I want to buy one of these too.
I guess they don't have voice or points of interest like the automotive units do?

No voice, but they do show points of interest, if you have maps that have points of interest.
You might consider the Legend HCx too. A little smaller screen but a lot less money, and otherwise pretty comparable.

Check out tigerGPS. Just ordered 60CSx for my brother. $359 delivered and a $50 rebate. End price $309.
As for riding with it, I've been using a gps with a ram mount for the last five/six years. Ram mount goes forward off my mountain strap.
And the garmin topo is pretty good for the UP. Covers the majority of logging/fire roads and power/gas lines.

Excellent GPS choice!!
I have the slightly older 60c...I've had it for 2-3 years now and never a problem.
Make sure to get the Topo maps to load on it. The level of detail is incredible....very accurate.
Don't worry about getting the sled trails, as they tend to change from year to year, and would quickly become outdated. Not too often do you need a GPS in order to follow a clearly marked trail.
I use a set of rechargable NiMH batteries and they easily last all day in the cold.
Make sure to get a Ram mount.

Sweet thanks, Me and my dad are going to use it, it just would be nice to know the roads if the trails are beat up, or we have a emergency. I like going on the back trails and getting myself lost. lol

Not sure, think some share, but trust me the vvmapping is great, i actually got a e-mail from the owner for updates today. He's cool to work with, hes sending me a micro card updated already, all i have to do is send the old one back. Good deal huh? The mapping is great, and its cool to zoom in like 800 feet and see urself moving on the trail,and seing the big turns coming even before the signs tell you.
