The concerned citizen... nice touch. 
Lets cut the crap. This thread wasn't about the usefulness of GPS. Some guy had a suggestion on accessories. It's about that simple. But these threads always go down hill when the comments start coming from the peanut gallery.
No, you're not an ****. But I will say that playing the distraction card as a way to legitimize your problem with using GPS devices is lame and misleading.
Glancing at a GPS takes less concentration than having a conversation with the wife on back of your scoot; less than a lot of stuff and certainly less than text messaging or making a phone call.
lol look at your last post. "drastically important"....... See what I mean? This is really getting funny now.

I for one agree with Vic, and I say that as someone who loves his technology, it's my business, and someone who has built custom mount systems for my stuff. However after a few trips with GPS mounted, it became clear to me that it was not needed.
I have GPS in my smartphone and I am never in such a hurry I cannot stop the bike and figure it out if need be.
As for the wife talking to me when riding...damn, I don't want to talk to anyone when moving, she can talk to me when we are stopped, I enjoy the ride too much to have to carry on a conversation, and we have hand signals if it is important that we stop and talk.
I say get rid of the crap and clutter and learn to enjoy the beauty of the ride, if you want all the bells and whistles, take the cage.

I ran into a problem this past sat while trying ti find the trail of tears in waterloo,al. When I'd stop to look at my phone gps. When not moving the gps don't know which way is which and it's impossible to figure out which way this or that hiway is in relation to your location....gotta get me a mount for my gps! Took me about am hour longer to find it because of the gps orientation problem.
