Kuda vs OEM GPS mount?

What's the consensus for ease of use/install here at NAM?

I'm planning on concealing wires too...

The OEM mount as-is won't fit widescreen GPS units like my Garmin Nuvi 680 versus the 360 that Mini branded. Not sure I've seen anyone retrofit the tach OEM mount to work with larger GPS units.

I chose the Kuda dash mount. Easy to see and reach while driving.

Ok - question answered I guess as I'm getting the Nuvi 760...

I'm assuming the upper dash mount is preferable to the lower speedo mount due to line of sight and fingertip usage?

Might want to check out Cravenspeed's Nuvi mount.

Couldn't find any applications for the R56/55 - is it the same as the R53?

Got any pix?

Mounts to the back of the speedo or tach on top of the steering wheel column. You can get it for the left or right, I have mine on the left. Don't have a pic but I'll try and get one tommorrow and post it up. E-mail them about the R56 I'm pretty sure they have it sense the guy who told me about it has a R56, their real nice folks. Quality stuff too.
