A Garmin III+ wired to my KTM 520 battery has functioned as you describe. The mount from [url]www.cycoactive.com[/url] holds the power wire in place. I download local topo maps of the riding area into the Garmin for additional information. I have been surprised at the number of trails often contained on the topo data. The GPS does not take the place of paper maps which I think are invaluable when riding in unfamiliar areas.
Most GPS systems also provide trackback functions. It is simple to enter a waypoint such as CAMP or PARKING, but the units give heading and distance as a direct line to the waypoint which may be impassable due to a river or mountain ridge.
The saved tracks can be superimposed on either Topo maps or digital aerial photos(Terraserver).
Garmin V is an update version of my unit with larger memory, better display, and larger track capability (and also has Autorouteing, I think). The Garmin 176 is a larger unit with a better, larger display. 
These units will also function in the automobile and are very useful navigating in unfamiliar areas.
