I bought the Garmin 755t on Costco.com for $225 shipped, and it works great, especially with Streets and trips, and it is one of the 12 Garmin models that accept downloadable customized maps using Mapsource or Streets and Trips.
But it is not waterproof (plus no XM and limited to 10 custom downloaded routes, though there is an easy work around: load them onto an SD card and import them as needed, erasing the ones you no longer need). Costco's sale ends in January, but Amazon also has them for $200 with free shipping.
Here's the solution for making the 755t waterproof and mounted on your FJR: an aluminum, lockable, waterproof RAM mount case. I would mount mine to one of those ram mounts that installs on my Heli Risers, or they make adaptors to install on your clutch cover. The case runs about $70.
So for under $300, you have an excellent GPS that accepts downloadable routes from online and Streets and Trips. Plus, it comes with a GTM 20 car charger, which has a built-in, free lifetime traffic antenna to spot traffic and reroute you around it! You would have to either plug it into the FJR's cigerette power adaptor, or like me, consider rigging up a direct wiring alternative.
If you don't need XM, this is a killer deal.
