Garmin C550 accesories

[1joeranger]

Got a Garmin 550 off of fleabay last night for $38.59! Now I am looking for handlebar mount and a waterproof container although I think someone mentioned that they are waterproof!?

 

Thanks All!!

Is it Garmin Zumo 550 then it is made for a motorcycle and its waterproof. If not go to http://www.ram-mount.com/ or http://www.gpscity.com/ for mounts and waterproof cases.

The StreetPilot C550 according to the Garmin site is not waterproof. A baggie will take care of that in the event of rain. Ram makes mounts for that unit.

GPS City may have them a few $ less.

Garmin also makes a handlebar mount for the Streetpilot c550. I think the Garmin Zumo will work also. I believe they're both a 17mm ball. I picked up a garmin mount for about 6-7 bucks on Ebay. Ram's are nice mounts but for those of us that are 'thrifty' is hard to beat the Garmin.

I was looking at the aqua boxes by RAM http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogResults/PartDetails/tabid/63/partid/082065077045066045049052057090045065081054085/Default.aspx but I think the streetpilot is a little to thick for em?!

The C550 is very thick. It has a humped back on it and I doubt that it would fit in an aqua box. Evan is using a C550 and really likes it. He just removes it when it rains but I believe if you needed it on a trip while raining you could just bag it. I believe Mother has one as well. They can be wired so that you can hear the instructions through your speakers.
