RE: who uses which GPS?

Just got the Garmin Zuma 450, haven't really tried it yet on a long trip, but the screen is nice and large and the buttons are easy to use with gloves. The mount is alittle big and has to be hard wired but other than that I like Garmin products for ease of use.

RE: who uses which GPS?

I got a Magellan last summer for around $200. I figure that if it fell off the bike or was stolen it wouls suck but not be a big deal. I didn't like the thought of hanging $600 off the handle bars. Plus electronics like that usually have prices fall like christmas trees on the 24th.
I think my next GPS will be in my phone.

RE: who uses which GPS?

I have owned a Garmin 2610 for five years. Swap it out between the bike and cages. Never had a problem.
If I were upgrading I would go with the Zumo 450 or 550, because they are suppose to be more biker friendly.
