Does anyone have a good set up for mounting a power supply and gps on the Hawk handlebar? I am going to use a Garmin2555 GPS. I also have an old Nuvi Mio. Thanks for all your help China Riders!

Why not Google Maps or Waze? With smart phones, I don't see the need for a dedicated GPS unit except for when driving my Class A motorhome as I can't find any app that takes into account the height, weight, and turn radius of the motorhome.

Up here in the Dark corner of South Carolina their are many places a data signal for the phone is unavailable. google maps seem to need data and location to function properly. Dark Corner is what they called the upstate area during and after the civil war. Home of defectors and moonshiners....and anyone else that didn't want to be found.

Haven't seen anyone else post about this, but I also wanted power for my phone / GPS and here's how I did it.

Part on Amazon Here.
