For those of us that have a GPS mounted to the sled, show us how you did it
I used a RAM mount with the U-clamp ball on the bar. I used a GILSSON 12-30V DC Hardwire Cable from GPScentral wire to my battery. It provides power though the mini USB connector which is so common on many devices now, so I can also use it to charge cell phones and cameras.
At first I had the mount turned up high to be more in my line of site but it was kinda of freaking me out (felt like I was going to hit it with my helmet). I also found with it that close to me, it was hard to quickly refocus from the trail to the GPS. I had to move it a but further away, so I turned the mount forward on the bar (so it was not pointing up).
I was also concerned with rolling the sled in the hills and damaging/loosing the GPS or mount. I found I could just swivel the GPS around the bottom (without moving the mount) and locate it under the bar where it is very protected.
