Whichever model you choose, don't believe them 100%....unless you like driving up or down peoples drives :-)

I only put the GPS on when I go on long trips, like it close to the grip so it is easy to touch.

128 do you usually ride with the GPS up by the grips or down by the speedo?

Btw, I can't stand for any display smaller than 4.x inches, hard to see on the bike.

The Zumu is 3.5" and I find it is just fine. No problem seeing it, on the bike or in the car.

Garmin

I have a Garmin StreetPilot 2820, my mount was obtained from Mount Guys, and I purchased the motorcycle power/audio cable that goes with the Garmin. The power/audio cable has a fuse in its line so I was able to connect it directly to the battery. The StreetPilot has bluetooth technology and I have a Scala Rider Q2 on my helmet that allows me to here the directions without wires.
