I'm using my Garmin etrex Vista HCx. It's small, but you can program your routes into it and fits great in a Ram mount on the center stem. I didn't want anything bulky and of course running on 2 AA bateries, no wiring necessary!
...Does the Ziplock bag work?

Sport,It has been used numerous times in some extreme weather and has NEVER had a problem.
Only about 7 months/3,000 miles. That's the first I've heard of that. No matter, I have a warranty that is good for another couple years, let it break...I'll get the Zumo next time. The old C330 Street Pilot was on for several years and never broke. Just wanted to up grade. Thangs that make you go Hmmmmm?Sport,It has been used numerous times in some extreme weather and has NEVER had a problem.
How long (miles/time) have you used the 780 on the FJR? One of the arguments I read against the Nuvis is vibration shortening their life.

Do you offer a class on MAPs I've heard that they have all sorts of physical problems - the display tears, their not waterproof and they don't auto-route.those "old school" things they call a MAP.
I liked that one too. Did that come with a wiring harness to hook right to battery? if not what did you do? was it difficult.I run with a Garmin Nuvi 500... It is waterproof and easy to read. It also does not impair my ability to see my gauges when riding. I have it on a center stem mount and it works great. The feature I like the most is the little window that tells me what the posted speed limit is!Thanks for ideas i do want water proof. I looked at Garmin site and thought a Nuvi 500 or 550 looked good. Both are waterproof. anyone familiar with those. Like $250 on some sites. I want to mount it with a tech mount to center stem. So the bag idea is out. but good to know if i ever change my mind.
