradle prevents it. To mount the Garmin cradle on a motorcycle handlebar, I recommend the RAM mount that attaches to the Garmin cradle available from GPS City (SKU RAMB149-347).

5 Stars RAM Mounting Systems Handlebar Mount for Garmin Streetpilot 2820
This mount is affordable, and excellent. It is adjustable on the fly to many angles and the unit is quickly removed from the bracket, which holds it solidly while riding. It is strong enough for me to hang my helmet on the unit if I want to run into a store quickly (thus also hiding the GPS from view pretty well). The one drawback to this mount is that the bar mounting portion is roughly an inch wide, so you will need that much space available on your bar (one of my bikes does not have that), or you may have to get creative and/or possibly sand down the sides of the plastic portion of the mount to sneak it into a narrower spot. Overall, a great product, seems very rugged.

4 Stars Great product, great price.
For the price, this is the best motorcycle GPS mount that can be had. There are other mounts that are more secure or solid, but you will pay much, much more for them.

5 Stars nice kit
I installed this mount quickly and easily and it works great. Holds my streetpilot 2820 nice and firm. The unit connects and disconnects from the mount in seconds to take with me when I leave the bike unattended.

Don’t buy the garmin motorcycle mount if you buy this, all you need is the garmin power/audio cable. I bought the garmin unit first and then realized I still needed another piece and bought this.

1 Star Wrong Item
This is the wrong description, this is not for the C310, 320, 330 or the 340. it is for the Garmin iQue 3600. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

5 Stars Great Product
I had a chance to use this mounting system the other day. It is absolutely great and is superior to Garmin’s original mount. Hooking up the DC plug to the Streetpilot mount was a snap. Remove two small screws and remount it in the same place on the RAM Mount. I strongly recommend this product.

5 Stars Great mount
I bought this mount for my Garmin Venture HC. I like RAM products. I also purchased one of the RAM 2x magnifiers which made my Venture HC usable as an auto gps. The magnifier bracket was a little tricky to get the metal rod bent just right.

5 Stars very secure and versatile mount
This mount locks down “tight” to a flat surface and feels very secure. The double ball mounts also give you the most flexibility possible in deciding how you’d like to angle and tilt the GPS with a very easy to grab and turn locking dial. Fantastic build quality and I would highly recommend. Also the base mount can be replaced with any other 1″ ball RAM Mount for mounting to nearly anything!
