Yeah, what brand/model? Does it work well?

I figured this would be a fitting place to start in this sub-forum... Plus I'm looking to buy one in the near future and want to hear other people's experiences.

and this mount




it's called the ram mount and plugs into your steering head opening

I have a Mio can't remember the model but it's the largest one and I got it at Radio Shack for $200. t doesn't have all the features of the more expensive units but it has a very large screen,redirect,poi,it's updatable from their website,it charges from either usb or the supplied car charger,mp3 player...and a bunch of other crap that I'll never use. I liked the large color display and the price.

I am thinking about just getting the cheapest one I can find... Text to speech, MP3 player, all that other shit... I just need to be able to map my rides, find my way around if I get lost, and track goofy stats for my enjoyment (average MPH, etc)...

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

I won't waste my money on one then. Don't do enough long trips or anything.

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.
