Magellan does not have any in stock, anyone know of any web dealers that
have one?
THX in advance

RAM Mounts has a nice cradle and mounting system for that:

http://www.ram-mount.com/gps_mounts.../ramb101ma4.htm

Go back and start here and you can use a wizard and tell it where you
want to mount it and what you want to mount:

http://www.ram-mount.com/

Good stuff, very rigid, quickly removed, etc.

Jack THX for the reply but RamMount does not supply the cradle, only the
parts that attach to it.... I have on order Ram Mount handle bar
components for my motorcycle but without the cradle I am screwed

I cannot recommend to anyone to buy this Magellan product:
spare parts are unavailable
the maps do not display town names(totally inexcusable IMO)
some really bizarre routing sometimes (especially highways in
Canada)firmware 1.72 installed
I had hoped that the 2200T would make for a great motorcycle
GPSr...water resistant, priced right,large battery capacity, touch
screen etc....with the advent of the cheaper Garmin Zumos, thats where I
am heading...no Magellan goat hunts on this one...straight to Garmin!

Write them in Hindi, maybe they will get more notice.

Thanks for pointing that out Paul. I had missed the point that the RAM
mount just attaches to the Magellan cradle. I'm using a couple of
Garmins that snap into cradle that RAM makes for them.

Have you checked Magellan's Web site? They have several accessories for
the 2200T - http://www.magellangps.com/products/accessories.asp

I had the same problem. The cheap little plastic clip that you press to
release the cradle from the unit broke. In order to replace it, I had to
buy the entire cradle and mount assembly for (I think) $40. Maybe if enough
people complain about it, they'll either make the part better or at least
offer only the weak part as a replacement. I raised heck with them and
tried to get them to replace it under warranty since the part is obviously
defective (poorly designed), but got nowhere.
