Reviews
Not installed yet, but will definitely meet my needs.
Very esay install Well made and a classy addition to the panel
Works great--- this is the 5th one I have used over the years.
Perfect. Using with angled mount. Looks sharp and professional.
price right and fast delivery
Professional panel mount for Garmin GPS that is suitable for my Avid Mark IV experimental aircraft.
Looking for deck map mounts for Rand McNally GPS
Good quality build - flawless in fact, all mounting hardware supplied. I was surprised to find the face wasn't perfectly flat to allow a true flush-mount. Only 4 stars because the price is a little higher than it needs to be for a plastic shell, even though the quality is great.
