Motorcycle GPS

Anyone used a non-motorcycle GPS such as a Garmin NUVI 200 series? I know they are not waterproof but I wonder how well they stand up to vibration.

Don't worry the vibes.

I'm using one of these, works great and is a nice size and for $108 from Amazon plus the mounting device was about $45, what's not to like.

Me too, I use an automotive style Garmin Streetpilot c580. I'm just careful about getting it too wet.

I have a Nuvi 260. Got it on sale at Costco for $119. Bought a ram mount and its working great. I hard-wired it to the accessory switch to power and charge it while riding, have no regrets so far.

I use the Nuvi 200...no problems...gets me where I want to go.....serves the same purpose as the $600 models. No vibration problems. I am very satisfied.
