I've used the Garmin yoke mount on the 172 several times. No big deal
as far as the ease of mounting it. Of course with a yoke mount the
GPS moves whenever the yoke moves, it's not directly in your field of
view as it would be mounted on top of the panel, and you may not get
as much yoke travel on the flare unless you remove it prior to
landing. I'm trying to figure out how I'll mount it when I have a
yoke clip attached when flying IFR in a plane without a panel mount
GPS.

Most of the time I will use the GPSmap 196 for creating and monitoring user
waypoints - it will function as backup only in case the panel mount system
should fail.
Coming week the 196 will be installed on the yoke with either the Garmin or the
RAM mount. I will report on the outcome.
