I am man enough to admit that I get lost easily. That being said I would like to get a GPS unit on my bike; however, I do not want to spend a lot of money on something like a trailtech unit.
Hi i have a Garmin GPSmap 78cs. Its waterproof (floats!!). Montana has a bigger screen but is a lot more expensive. On top of the purchase price you still have to buy your maps.
I know of one person with a trail tech. For me, too small, not enough features, not something you switch from bike to bike or car or for hiking etc. don't really know much about them but the guy I know fiddles a lot with his.
Garmin Montana.. Below is the mount I made.. Anti vibration mounts ~ $5.00 for 4.. $3.00 in aluminum.. Few dollars for nuts & bolts.. Total ~ $12.00..
Previously on my Garmin V and then my Garmin 276C I always used Touratech mounts.. I needed something very secure for off-road single track riding.. For me it wasn't about the bling factor and I was ok with the price because they were bought used from Ebay (about $50.00)..
But with the Garmin Montana the AMPS mount was said by others to be very secure.. And was still needed even when used with the Touratech mount (~$200.00).. Since the Montana is relatively new not many used Touratech mounts were being sold on Ebay.. But I wanted some anti-vibration damping to protect the electronics.. So I made a couple of these..
When single track riding often don't re-look at my gps until the end of the trail.. My heavy duty tether in case it wants to go walkabout..
Just and FYI.
Garmin considers the 60CSx obsolete. Their new connect system does not support it.
I have one and it is a great system, would be even better with connect.
