GPS's are plug and play, right? You just have to enter the coordinates and you're good, right? Don't have to pay a fee or anything?

no no fee... but you may have to buy maps... err you WILL have to buy maps eventually... so you stay up to date... but like my little E-trex Legend you may need maps to see anything other than a freeway

yeah really I don't even need one... a map in the tank bag is all I'd need... or even just a note with the roads to watch for... (I always carry a map though) but I got it for wheeling... and I can upload my routes and post them... so i'll use it for the blog comp.

I used my gps just today,it's a Mio C320 btw and I put it in my tankbag. Plus,I have an earbud I got at radio shack so I can hear the directions. A good mount system is made by Saeng/Ta. They make one for every bike and mine will take two items,ie; radar and phone,radar and gps,gps and camera, etc. Btw2 didn't I mention that the gps I have has an sd port so you can download mp3s and leave your Ipod at home. It interupts the music to give you the next direction. Pretty cool display that's 2 1/4" X 4" which you can toggle between direction,poi,song title/list,etc. My biggest problem with it is the lack of batt. life but you can wire a cigarette lighter style recepticle to your batt and use the car charger on your bike. I hope this helps.
