Subject: GARMIN III GPS & Touratech holder
Hi all
I have GARMIN III GPS and just bought holder from Touratech. There was
simple manual, but only in German and I can hardly understand only several
words from it.
Holder is simple and clear. I can mount it to motocycle, I can put GPS into
it, but I am confused about wiring. My original idea was : click GPS into
holder and then put connector with 12V simply into GPS using the circle
hole in the holder.
But I have found that this hole is covered by small, U-shaped, alu-plate.
To put connector into GPS body I must either
A) remove this plate - then any operation with GPS and holder is easy. I
can click GPS into holder, then put 12V connector into GPS body --- and
everything is done.
or B) secure 12V connector between holder body and this U-shaped plate,
using two small nuts. In this case the connector is held perfectly, but any
operation with GPS - click in, and especially removing it out, is very,
very difficult.
The first way (A) would be perfect for my needs, but in the German manual I
found something about this mounting together with word "..kaput..". I don't
know German well, but I know the meaning of the word "KAPUT".
Can any user of GARMIN and Touratech help me ? May I put 12V connector into
GPS body without alu-plate and without any danger ?
Thanks a lot for any info
