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.
I use the cheap garmin nuvi and trash when they break.
I use a clutch mount from leadermotorcycle.com very good product,give them a look.

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've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
I have used all the Garmin Zumo since the very beginning starting with the 550, 660, and the 590 never any troubles.

Looks like the dedicated motorcycle unit is going to be the one. When I'm gone for a few weeks at a time, I need weather protection. Thanks for the tips gents.
As you can see there is quite a cross section of ideas that all seem to work as intended.
I've got a 1st generation Zumo 660 and it performs very well. It has a removable/replaceable/rechargeable battery and micro sd card which I load up with music or trips.
It's on switched power, the audio comes through the bike speakers and the Honda comms if desired, and it's mounted to the clutch lever clamp/handlebars with the provided RAM mounts.
It also came with a car mount so I simply disconnect as illustrated by DMAGOLDRDR and use it in my car.
Not sure about the newer ZUMO's but this baby came complete with wiring harness's and hardware for every scenario..... in the box.
