I have a TomTom in my truck (gift) and its Ok. It has a lat/long ability. I also have a Garmin handheld with the same.
Always heard really good things about Garmins. Have had no trouble with either.
Id just play with em and pick the one that best suits your needs and size requirements. There is a ton of em on the market.

Good morning DTRonians 
On my way to the Dentist again today going to do the old root canal while sucking on the Nitrous.... I hope that stuff doesn't over load my drive train and cause me to blow out a U-joint or sumpin 
You have any idea how hard it is to find parts for a 1950 Wupperman?
Yall have a safe day and stay out of my office, I just got the potato salad out of the fax machine from the last Office party you guys pulled while I was gone

I'll see if I cant find a pic of it.. This bike is a "Bar Bike" Its a 2008 Screaming Eagle Ultra with a "Jim's 131" Motor. The motor alone is worth 18,000. Also has full air-ride suspension, air ride seat, heads up windshield display, diamond cut jugs, chrome frame, chrome mags, remote start, and remote saddle bags
Thanks buddy.
Here's something you may find entertaining; Got a pre-approved credit card app in the mail. Get them all the time, so it's kind of aggravating given the history of the big banks as of late. So we filled the app out... in Jake's name. Lo and behold, guess what comes in the mail today? A credit card. In the name of Jake K. Nien.

He needs to order some parts from the DTR store. Hey Lary, woof woof, woof, woof, bark bark, growl.......
found a belt buckle for chaikwa on my vacation, had to stop the guy to take the pic so it isn't as clear as i would like. PROFESSIONAL WOOL RIDER with the gold 'mounted' rider on the sheep's BACK. could not believe the luck.
or that the mexican guy was so proud of his belt buckle.....border towns: don't ask, don't tell...

It had gotten rowdy and slightly off track really fast.
I tried going to sleep but hot water heater had stopped working and smell a little like gas. Cant find anything wrong except the pilot light had gone out for no reason.
Now I am playing with some slides I found at my old Dad's place last month. Gotta take them back next week. He is going to be surprised because he thought he had lost them 40+ years ago.
Makes me wish I would have taken more pictures when I was younger. I should have bought a digital camera in 1973.

Be careful and breath deep! (might be a good time to cut those toe nails too) If you see Chaikwa kick him in the butt and send him this way, he's late.
