I have a Garmin GPSMAP76S. I made a custom bracket and power supply to use on my snowmobile but on my '84 Aspy I just slide it under the "straps" on the left side pocket cover. I thought about attaching a RAM mount to the right side pocket and using the power cord but changed my mind because the internal batteries last quite a while in warm weather.
The GPSMAP76S is one of many units which can store street level maps. Mine only holds 8mb of data - that's enough for about 1/2 of my home state of Michigan...as long as it's not the half with Detroit! (big cities take up lots of memory). Most newer GPS units have more memory or accept flash memory cards to eliminate the map storage problem.
I get a lot of use out of my GPS. I can download track logs of my trips and display them on a computer, etc. The better half and I also enjoy geocaching. Check out www.geocaching.com for more info on that.
