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.

Hi, The options for this GPS are amazing. I only use as a backup to navigate on the water and it never fails me. Topography is not something that I have ever used the Garmin Montana for. I hope my answer helped. Capt. M. Price

Has anyone used the Dakota 20 for touring? Or any Garmin unit for that matter. I'd be interested in your experiences. I'm leaning towards the Dakota for a number of reasons (Battery type, battery life, price, features) I don't need a heart rate/cadence monitor(s) I just want directions but I also don't want to be directed on to a freeway on ramp by some piece of misguided software.

The V on the end of a US/Canada 500 series cam means it has GPS. I have a CX500V; it definitely has the GPS feature.

Yes we have used it on wilderness biking routes. The Magellan has a better algorithm for showing altitude than the Garmin and is generally pretty accurate.

Having used a variety of GPS units over the Past 15 years. I would say the Garmin RV 760LMT was better than anything else I have used in the Motorhome. It went ways I hadn't thought of and made my life better. Like anything it is a tool and it is not perfect.

Thanks a lot. It's helpful but I already bought it. I want it for trekking and have never owned a GPS of any sort before so I suspect I'm in for a lesson or two! i guess I'll return it if it doesn't measure up.

I need recommendations for best and simplest to use GPS navigator. I need accurate mapping all over US, voice interactive, ways to find campgrounds, gasoline, laundromats, restaurants. What accessories are critical. How about warranty? Where is the best price?

One more thing - a golf GPS? Have you gotten lost playing golf? Not a golfer, but sounds dangerous!! :-)

I think the garmin topo maps are just OK. Not enough detail for me. They show BLM land, but not enough trails for me. I ride dual sport off road. I purchased the DeLorme Topo v.10. Much better. Every trail, every view, great routing resources. Don Taylor, Chandler, AZ

I drive truck, but still use an auto GPS. I was considering upgrading to a truck model before Christmas, but the prices for them wasn't discounted much. I did do a bunch of research, though. From everything I read, it sounds like none of the models are perfect, and some are a waste of money. The one that seems to have the least complaints, and a decent amount of features, was the Garman 465T.

Hello Cathy...CatEye works very well in any bike, but if you have a mountain bike it works well until the sensor being hit by a stone and this happened with all my CAtEye. If you can, do not hesitate to buy a gps for cycling, it is much pretty better!

Yes, it should work on an atv. Also, Arkon has a newer, larger version of this mount. See SMWPCS532 here on Amazon. There's also a zip-tie style strap mount that may work better on the atv handlebars. The newer, larger-sized phone compatible one is the SMWPCS534, also available here on Amazon.

I returned my explorist 710, the track time and date was always incorrect. I bought a Garmin Oregon, which I love. I use it to track my rides and hikes. I believe you can download maps, but I haven't. The altitude is extremely accurate.

I have Verizon's GPS. Although I don't recommend it (for other reasons), it has a "truck" option we use when pulling our 5er. I'm looking for a Nuvi with that option but haven't found it yet. The 506LT/LMT is way more expensive and looks like it's in "truck mode" all the time. Btw, isn't towing your dogs against the law? ;-)

I purchased the GPS devise. It straps onto the top of your battery. It's a tight fit in there, I will say. It allows you touch a point on your IPAD screen, then hit take off. The drone flys to the speed and elevation you choose on-screen. You may change the course at any time, including speed and altitude. When you press the 'home' button at the bottom of your screen, the Drone turns and flys to home and lands itself. Works perfect most of the time, however, I have experienced a few cliches with the GPS installed. Very cool though.
