Like the rest of the eTrex series, the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx is lightweight and compact - the perfect size for all your travels. Other Garmin eTrex Vista HCx features: Waterproof, so it can withstand the elements or an accidental dunk in water.

I hope that accessories are allowed to be discussed in this forum. I'm really sorry if I have posted on something that's not up for discussion here. I'm not sure where else to go. I've been trying to find a bike handle bar mount for my Etrex Legend HCX. I mistakenly purchased the: Garmin eTrex Handlebar Mount.from REI. The problem with this product is as you can see the battery cover that fits against the GPS is uniform on both sides where as on the Legend HCX there is a micro SD slot on the left side. Thus, it doesn't fit.

What I am trying to find is the appropriate bike mount for the Legend HCX. When I go to the Garmin site and navigate to the accessory page (click on Accessories tab), the only thing indicative of a product for bicycles is 2 rail mount adapters: I would gladly buy one of these rail mount adapters, but I don't think the rail size is my problem, and neither of these products seems to indicate that it contains a battery cover that will allow you to slide it onto the rail adapter, thus joining the GPS successfully with the bike. Does anyone have a Legend HCX bike mount?

Miktex 2 9 setup. The MiKTeX Setup Utility is used to download, install and uninstall MiKTeX using the command line. It is suitable for unattended setup tasks and can be regarded as the command line counterpart of the MiKTeX Setup Wizard.

And where did you get it from? I was going to call Garmin, but I'm afraid without links and pictures I would have a hard time explaining myself and I know there are plenty of knowledgable peeps here. Any input is appreciated! RAM mounts really are the best. But I've made my own GPS mounts when I couldn't find what I need locally or I've been too impatient or cheap to buy online. I use Shapelock plastic. First I wrap the GPS in SaranWrap (so the hot/soft plastic won't stick to the GPS), then hand-molded a thin sheet of ShapeLock around the back.

A couple of nylon cable ties to hold it onto the handelbars and a couple of fat rubber bands make sure the GPS stays secure in the mount. 15 minutes and probably less than 50 cents of material. I buy Shapelock by the kilo though because I use it for a LOT of things Edited July 10, 2008 by lee_rimar. Hi everyone, I have a Vista HCx and tried the original Garmin handlebar mount. Very weak and I abandoned it after my first ride, too much vibration and shaking during MTB practice. I don't trust such a small screw connecting the mount to the battery cover, although I always keep tethering the unit to the handlebar with a safety lanyard.

For some time I've been using the original Garmin case and connecting its belt clip to a self-made support on both my bicycles' and motorcycle's handlebars. The plastic cover makes it at times difficult to read, plus I hate the unit to shake. I've been considering to modify the battery cover by drilling and tapping extra holes to fasten a solid connecting plate, but I have instead made a case out of scrap which I attach everywhere with Velcro strap. All of my handlebars, backpacks and even car dashboards. Simple, easy to build for a cost of say $1. Very reliable under any condition and easy to get on and off.

Photo herebelow shows my first prototype which I've now been testing for quite some time. I prepared nicer ones but the prototype is still good, so I'm testing it for longevity and it hasn't let me down after a year of intense use. Should it happen, I'll just replace the velcro. If interested, please find the concept, details (including a cutout template) for case/mount and building description here: Ciao Ant.

The mount they list doesn't fit. The micro sd card slot is in the way and it is too narrow for my unit.

This bracket works for the older etrex units. I went to REI the other day and tried it out already so i was bummed and lucky i didn't buy it online before seeing it in person.

I like the flush mount that they offer but it doesn't work. Any suggestions for my bike mount?

You have to remove the bracket itself from the supplied back cover and screw it into the threaded portion on the back of the Vista. The back cover supplied is for older etrex units that don't have the screw threaded part the newer ones have. In your case you can just throw that bit away. Edited August 1, 2008 by AlunS. I'm not sure what the micoSD card slot has to do with anything. It's behind the units back cover. Not in the way at all.
