But it's not waterproof like the Ram-Mount type.

Your small map will not have all of the streets in the big cities that we go.

A good affordable GPS is this Garmin nuvi 255W.

A good mount is this one made by RAM.

A good power supply (provided you have a battery tender pig tail hanging from your battery) is this one from Powerlet. Use zip ties to run it up under your tank, zipping it to existing wires. That'll also give you the ability to charge cell phones and anything else using a cig lighter charger.

They are great when data is available since its more up to date then a normal GPS but its a big issue about data service.
I have the new nokia nuron and it has free gps that does not need network
