What GPS do you have?

I have the Garmin Ledgend CX it was around 200 I think... little hand held one... I used it when I got back from my deployment to drive down from AK to Oregon over to Fargo and back up to AK... it wasn't bad... though the read out was kinda small... and you need to buy extra maps for it to be of any real use in the cities... but it was nice to see what speed I was actually going and get my true milage (my 33" tires throw my spedo off)

The ones that are specific to your car come with better maps from what I hear... Plus I like the bigger displays... I will have to halfass some sort of mount for the bike though...

I am going to make my own... or just use the clear window on a tank bag... Part of my purpose is to use it for the Cali trip... I want easy access to my GPS, iPod, and digital camera when riding... Digicam will be getting a polycarbonate, waterproof shell and will be mounted somehow to allow me to take pics quickly, easily, and safely while riding.

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.
