Garmin 200.

[gavroche]

I do not have a mount for my Garmin 200 as they are both attached to my other two bikes.
I have two questions to ask:
1- Is it possible to buy only the mount?
2- For now, if I keep the Garmin in my pocket, will it still work?
Many thanks for your considerable knowledge and useful answers.

What sort of mount? Yes you can buy the ones that go on bars or stem, or the out front ones

It's very easy to transfer either mount across, why not just do that, you are only using one bike at a time even only takes me a couple of minutes!

............just to add re keeping the Edge in your pocket, I used to try running with mine in my pocket and I found the signal dropped quite often. Think it ideally needs a line of sight towards the sky to work well.

I've put my 200 in my pocket a few times and never had that problem, my old 305 would have that problem though

Should work in your pocket.. Who knows how accurate? But will work..

On the other hand the mounts are very cheap and like someone said easy to transfer..

(if none of this works for you and you have 145 to spare I am selling a brand new 610 watch bundle)

Thank you all. I have just tried amazon and found an out front one for £6.99 so I ordered it and should be here by next Wednesday. In the meantime, if the weather improves tomorrow, I shall transfer one mount from one bike to this one.

Yes and yes.

The signal does not depend on line of sight. Same way that your phone doesn't.

Well, it did say on the instructions of my Garmin 200 that it is supposed to be mounted facing up to the sky.
On saying that, I've been walking with it in my pocket and it registered the distance and time.

Once my Garmin goes into my pocket it loses signal straightaway. When jogging I have to keep the bloody thing in my hand. A pain in the proverbial to be honest.

Maybe you can get a wrist or arm strap?

When I park the bike outside the supermarket on the way home, I take the Edge 200 off and put it in my pocket. It then faithfully records my perambulations up and down the aisles of Pershore's Asda. This demonstrates that I am an incompetent shopper and ruins the average speed for the ride. It does show that I move quickly enough in the shop to beat the auto pause function.
Except when in the beer and cider section.
