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.

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.

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.

This RAM heavy duty mount with cradle has a powerful suction cup which will fit on any flat surface . Mount will swivel so GPS can be on an upward position regardless of mounting position. Allows space for electrical connection.

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!

5 Stars Great antenna – fixed my Nuvi 350 reception problem
My Garmin nuvi 350 received satellite signals fine at first, then later (months after) started have trouble acquiring satellites and sometimes lost them for long periods of time. I did a little research and it seems possible that there is a problem that can occur where the GPS thinks an external antenna is attached when it isn’t (due to a defective or failed part). Plugging this antenna into my Garmin has so far completely resolved the reception problem. This antenna seems well built and designed and the reception seems excellent too.

5 Stars Perfect for me
I needed an external antenna because the best place to mount my Garmin C330 is in the ash-tray space under the radio in the center console. I never got great reception with the GPS largely shielded by the dash. This antenna immediately and dramatically improved the strength of my GPS signal – from 1 bar in my driveway to 5. I no longer loose a signal in heavy woods or in cities. Best of all, this product came with the suction-cup mounting bracket, though the strong magnetic base on the Gilsson sticks to parts of my dash without the bracket. Best of all, I can now keep the GPS out of sight, and the antenna removes in 1 second when parked and can also be kept out of view.

I have no experience with the similar Garmin antenna, but this one provides me with a full 5-bar signal strength everywhere I’ve tried it.
