Garmin 2555LMT is $105 from Amazon

[pnelson]

I've been real happy with my Garmin 2555LMT. It has Bluetooth, Lifetime free map updates and right now, Amazon has them for about $105 with free shipping. >> http://amzn.to/1HhdWvg

For another $35 you should get the RAM mount: http://amzn.to/1qnhren and then the Glare Stomper for $17: http://amzn.to/1uFvHiO

This setup works well for me and after waterproofing as in the linked video below, it's survived several rainy rides and even me hosing it all down when I was washing the bike.

I also use a Garmin 78 for off-road tracks. Both are shown in last photo.

@ pnelson: what brand/type of silicon were you using?

Thanks

Silicone is silicone as far as I know. I used black so it would blend in with the case. Just tape off the screen well leaving a bit of open area on the edges, apply silicone and pull off tape. Best to pull the tape off before the silicone cures and hardens.

I just noticed the title of this thread and there is an error. The Garmin 2555LMT does NOT have Bluetooth. The 2595LMT does. Here's the link to the 2595LMT: http://amzn.to/1uaOLam

For those with the 2555LMT this is an excellent mount cradle. Comes with RAM ball and very secure and strong. I have one for my cell phone also. I've logged thousands of dirt/gravel/light off road miles with this mount on my V-Strom and no issues. The Strom's harsh suspension gives the mount an extensive shock and vibration test on dirt.

This inexpensive little case fits the unit like a glove and is good quality. One side has a nice pocket to hold your cable.
