I saw this on ADV - A Garmin Nuvi 500 for $150. The Nuvi 500 is waterproof and has a pretty good battery life.

...I'm also planning on hard wiring the GPS directly to the battery using this power cable. Anyone know if I should install an inline power switch? I've read that some GPS units continue to draw power even when shut off.
The battery on the GPS will continue to charge while plugged in. Thus, the bike's battery will be discharged. You may wish to disconnect the plug from the GPS (and perhaps remove the GPS from the bike!) when not riding.
I am lurking on all GPS info & trying to avoid the $$$ of a Zumo 450/550 model. What are the disadvantages for MC use of the Nuvi 500 model?
I am seeing a bunch of different type mounts foe bikes on ebay. Also I will trabsfer the unit to PU/car for WS/dash mtg.
