Requirements:

All you need to do is to remove the OEM cradle from the original yoke mount (or buy a spare from Garmin) and attach it to the mounting plate (matching holes) with the enclosed screws and bolts.

Benefits:

- Rugged but lightweight construction

- Sticks reliable on any smooth and clean surface (aircraft, car, boat) even on bent Plexiglas (if radius is not to narrow)

- Secure "heads-up" location will lessen the danger of inattention or disorientation
- Reduced chance of flying off course, while trying to program a yoke-mounted GPS.

- No need for an external antenna any more (in most cases)

- Developed by a pilot for pilots, after his bad experiences with a Ram Mount (black rubber suction cup)

GPS Suction Mount & Quick Release Head - GPS695

In the time it takes to unravel your headset,
your portable, large-format GPS will look like
a fixed addition to your panel instrument array

Imagine the joy of that joystick when it isn't dancing around in the yoke. How soon will you whack it with your coffee mug, or drop your headset on it, when it's strapped to your leg? A BIG display in a small confine will get in the way of your hands, your elbow, your... uh... belly.

Just because you bought a large-format display, you shouldn't be punished for your act. Give that respectable navigation tool a deserved place: in line with your panel instruments. At the same time, you'll turn your portable, large-format GPS into a heads-up display!
