I use an outdated el-cheapo Garmin, tucked into a tool bag on the bars. It's actually my speedometer/tripmeter as I chunked the speedo when I went thru the bike a couple years ago. It's plugged into a power port I got from Wally and wired to the ignition switch. rain ain't a problem - just close the flap on the tool bag.

 

Yes Sir When in doubt fill it up

 

The only benefit I see from the "bike" units is that they are waterproof (which is why they cost so much).

If you don't care about that there are a few hundred different units available that you can get.

 

I use a $100 Tom Tom on a Ram mount & carry a sandwich bag & twist tie for a rain cover.

 

In before the just use a map guys.

 

I have a Garmin 1300 w/Ram Mount. Works great. It has been wet several times but still works. I usually try to cover it or take it off.

Good luck......

 

i use a Garmin Nuvi 550. I think they are around 200.00 and are waterproof.

 

Waze on the iPhone. Talking directions and she sounds just like Siri.

 

A Garmin 1350 from Amazon for 120 bucks. Ram mount and a ziplock for that wet stuff. Screw those high prices. Had ogged over 60,000 mile and no problem with it.

 

I picked up this Magellan under $100 about 2 years ago on Amazon. The pouch is magnetic and waterproof.
