need a gps for yamaha rhino, lots of vibration,dust,mud ,water mist,
wonder what would be a good choice...my dad bought me a magellen explore 210 but i havent opened it yet so i could take back..

I have a Garmin GPSMAP 276C with a data card and Garmin's MapSource Topo's loaded. I have a RAM mount on my handlebars and a 12 volt adapter that plugs into my cigarette lighter jack. It's listed under the Garmin Marine section because it has marine and automotove modes.

It's a large screen (3" diagonal) and easy to see on the trail.

The topos add a lot of detail. The ponds and lakes are mcuh better as are the streams and mountains.

I have 3000 miles of very rough ATV riding on it with no problems.

It also holds 15 saved tracks with up to 700 trackpoints each, so I preload it with saved tracks from previous rides.

(see my post under the Software topic where I described what I do with maps and tracks - all with the 276C on an Arctic Cat 650 V-Twin)
