Thanks for posting this. I just ordered a Nuvi 2589LMT from Newegg they have on sale.

Is this the angled RAM mount you used?

Thanks again

Yes, that is the angled base.

Thanks

Sorry to drag up an old post, but someone had asked about a Chinese version of the GPS. I have been looking at these, but have not pulled the trigger on one yet. The two that I know of that you can see some reviews on are a 4.3 inch model that runs Windows CE and can be found under the brand name of Fodsports. The second one can be found by searching for MT5001 and is a 5 inch Android model that runs an older version of the OS called Kit Kat. The manufacturer has been promising an upgrade to version 6 of the OS from the 4.4 it currently runs, but nothing has happened in over a year. So it is anyones guess how long before that model gets the update.

Some report these units are slow. I have seen reports that you can upload basecamp maps to it and with a couple of simple tweaks they work. I would love to see someone actually running it on the bike and showing it in action. One guy does a review of the 4.3 inch Windows CE version but doesn't show it in action.

So reviews are mixed. So that leaves me trying to decide between a cheap water resistant Android phone or giving one of these a shot.
