I've had 4 Garmin units. A Garmin GPS III worked okay for us but the black and white was harder to read while riding. It was waterproof and had an internal battery but it didn't hold up too well when we hit a truck that turned in front of us. We were doing about 65. Haven't riden since. Had logged about 100,000 miles, over 9,000 on that one trip. Brain hemorrhaging, broken bones, constant headaches for 8 years. Gave up riding after 30 years. The wife and I sure miss it. Good luck with the GPS. I've bought mine at Best Buy with the extended warranty. I've ALWAYS used the warranty before it ran out. Don't know if I'm especially hard on them or just because I use them a lot. It's been worth it to go back and get a brand new one though.
