After getting into a car accident over the summer I had | |
no need for my GPS until I got a new car a few weeks ago. | |
Unfortunately, I lost the mount for it that I used to | |
have. A trip to Best Buy later though, and I had a new | |
mount. | |
It was the MagicMount by Scosche, which worked by having | |
you stick a metal plate onto the back of your GPS, and | |
that metal plate stuck to a magnet on the mount. This | |
worked great. . . Until the second time I tried to use it | |
and the magnet pulled the metal plate right off of my | |
GPS. | |
After several futile attempts to get it to stick back | |
onto my GPS I decided to go another route and just make | |
my own. | |
This piece is for a pretty specific problem, but in order | |
to expand the possible range of uses, I'm uploading two | |
versions. The first is designed to simply fit onto a GPS | |
and has a blank back so someone can modify it to attach | |
to whatever they want. The other one is specifically | |
designed to attach the GPS to the clip on a magic mount | |
the magnet would normally fit onto. I have a Garmin nuvi | |
2597LMT that I used for the dimensions. I don't know | |
whether this kind of mount would work on other units or | |
not, but you're obviously welcome to try. | |
I'm also going to upload a .STP file for it too in order | |
to make it as easy as possible to modify. If you have any | |
questions or suggestions, please let me know. | |
