I use the custom Spot mount from RAM and attach it with the handlebar mount to the grab handle on the passenger side of my Tacoma. The unit faces up at about a 45 degree angle from the horizontal. I'm getting about (updated: near 100%) success in track mode on the trail. See photos.GunnIt said:I just ordered a SPOT. You SPOT owners that have the tracking progress option...where are you mounting your SPOT in your vehicle to achieve a good reliable signal? Any suggestions are welcome.

TheRoadie said:I bought the RAM-mount with suction cup option to stick in the corner of the windshield. RAM makes top-drawer gadgets. Not supposed to use suction cups on-pavement, though, in CA. Somebody should tell all the GPS owners who do that, if they're serious. I've got two 1" RAM balls permanently mounted on the top of my dashboard, so I should add a third one for the SPOT arm.
