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.

I use my 5915 for geocaching. I wanted one device that I could use everyday in the car (nav, music, pda-functionality) and then could pull out for the occasional cache. I really like the program GPSTuner for offroad navigation (no affiliation, just a happy customer). I also bought a little silicon case on ebay to protect it on the trail. If you do a lot of hiking, etc, then a dedicated, more rugged GPS is probably a better bet though.

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.

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.

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

I agree-have been in the market for a new GPS for awhile now. Really do not need one [my Garmin 350 still does the job]. I like some of the newer features on the 1300 series-see such mixed reviews!! Model numbers should be mandatory when submitting a review so the customer can differentiate between units.

I bear hunt in the mountains of Pennsylvania, these are the best for mountains and wooded terrain. I've owned other radios that SUPPOSEDLY had great range. You need to buy them in pairs. Don't work as good with other brands of radios

Bad Review? This is the greatest GPS ever! Best for a motorcycle. Only negative is the price. I had a Garmin 450 before and the 665 is so much improved. If you don't mind the price you will love it.

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

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.

I have been doing a little research and stumbled across this site. http://www.the-portable-gps.com/gps-for-trucking.htmlCopy and paste it. I think I found my answer to what I want for Rv'ing.

It has a Garmin GPS receiver and mapping software that has to be updated about once a month and it includes Sat radio for WX if you buy that option. This is a very good piece of gear but it's getting a little long in the tooth. Some other non TSOd GPS and Glass cockpit stuff has surpassed it. I sold this gizmo with my Bonanza a year ago and I now have a Vans RV12 with a Danon Skyview system in it. That is much more capable than the Garmin 796. If you only need a handheld, however, the 796 is probably the "top of the line" but you will pay for that.....probably can find a GPS that is cheaper and easier to operate by looking around. I have not done that because of my new airplane and the Skyview system in it.

There is a better that is a little more expensive but all your features work with it. This one you will lose some of the features. Try this one http://www.seicane.com/gmc-yukon-denali-dvd-player-gps-navigation-system-with-radio-tv-bluetooth-srd-8723-3d

No! It does not have a GPS! Mine has went out just over 100 yards and about the same in height! With the lights for direction, (flashing for rear and steady on for the front) and red blades for the front, it isn't hard to lose. Just don't let it get too far away and don't fly on windy days with the wind more than 10 mph. Strong winds are hard on the motors! I bought one but i plan on buying another this summer! These things are super fun!

Yes. Get the good ones, don't go cheap. I used my cam on a ball head on my quad and filmed my ATV trips. Go to youtube and put in HANDICAPPED SENIOR ATVs and you can see a couple of the uploads. The others are with a Gopro.

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?

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
