I have some pictures of a Garmin GPSMap60CSx and a Nuvi350T (not waterproof) at the FZ6 on my page.

Which you have? The GPSMap? Is it dead now or how do you think that the electronics are almost dead?

I've got this same GPS, and found that the vibrations through the bar have nearly destroyed the electronics of the unit. Nees to be mounted to the chassis somehow. This GPS is intended as a handheld, probably never tested on a 7k rpm vibration table.

I got a hand-held hiking style gps for my birthday from the in-laws, the Garmin Venture HC. So that decision's been made I guess. I've been using it on rental car trips and walking around town to try it out, and I think it could be useful on longer trips, if only to find specific places I've marked ahead of time (and for the trip stats). So far the nicest thing about it is the ability to integrate with Google Earth once I'm on a PC. I can go find roads, pit stops, points of interest, whatever, and then get the lat/long points and upload them to the Garmin as waypoints. I think the next motocamping trip this spring, I'll plan it out that way. No idea if I want to mount it yet, I'm guessing not, since it's so small and not really a car/moto kinda device. It has no turn-by-turn, and no expansion memory card slot. But the battery life kicks ass. I think I've used it for like 20 hours so far on the same set of AA's and it's doing great.
