I want a lanyard on my zumo

[ButterSmooth]

I installed my zumo xt today. It seems like it would be easy to lose it on the road somewhere. The scenario I envision is reaching for something in the glovebox an inadvertently dragging my forearm across the latch, loosening the unit. Then while I'm going down the road it falls off somewhere. A lanyard ring on the unit attached by a lanyard to another ring on the base would add much security.

Buy a Mounting Pad at hw store. Used to put zip ties to run cables. Just take a hair pony tail thing thru the hole

Here is a possible solution that also will give peace of mind when stopping for a head call and not having to remove the GPS. Yes, a bit pricey but the work quality is excellent. I leave my Zumo on the bike all the time except when overnighting on tour.

If something like this is available for the XT you can drill a small hole into the lower side and run some type of safety cable and maybe loosely loop it around your handlebar or something.

I have one of these on a 660 and it fits very snugly - it actually fits so tight that I put felt bits on the tabs to keep from scratching the Nav when I put it on.

$25 on eBay or Amazon.



I use the $90 "Zumo Lock" on both of my Navs - no way to push the release button with it locked.

Even more pricey, but built like a tank. Not going anywhere..
