What is the best GPS for ATV riding in the mountains? Something that can be mounted to a quad or razor? Does anyone have any suggestions?

The Oregon GPS is a nice unit, fairly light, easy to read, user friendly and easy to navagate buttons. If your looking for a unit to use more detailed maps this unit is not for you. Its difficult to download maps from Terrain Navagator Pro and will only hold so many. If you are just going to use the Garmin 24 maps on the unit, which will cost you more money to purchase then I recommend this unit. If you like to fiddle alot with the unit be warned it uses up a lot of battery power so carry extras with you. I purchased the Oregon 550 and altho I do like it I wish I had spent the extra money and bought the 550T series or the Montana 650T. Hope this helps.

What are the best apps for flying and walking/hiking? I use copilot for driving but will be flying tomorrow and was hoping to follow the route if I can enable it in flight.

Thanks! I will check out the bad elf gps receiver, maybe it would be worthwhile for my ipod 4g.

Deanna, the subject back track/hunt track device is a VERY good device, especially in the WOODS or on a HIKE. I am very familiar with different kinds of GPS devices and the ONLY reasonsome are Un-happy with it, is that the USE of this device is Different than a CAR GPS for example!

While I am still getting used to this system I was shown the other day at a geocaching meeting how to enter coordinates so if you were hiking you could enter the coordinates for where you wished to hike, but it will only show you how to get there "as the crow flies". It's not like a regular GPS in your car that follows roads & highways. May not be suitable for hiking because of this.

I am also looking for the best unit; especially for rural areas as we do a lot of hiking. We have been depending on cell phone GPS navigation but it sure doesn't work well in the Far West nor on a recent hiking trip to the Great Smokys and Blue Ridge Mountains. I am thinking of the Garmin nvi 2797LMT 7-Inch or the Garmin nvi 3597LMTHD 5-Inch. Not sure what one I will pick but there are 100's to choose from and reviews are all over the place. Wish Amazon provided for comparisons. Try Best Buy for details, they do a much better job of showing all features and allow comparisons. Then search the web for that unit and get the best price (not always on Amazon).

I wish i knew of one, because i am looking for a way too.. I have placed a mount on my ultra, but you can hardly see the screen, and you cant hear the thing either... Of course they want an arm and a leg for a motorcycle gps, but i would not buy one until i see one work..

You can look on Rocky Mountain atv.com. They have one. This is a good helmet.

No GPS. No Strava. I've been using my Rox 5.0 for over a year and I'd buy it again.

IF your console allows...flush mount is much cleaner and 'out of the way'! Bow mout is only advantageous while on the trolling motor...this GPS unit is better suited for the operator while under way. In my environment-saltwater...idiotic!!! Get a less expensive unit for bow mount unless you can afford two 898ci HD SI! John Castelluccio, Jr.

I doubt it. There is no built in gps like more expensive models have. I use on my kayak.

Yes, gives you both.. GPS is actually quite good, didn't expect that. But I guess finding updated maps is not easy? If I ever run into anything that won't navigate then I just go to my Galaxy S4 with Waze or whatever... It works almost all the time for me. It's a very nice unit for the price.. I was a little skeptical on a PA system like this but the sound is very good, bluetooth works flawless (phone and streaming Pandora, Slacker, music player, etc), playing movies (AVI mostly).. Video quality is excellent. Most pro installers will charge you a lot to put this in because they are not use to it, plain and simple. It's not hard at all but I would recommend installing yourself. I had to cut a slightly larger hole where my old Pioneer Avic-1 was installed.

Do either of these units have a useful elevation feature. We drive in mountains often and like knowing current altitude (elevation). Thank you

There are several manufacturers that make GPS's that are suitable for hiking. Of course they all come with different looks, features and price tags. My advise is to decide what features you need in a GPS, what features you want in a GPS and how much you are willing to pay. Do some research on the web and remember that some claims and review's tend to "stretch" things. Then go to an outfitter who carries the model you like and look it over. Do ask the salesperson to let you do functional check and see if it is really is as good as advertised.
