GPS mount question

Which GPS support do you use. Bought on the internet or did you make something yourself
Anyone using these? Does anyone have a picture of it on the bike and especially the back so I can see how it is fixed

I'm using the Garmin Zumo 396 - waterproof and rugged. Comes with ball mounts and clamps and a quick release so you can remove the main unit easily for safe storage. I bought it direct from Garmin.

I have the SRC Moto GPS bar mount, but found that the Zumo is a little big and I couldn't find a place where I liked it. So I put the GPS on the handlebar and use the bar for a handheld VHF amateur radio.

I'm using two of the same Android phones. One in my pocket with service for comunicating. The other one without service is in a Perfect Squeeze mount on the left handlebar and dedicated to GPS-ing.
They're loaded the same so they can be back ups each other. Takes about three minutes to activate service for the spare if I need to.

I use a cheapo phone holder (€ 20,00) with my Samsung and Google maps or Waze. On road that works perfect. I have yet to find out how to use GPS files.

SRC GPS mount this is not my bike but from the SRC website. mines pretty similar- I have an old Garmin Zumo 390 mounted on right of bar so its just above the idiot lights and does not obstruct my view.
