I have a Garmin 76CSX for my bike (it's waterproof and very rugged) mounted in the middle of the bars. These new Garmins do work inside your jacket as they have an upgraded receiver in them. I also have a Nuvi 760 in the Jeep and I can say that they are extremely useful. In Ontario, with your beginners bike permit (M1) we're not allowed on the highway until we get our intermediate permit (M2) so having the GPS figure out how to get somewhere without hitting a highway is extremely useful to the new rider who wants to go on a long ride without getting caught on a highway. Personally, I will always only buy a Garmin. They're easy to use, have tons of maps and all the accessories you'll need for car or bike. But like someone else pointed out, stay way from the urge to play with it while riding. Program it before your trip and just follow it with quick glances and nothing else. If you really have to, pull over and do what you need to do.
