Contact VV Mapping. Best out there IMO. Note that the Nuvi series are NOT waterproof, hence the use of a case. When I started using the Nuvi 55, there was only one company (in GB) that made a case for a 5" screen....and it took a RAM mount! It was cheap (IMO)...something like $35 shipped. I've used it going on 3 years with no issue. It's VERY durable......it was designed and marketed for motorcycles.
Found it: http://www.semsons.com/gnmohamocafo.html
I have the version with a little hood on top. Keeps the snow off of the screen.

Wow sounds like everyone has VV mapping wish they would expand to NY lol
I have a Zumo 660 with Redpine maps. They have NY trails, they're pretty accurate. The Zumo is a motorcycle gps, so it's waterproof. It never froze up in really cold weather. I made my own mount, to work with the garmin quick release.

X2. And it's my understanding that VV Mapping will work with any Garmin GPS. Can be installed on GPS via SD card or with Garmin's Base Camp application (free).

Magellan 610 handheld is mounted with a RAM mount. Use this unit because it has built in North America mapping that includes most of the snow trails here in Manitoba. The other big reason I use this unit is because it is one of the few units out there that has the ability to use Navionics map for my ice fishing expeditions.
