It depends what you want the GPS for. I spoke to Delorme who make the mapping software I use and the 3-D topo DVD that I want to run and they recommended Garmin over all others. I like the III+, but for my use I settled on the StreetPilot with the computer interface/power cable. I did not want to spend the money for the additional internal maps or chip when I can link to the laptop in the car using the Delorme maps. On the motorcycle I can run just the StreetPilot and use the internal map.

Try these links: http://www.garmin.com/
