mrl, older GPS units used to have to have continuous direct LOS with 3-4 satellite links, but the good ones out now aren't as picky and can hold a signal link for a much longer period even with multiple levels of obstruction. The one I linked is a popular one for motorcyclists (the b&w screen is cheaper) because it can be stowed in even hard saddlebags without losing its tracking, plus there are many different handlebar mounts you can get/make for it. It's water-resistant, easy to use with gloves and easy to configure for visibility at a glance. Be careful of the new ones out MARKETING to motorcycle use. They have fewer options, aren't as rugged and have a higher price just for that label.
