I'm finding that BRP connect is not all that I thought it would be, and may just use my phone and the WAZE navigation program. I'm looking for recommendations for a specific phone mount that works well on the handlebar of the Spyder RT. I'm assuming that I could keep the phone charging by connecting to the USB port in the "glove box" even if not using BRP connect.

I also have the Tackform mount from Motorcycle Dave. Works very well with iPhone. It is mounted through one of the 4 bolts on the center handle bar mount on 2021 RT. Very solid. I connect my iPhone with the USB from the glove box for charging. I use the Maps app for navigation.
Did you get a handlebar mounted model or the center mounted model? I'm not anxious to unbolt the center bolts and I guess I would lean toward the handlebar mounted one.

Not a problem to remove one bolt, as you would be replacing it with one supplied with the Tackform mount. by far the best phone mount out there, well made, solid and fits a wide variety of phone sizes. You will not be disappointed.

I used the center mounted model. As mentioned above a replacement bolt is supplied with the mount it is slightly longer for mounting the Tack form center mount.
Does the phone holder get in the way of the glove box, or block the screen at all? And I notice on the website that no prices are shown. What would that phone mount cost me?

No, it does not get in the way of the glove box. There is a long stem and short stem I used the short stem. You have many ways to position it on the center handle bar mount. As mentioned above Motorcycle Dave will fill you in on your options.

I found the best way is getting the Top Cuffs from Lamonster Garage. This way you can add additional things (water bottle, power direct to battery, etc.) as you need them.

For my plus size iPhone Pro Max and the suit of armor (Otterbox Defender case) it wears, the RAM mount large X-grip is the phone mount of choice for me. Mounted using a U-bolt, I love the versatility in positioning. The tether adds a little extra peace of mind.

Exactly the arrangement I use. The cuff and a tackform mount.

Another vote for the Lamonster Top Cuff here. Very versatile, as it can be used to hold multiple items (phone, cup/bottle holder, dash cam, GPS, etc.) That combined with the Ram X-mount has served me well for over 3 years without incident holding my plus sized Iphone.

I just ordered the short stem version. Thanks for the recommendation.

Installed the Lamonster top cuff and the phone phang. I previously ran a USB double port directly from the battery for charging, as I use the phone for music on trips.
I used the Lamonster ram mount on the center with a wireless charging capable mount from Amazon. The charging and the fact that the mount grips the phone by the 4 corners leaving the buttons accessible was the only reason I didn’t go with the tach form mount from motorcycle Dave.. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B088FNVGWP/...ing=UTF8&psc=1
Not sure what year you RT is but on a newer one I use this $20 mount. I have tried a few and I like this one. One of the issues with some of the others is that they cover or hit the buttons on the side of the iPhone. I can have my phone attached and locked in in seconds with this.
I have tried the 1. X mount, 2. Track form and 3. The new Quad mount. My favorite to date is the Quad mount.
2+ for the quad mount. check it out prior to purchasing the track mount. Not trying to discourage business from a forum sponsor but take a look at the quad mount system prior to making your purchase decision.
