Sorry man. Read above, I also moved to a Garmin 755t from the Nuvi. I do not have the Nuvi hardware anymore either, but I still have the Nuvi sitting in a door. Maybe I will throw it on eBay.

It is only a few bucks extra. I am running the short arm now and it is much better!

The cool thing with the Nuvi 350 is that it holds about 2gb of MP3’s so I run a short patch cable from the Nuvi output to the Harley Advanced sound system input and whola! It is fantastic!

I just did a run up to the Sierra Nevada’s in Northern California. I would literally not have made it to and from the campgrounds from all of the rides we did without the GPS.

I don’t know how I ever got around without it!

Good Luck,

Norm

With the C330 you need to take the contacts off of the suction mount, and us the cigarette adapter cable as well. I think the cable is connected to the contacts but I do not remember. The contacts bolt onto the ram mount holder. I had a garmin friction mount setup for my car so I got an extra cable.

I ended up losing the C330. I may still have an extra cable and mount sitting around here somewhere if you are interested. Let me know and I will dig it out of the boxes

Yes when it comes to GPS, why pay more than you have to for a great unit that actually works!

With respect to the screen protectors for the GPS that I purchased, here is an exact link to the one I purchased from the vendor I purchased it from:

Make sure you give him your model number so he can give you the one that is cut for your unit.

Good Luck,

Norm

I’ve had a c330 in my car for about 6 months now and I have become pretty dependent on it since it’s so easy to use; it’s a fantastic unit. I’m now looking into a way to put it on my bike, and it seems that the RAM mount is the way to go.

The only question I have is about the power cable: When you say it has to use the “power adapter” from the suction mount, are you referring to just the cigarette adapter cable or the cable AND the charger contacts that it plugs in to? I guess what I’m asking is basically, does the RAM cradle have the contacts and the female end of the plug built into it?

Thanks again for the review — I’m now convinced that the RAM mount is the one I’m going to get.. I just wanted to know if I’m going to have to get some other pieces for it as well. But then again, as you said, the unit does have quite a nice battery life to it!!

The Garmin StreetPilot c340 leads the portable GPS Navigation systems, with text to speech capability and optional traffic alerts. ItÂ’s intuitive touch screen operation and big displays make it easy to use and see the guidance. The StreetPilot c340 is small enough to put in your pocket and is very affordable compared to larger GPS units with basically the same capabilities.
