GPS Units

[Bigcityd]

Can anyone advise on their experience with GPS units? Looking for a good all weather GPS unit to mount on my handlebars. Looking for advice on the pros and cons of the ones you've used or are using currently. Looking for a reliable retailer/online sales as well.

Garmin ZUMO 600 for me. Dedicated Motorcycle unit that can take (and has) days on the road in rain. Holds music (but I don't use it) and comes with a Motorcycle mount that lets you pop the Zumo right off and toss it in a saddlebag.

I tried the cheap units but if you use it for travel and you get caught in bad weather, I look at is it better be waterproof because that is probably the time I will need it most.

I have used all the Garmin Zumo since the very beginning starting with the 550, 660, and the 590 never any troubles.

I forgot the picture of my mount. I have it mounted to the bars because I wear progressive lens Glasses and that spot is perfect for me to see the GPS. The bracket is home made as the RAM mount put it a bit too close for me to see clear.

The second pic is just the mount when the Zumo is off the bike.

I use the inexpensive Garmin Nuvi models that work well. Currently I am using the Nuvi 52LM. I keep a couple of sandwich bags in the bike to use just in case I get caught out in the rain. The bag slips over the top of it to keep it dry and still allows use and operation easily. I use a Ram Mount ball on the clutch reservoir. Good Luck!

Same exact practice here... except I have a Magellan.

I bought the Garmin 2797 and it's a huge 7 inch GPS and I ran that for awhile on a ram mount on the back of my Madstad shield base. However after getting caught in a couple of rain storms unprepared I had to stop and remove the unit so it didn't get wet. I then spent the big money and bought a dedicated motorcycle unit, a Zumo 595 for $900 bucks! It's nice and I really like some of the features including the TPMS built in and the fuel monitor. It ties in the audio really easy and even does Bluetooth for my Sens headset but I wish it was bigger!...........
