Summary:
Works well

Comment:
Holds my Nuvi 765T very securely on my motorcycles.
Caution: Be very careful to remove the power cord before attempting to pull the Nuvi out. The cradle piece on the back of the Nuvi is very fragile and will quit working if too much pressure is repeatedly applied. This is NOT a flaw with the RAM mount, it is a weak design of the traffic receiver power cord to cradle interface on the Nuvi.

Very good, but not perfect

Comment:
I really like my RAM cradle for my Nuvi 765. Like every RAM product, it does what it's made to do very well.
But it's not perfect.
The 'mount' for the RAM ball is about an extra 1/4 inch away from the Nuvi for no apparent reason. I do like that the nuts provided for attaching the ball are 'anti-vibration' nuts.
My biggest nit to pick is that you have to put the Nuvi in the cradle, and then connect the power to the Nuvi, which is awkward because you can't see what you're doing to line up the power cable with the 'port'.
This bothered me so much that I 'fixed' mine by grinding & filing about 1/8" off of the cradle right above the power connector so now I can plug in the power and then put my Nuvi in the cradle.

Summary:
built tough and fits well

Comment:
The cradle fits my Nuvi 760 perfectly. That is all I want in a cradle -- zero movement of things that I put in it.
Perhaps, a bit more protection from the elements wouldn't hurt, because Nuvis are not very well sealed, but in case of a rain a simple ziploc bag pulled over the unit will protect it just fine, and the windshield does not let the bugs and debris to hit the setup, so I think I'll be OK.
