FYI, I used a thick rubber mouse pad cut to size between mount and dash for vibration. Works perfect. I got mine off of Amazon too. Low profile and can roll your sled over with no worries.

Thank you.
I run a garmin nuvi 1490 with vv mapping. Works great. I also have a garmin nuvi 2557 LMT with all cables and a ram mount style dock case i would consider selling. Its not even a year old. Used for 3 days only. Very nice unit. Contact me if interested in the 2557lmt and accessories.

Love the Garmin Montana 600t. Easy to learn.

Good to hear. The older garmins weren't always intuitive to use

Got a discount from garmin last winter when my 276c crapped out on me, water got in to it and garmin said they do not
fix the old units. They took 20% off a new one and I went with the Montana 600t.
I found that when I load the sled maps and have the road n have topic maps on when u zoom in the topic map does not work
until u zoom back out. Have never called garmin to see if there is a fix to it. I always like the roads on it so u can get a better
idea were your at. If you would find some way to make them both work would like to know.

You mean topo? I can't find a topic map. I know what your saying about more info the better. What mounts you using? I ordered the Garmin Amps rugged mount with power/audio cable and hardwired to sled along with the Ram handle bar mount used together.

ya topo maps, i bought the ram mont but sent it back and bought the marine mount.
I have it mounted behind my handelbars. I know the new ski doo have a place right in the dash to mout it.
I have the vent bag in front for goggles and gloves so it would b hard to mount there.
I always had my 276 mounted in front of my tach seedo but changed it last year so i could see them.
Remounted it on my handle bars and after my 3-4 rollover snow got up under the film of the screen
and in the unit.
I have been playing around with it to find the best spot and wont get screwed up when i roll the sled ove.
I also have it wired in to the sled off the *** plug under the hood.

I use Ram mounts. This one is rock solid: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-231Z-2-DEL1U
I have also mounted it directly to the dash using this base: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-202U
For me, because my unit's screen is so small, I like the handle bar mount better, only because it's closer.
On the Garmins:
Can you create custom maps? Can you create maps from recorded tracks?

Yes. There are free and not free programs out there that will do so.
