Well, this is sort of a different animal, but I just got the Garmin 76CSx and really like it. Havn't used it on the bike yet (she's not here yet), but have used in the car and am thus far very pleased with it. It will run up to 18 hours on two NMH batteries (or Alkaline). I got the "Auto Package" which comes with the V7 Garmin NA Cities software CD, two different mounts for the car, the cig lighter power supply. This is called a "handheld" unit...the screen is vertical rather than horizontal like the 26/2700 series, but it's still plenty big to see without any problems. It comes with 156MB removeable memory (plus some internal as well to hold basic data), but I got an additional 256MB chip too. I loaded most of the Southeast on the 256 chip, and have the 156 for a spare, or to load other types of maps on...topo, marine, etc. The unit is waterproof (it will float, in fact), compact, and completely portable. RAM makes a mounting kit for it as well, so that will go on the bike. I backpack/Camp/Fish, so needed something portable yet with a high degree of detail, and this seems to be the ticket. Got it through gpsonsale...by far the cheapest place I could find for the unit and accessories. It doesn't have the biatch talking to you, but has beeps (not loud, and selectable) to let you know about upcoming turns, etc. Overall, and for my purposes, it's hard to imagine anything better suited.
