 |
|
can I use my bean bag mount with 770? (I don't like window sticker types and I have two vehicles)
Because of poor reception due to large overhang on my motorhome I use an external antenna - does the nuvi have an external antenna socket? |

Bean Bag Mount - if it fits why not?
My 760 has an antenna connector on the back. Gold connector bottom right. However the 7xx have a highly sensitive receiver so you many not need one. My old i3 struggled for reception outside if i was too close to the house, but the 760 can get a signal in my lounge well away from windows and surrounded by thick walls.... |

What's the right handed gizmo?
Try Amazon, Handtec, Maplin, Argos..... Prices chanage all the time and P&P can affect the price so have a shop around. I bought my 760 from Handtec. |

"What's the right handed gizmo? "
Sorry, a right angled kind off ball and sosket bracket, that enables the 770 to be fixed to a bean bag mount? |

Have found a more basic fitting with bracket I need.
from gps warehouse, Part Number: 010-10747-02 @ £15
I resent paying this for 10p worth of plastic. and it should be available for units designed for US use as some states do not allow window fixings |
