Can Garmin 500 be mounted on quill stem?

I am interested in buying the Garmin Edge 500 but wondered if it can be mounted on my road bike's quill stem. Does anyone know? Is there an accessory for it?

Thanks.

Yes. The included handlebar/stem mount comes with elastic bands to fit a variety of stem shapes and diameters. Quill vs. threadless should not matter in the least.

I have one on my Nitto stem right now. The mount comes with two pairs of elastic bands, and the smaller pair work fine on that stem.
