I try the cell phone thing the battery life was a big problem.
I use Ram Mount stuff from ram-mount.com. I have the waterproof box you can put any type of cheap or better GPS that would want in it's box. I start out w205 and now use the w755t I like the idea of life time traffic at no cost. It sent out FM to radio so I hear the turns. I forgot what a map looks like.

I had a Garmin 2620 that I used going across the country. It's waterproof and worked great. I hope whoever stole it from my house is enjoying it. It's an older model but they can be found at a good price and they have a nice size screen.

Cell phone battery life is not a problem. I moved the plug on my Road King up to just below the handle bars and found a curly power cable for my iPhone that is hardly noticeable. Charges it to while it's on.

Garmin Quest with a powered cradle and RAM mount and a free state map. Learn to use the "Where Am I?" feature. It will allow you to back track and leave bread crumbs. Entire rig used is about $125.00

Garmin Nuvi 205W in a Ram Mount. I don't attach the mount and Nuvi until I have a need to know where I need to go. I can use just the internal battery or hook it up to 12 volt battery connection that I also use to charge my cell phone. The charging wire from the battery hides behind my oil tank when not in use. I do a lot of PGR events around LA and TX and it helps me to find the staging areas which in most cases is the funeral home.
