[QUOTE="fatcat216, post: 1270704, member: 82767"] rm_guy- There are a couple of interesting discussions on this in the archives- although it sounds like you already have most of the info that comes up in them.(You have to search under GPS UNIT to sift and find the better discussions.) There are also some threads in the legal section that talk about mapping trails for the govt...Several state agencies have links and down loads that might interest you. Look under the Texas forum or legal... or maybe here: [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=153455&highlight=gps+unit[/url] [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=156514&highlight=gps+units[/url] Summarizing from there: Garmin good, ...e-trex summit show relative elevation changes. Topo for trails seems mandatory to me, I guess. I like maps and gadgets though. Or I did until I went blind in old age and can no longer read electronics in the wild. grrrrrrrr. Here's the link to mounts: [url]http://www.dirtrider.net/forums3/showthread.php?t=149058&highlight=gps+units[/url] Sounds like two things to be concerned with are bike vibration and not mounting it so it gets destroyed in your first crash. The other discussions were related to radio and gps, but before you spend the money you might want to consider all the options and how you'll be using it most. I realize this isn't greatly helpful, but the threads I cited weren't all that old (late 2007), so thought I'd pass it along just in case. I thought we have a member whose job it is to ride the rockies and map these things. (??) While 2TrakR's thread is 2005, I think the information in it is still pertinent to things to consider. I'd recommend if he/she does not jump in here, you PM or email before you buy. Tony Eeds is also quite helpful. Good luck. Let us know what you settle on. [/QUOTE]
