Wow! Now that's a Big Screen!
Garmin Montana does the job for me. Cold weather friendly and a nice daylight viewable screen.



Garmin Amps mount can either be hardwired or a Marinco plug installed to plug into the dash power outlet.
Ram Mount attaches everything to the sled. Solid, secure, and adjustable.

This is what I have been using I like it because I can also put my phone so when I’m running sled with flasher using a 6” garmin gps,ram cradle and custom mount to the riser and hardwired in.

didn't everyone agree the best GPS was a tablet?

Give this a good read... lots of information. I have a Garmin Nuvi with VV mapping and and OSP mount (Not sure if OSP Racing still makes the mounts but It's just velcro to it. Works great and and take it with me for lunch)

My criteria, for choosing the best GPS unit, is daylight viewable without sunlight wash out, cold resistant even when not plugged in, water proof, and durable. For me, that's the Garmin Montana.

I agree with your reasoning totally, in selecting a gps. I would have had a Montana too, But prefer the pushbuttons.

Does anyone actually have theirs work in WI? I seem to never be able to get it to map right, get me on fire roads, or just be of any use other then breadcrumbs and marking our rental on a lake so we don't get lost late at night.

Just curious how you actually use them? I'm using Nuvi with redpinemapping.

I bought a big 7in screen GPS that I was going to use, but it is too big for me. Just the GPS if someone wants one I would sell for 140 bucks. I am going with a 5in screen instead.

I have used the Montana for several years now, and have been very happy with it. As you say, the elements just don't seem to affect it, and the amps mount provides me with a lot of flexibility. I have an amps mount on two different sleds, and our ATV's as well; before I sold my motorcycle, I had a mount on it as well. I have multiple maps on it, including north American streets, my local ATV trails, and my local snowmobile trails. Wherever I go, I just take my Montana with me, and slap it into the amps mount.

Here in Manitoba I use a Montana 680. I have all of our trails, Ontario trails, Saskatchewan and North Dakota trails as people have made maps and posted them. It is VERY nice to be able to see how far than next intersection or how far from gas you are when you have not been somewhere before. Manitoba's are routable which is nice as it tells me the next turn.

I agree with marty f. They should all have GPS built in. Polaris gives theirs away for free in Ride Command for your phone. It is my backup just in case.
