Default What's The Best Value on a GPS?

I'm considering a GPS and wondered which model is the best bang for the buck?

I carry a woman on the back, and she'll ask for directions if I need them.

Yeah but a woman will cost more than any gps out there!

The zumo looks to be the best out there but its not cheap, DO NOT buy a gps directly from the garmin website you will save alot of money if you search the internet first. Some good cites are gpscity and getfeetwet if you get the zumo it looks like you would not need to purchase anything else it comes with mounts for car and bike along with associated power cords where as alot of other units they are to be burchased seperately.

I really like my Garmin quest Harley Edition. Best feature is having the Harley dealers directory at a buttons touch. Screen comes up with the closest dealers name, address, telephone number and directons. Unit has a 20 hour back up battery, automobile power and windshield or dash mounts are available.

Stay away from the harley dealers fairing mount system (manty problems) but you can go to garmin.com for handlebar mounts and accessories.

I added TeleNav (GPS) to my Blackberry for $9.95 a month.

I have a handlebar mount on the way. I'll post how well it works after it arrives.
