Here's a cheap entry level GPS for $79 bucks after rebate. It's pretty basic and probably not suited for motorcycle use but it's about the cheapest I've seen. It's a refurb unit that was originally almost three hundred bucks. The rebate ends Aug. 31.

GPS really isn't on my gadget list. If I really wanted it, I'd add it to my phone plan and it has voice guided turn-by-turn. I wouldn't mind trying a GPS unit on my bike to compare my speedometer readings though.

That is a good deal for a starter GPS. I do love the feature on my phone by Verizon and I have used it a few times. A week in NYC and a week in Northern Ca were the last 2 times and it works great. It does eat up the battery life so be sure to plug it in while gps-ing.
