Looks good, and will work with a wide variety of devices.
I just picked up a 2 year old Tomtom GPS for MC use.  $2 US at a garage sale.  It needed a bit of cleaning, and some contact cleaner for the USB port, but it works fine.
Then I found the Tomtom brand handlebar mount for it from a shop in Taiwan.  5 cents US plus $6 shipping, and it got here in 4 days!  Pretty amazing.

So, I tried it yesterday on a long run from my house to Springfield (~65 miles one way).  No vibrations, decent display despite the bright sunlight. It beats getting out a paper map/directions every intersection. :-)>  I still need to mess with the color maps to find something legible in daylight, and to rig up a 12V auto power socket (cigarette lighter receptacle).  That might be fun.
