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.

Any suggestions?
 
where would you buy one from?
Because looking at all of those are more expensive than the Voyager.

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.
 
hmm interesting...

Whats so bad about TrailTech??? It looks to be a big size, and its got plenty of features///
 
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.
 
Montana with the bike mount(which charges as well as locks down unit)

I got a 600 unit and it has been great.
 
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.
