The guys I know with GPS units for a while now don't repot any problems. I
just picked up a Mio GPS because it was cheap (under $200) and had a MP3
player. so far I like it alot and vibration does not seem to be a problem.
This is what I used http://www.minerallac.com/Hangers.htm I had some on hand
and it worked, not fancy but works good. Bicycle shops have mounts that look
better and are not too pricey if you want it to look nicer. Rod
