I'm in the same boat--basically need a GPS so I can follow tracks with my dual sport. I'm thinking the garmin 78 for $200 from West Marine is the way to go. ymmv.

I'd do something like forcefield or bohn for the armor then simple textile in-the-boot pants (love my Klim Chinkooks) over them. Free shipping from the good guys at Revzilla, btw.

Could you explain why the zumo is better for long trips? I'm comparing these two units and following others' tracks for long (multi-day) trips is my primary reason for getting a GPS.
