Anyone uses a GPS on their GS? What brand? Suggestions how/where to mount it. How to keep its battery charged?
The Garmin Zumo is a popular choice. They are weather resistant, vibration resistant and should come with handlebar mounts (or they are available). My dad uses one on his HD and its lasted a long time through abuse and bad weather. You can wire it right up to the battery also.
i use my phone. an htc evo. i installed a cigarette port to keep it charged, then got a mounting plate for it, zip tied it to the handlebars. bluetooth it into my Sena SMH-10 intercom system, and BAM, instant google GPS, music, phone conversations, etc... :)

I have a tomtom 335XL and you can get a really nice mount/weather case off amazon.com also i have a charger hard wired to my battery and supper glued to the bottom of the tank. cant see it at all and it works great! only small problem is it's kinda hard to get to the key but thats a small inconvenience
I use a Garmin NUVI 255W and/or a rooted HTC MyTouch Android cell phone.I use the phone like a tablet.I don't have a service plan for it.It was my sons until he got in trouble.

+1 I also have a Nuvi 255w. I picked up a Nuvi bar mount from ebay for 4 bucks and it sits nicely on the bars. I also installed a waterproof 12v right behind my gauge cluster for the specific purpose of charging my Nuvi while on a trip etc...
