Hopefully a couple of different things from RAM Mount will work to kind of adapt the Oregon to the Pro-fit mount. We will see. I will post up whatever I end up doing.

The bicycle mount's only $10 on Amazon, which is a plus: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-010-110...3459470&sr=8-1

You'll probably want a power cord too, so you don't have to use batteries while driving around in the car... I bought the Garmin vehicle mount kit which comes with a cig-lighter adapter ($30 for the kit, $17 for just the power adapter ), but I <think> most mini-usb power cords will work. The Garmin one turns on the GPS immediately when you power up the cig lighter, a "standard" one will put it in data mode for like a minute first and then power into GPS mode (my father-in-law has an Oregon 300 too, and he has a generic cable from Radio Shack which does this).

Well...I ended up canceling my order. After 2 1/2 weeks they sent me an email saying it was backordered, which was kind of frustrating. Also, it turns out I'll be going on a 10 day backpacking trip down in Peru with some buddies, so the money will be better spent there. Hopefully some useful information came out of this thread, sorry I won't be able to give any info on the PN-60!

It's an omen... you'll have to get an Oregon now
