Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable
You can install the GlobalMap on the top of a dash with the supplied
gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a
portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be in-
terested in the optional R-A-M
® bracket mounting system. This con-
verts the unit's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on
the dash or overhead mounting positions.
Installation instructions are supplied with the R-A-M mounting kits.
R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary mounts suitable for many
vehicle types. See your Eagle dealer or visit the LEI web site (
www.lei-
extras.com
) for the latest options; accessory ordering information is
on the inside back cover of this manual. For a complete look at the
many mounting options, visit the RAM web site at

Optional R-A-M mounting system.
Bracket Installation
Mount the GlobalMap in any convenient location, provided there is clear-
ance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should
also make sure there is enough room behind the GlobalMap to attach the
power and GPS antenna/receiver module cables.
A drawing on the next page shows the dimensions of a gimbal-mounted
GlobalMap. Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-
bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back
side of thin fiberglass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the
mounting hardware.
