which brand and some how comes.

are there any that are weather proof or resistant.

i told the family all i want for Christmas is a GPS so something in the
$400-500 is good enough.


mike..........

Just bought one for the car yesterday.
I got a Garmin C550.

For the bike I would consider the Garmin Zumo although Magellan and
TomTom also make decent models.
Garmin seems to have the fastest mapping engines and also the most
efficient in terms of route mapping.

On my bike it would sit behind a pretty good fairing and so being
totally waterproof is less of an issue but still desirable. (it would
probably void the warranty)
