Garmin GPSmap 196 on Cessna 172 Yoke

Hello,

I am planning to have a GPSmap 196 in my Cessna 172 and therefore
would appreciate to learn whether somebody has mounted a 196 on a
172 yoke? If so, may I learn about the mounting gear used - original
Garmin or OEM hardware like RAM?
And how about drawbacks or pros experienced with either system?

All most ingenious, but perhaps I should point out that AFAIK you can't
buy a 196 _without_ the yoke mount being included (unless you get it
second-hand from someone who's lost the mount ;-) so there's probably no
need for the OP to start building one until he's found that the original
doesn't work.

For something like a permanent mount, or for a kneeboard, you can also
unscrew the holder part from the rest of the yoke mount and screw it to
any flat surface.
