Any recomendations on a GPS and a mount system that will integrate well with a Sportsman?

I have a Garmin Etrex Vista, and a handle bar mount made by RAM. I like the GPS but a color screen would be nice. :D

I use Magellan Sport Trak Pro. They have a 12V power cord that plugs into the Pod and a Bicycle handle mount.

I bought the Magellan Topo Map CD (A MUST) on Ebay for 50 bucks.

All the tracks and waypoints on the site...are from my GPS.

I had the Magellan Sport track Pro and liked it until it broke last summer. I now have the Magellan Meridian Color and love it. It wins out over the Sport Track for 2 reasons. Its color. And it accepts a SD memory card up to 1 Gig. I was haveing problems with the Sport Track keeping all of my tracks, not any more. It uses the same software, cables and addapters as the Sport Track.

Got a free GPS from Polaris for buying a new Sportsman. Not the quality level I wanted but free is free. I will go with it for a while.

I can't find my Sport Trak Pro from our last ride.... :( I remember removing it from my ATV....can't find it now in any of my stuff. Puzzling and sad.
