Magellen Crossover on motorcycle

Any one using a Crossover on their motorcycle. I now own a Roadmate 1412 and
just purchased a Crossover on ebay because it was said to be able to be used
on a motorcycle. With out having it in my hands just yet I'm not to sure I
like what I see, as far as how the mount goes to the unit its self. I'm
judging this by what I already own, the 1412 mounting system.

I did some searching and found the Ram mount to be a favorite, but even
though it looks like it's very secure to the handle bars, and the mount its
self is heavy duty, I'm not to sure of how secure it mounts to the unit its
self. I'm only saying this sense I don't think I would trust the snap on
mount that is used on my 1412, plus the way the mount slides to the mount
that snaps to the GPS, it looks like a big pot hole would cause it to come
out of either the PGS slide mounts, or un snap from the GPS its self.

Can anyone give me a example of using this GPS, the crossover and a Ram
mount on their bike and assure me it won't un snap, or bounce off when
hitting a deep pot hole?

Maybe you should have asked BEFORE buying something new..........

IMHO, the only safe way to use a GPS on a bike is to get one that has an
earphone jack, "mount" it in your jacket pocket and listen to the
instructions via an earphone, and/or stop and take it out when you really
need to look at it.

Regardless of the mounting system, trying to look at the screen while moving
is a distraction you really don't need.

concern of loosing my GPS, your answer was not usuful.


So anyone using any type of GPS device in a car should not use it
either, like my Magellan Sprotrak pro I used for, oh, a few years on
my bike but wanted something with turn by turn directions instead of
looking at angle of turn and distance to waypoint. Like my Roadmate
1412 I use in my car but not meant for a motorcycle.

Read the question and answer it, OK?

I'm new to this group if your a regular seems I'm out for a few more useful
answers too!!!!!!!!

Sorry you take offense at valid advice, offered in good faith.
A bike is different than a car.
I have been riding 44 years accident free and I intend to keep it that way.
It is my opinion that having a GPS on the bars is a potentially dangerous
distraction.
Your opinion may be different.
Neither is "wrong".

I asked for a answer to a legit question, and yes I got a bit snappy about
it I didn't want any more answers like it. Nothing I hate worse is a long
winded thread with advice, and no legit answers. Ever do a google search and
find your self reading nothing but advice and wading through a bunch of shit
not to find what you need. I have to many times so I get a bit snappy at
advice.
