What kind of GPS do you have?

[Winterfell]

Just got myself a Garmin Zumo. It's a rugged GPS made for motorcycles, designed to be operated with gloves on.

I was choosing between this one and the 60Csx, but the bigger screen on the Zumo won me over, and the fact that the Zumo makes an excellent car GPS as well - I don't want to have two separate units, having to keep them both current with maps etc.

Garmin GPSMAP 276C

Is there any other?

Haha, why was I not surprised to hear that coming from you?

iI use a handle bar mount from ebay it went right between the riser, it was 15 degrees here this weekend and I had left the crossover in the truck overnight went out turned it on, and the touch pad worked great no delay went as fast as when it is warm, I hope that it when it gets colder it still works this good

If you have the GPS hooked up to 12V when you ride, it's probably a good idea to set the backlight to maximum when it's cold, as that will warm up the screen. Not recommended when running on batteries, of course

I'm planning to get the 60CSX as well. I initially planned to mount it to the sled with a RAM Mount...then a thought occured...what if for some weird reason I get separated from the sled (Sinks in a lake) Then my GPS is gone and I have no way of giving anyione any directions as to where I am. I also only carry my cell phone in a pocket in my suit.

This is what I do with my Grmin III+. The only draw back I have is the limited memory. It will only record about 200 miles before it starts to overwrite. Im looking at the 276c

Well, you can't go much wrong with a 276/278C - probably the best GPS if you really want to fiddle with every option you can think of. Only drawbacks are the weak sat reciver (you might want to get an external antenna) and the very high-priced memory, at least in Europe. I just got a 2048Mb memory card for my Garmin Zumo for $12 - a 128Mb card for a 276 is about $200.

Old Garmin GPS-III+ WORKS!

I use two very old Garmin GPS3+ s. One on a 2005 RS Venture the other on a 2007 Phazer GT. Not the fanciest but they do work to get you unlost.

I'm using the Lowrance XOG and it works great on the sled

I've got a GPSMAP 60Cx. Same as the CSx except no electronic compass or barometric altimeter. Works great with the RAM handlebar mount.

Garmin 60Cs as well. Plus I have a older etrex Legend (non color version) that works well also.
