2610 from Touratech?

[Possu]

Thinking about getting a 2610.

Looking through the TT catalogue, I see they also sell them, comes with the battery pack, 512mb card, Remote Control, Cigarette Lighter adaptor & Mapsource.

In addition, they claim to have sealed various components with resin to prevent damage from vibes.

How does this compare with buying a regular 2610 from a UK stockist like Maplins.

TT Germany want 989 Euros (about £690?) whilst TT UK want £817

Are the TT lockable mounts worth the money & how do they compare with the stock Garmin plastic mount?

Thanks

Steve

i find rage more applicable.

i have TT MvG mount. it's very nice & one of the few things that TT sell that looks as if it is worth the money asked. it does however attenuate the signal a bit from the unit's internal arial, so i use a remote antenna. it's also rather big, so tends to block more of the instruments than the RAM mount which i also have.

i never use the RAM cradle any more, but i use the adjustable RAM arm bolted to the TT mount.

very glad of the lock after some thieving french tried to pull my 2610 off last week. it's still there, my tankbag isn't.

Hi Steve,

I use the Garmin plastic mount because

- there is no damping of the internal antenna
- I do not really need theft protection because I will take my
Garmin with me if I haven't any eye contact to it
- the release mechanism can easily be locked by turning a screw
(mini screwdriver - torx- is supplied)
- it's a lot cheaper
- may not cause injuries in case of accidents

together with a bracket (please see the "brackets" thread)
in can be mounted wherever you want.

regards

Dietmar

Thanks for the replies.

I've heard of a BMW Navigator II Plus? If it exists, is it any different to the normal Nav. II?
