Not that I am considering buying one but what you said here is interesting. Can't beat the price. I'll assume you get no audible prompts if running a set route (?). This would mean paying close attention to the screen so you don't miss your turns if I'm correct. ( Do you still use a cue sheet? ) You also didn't mention how you mount it but that shouldn't be too hard to do.
