Have read some general talk on GPS's but can anyone recommend a good one that doesn't require a 2nd mortgage to buy. Around the $200 mark. Have iPhone but has a maps app that lasts a good 40 minutes, then lost!

buy a decent phone!
is the problem that your phone goes flat? may be better/cheaper idea to wire a usb power source on your bike
Depends what you want. I have a cheap little Garmin car one in a handle bar mount. Got it on sale with free lifetime map upgrades so look around. I don't worry about blue tooth and just look at it. think its the waterproofing and bluetooth that make the bike ones expensive.

Flick the iShit shit.
I use Google Maps gps function on a shitty smartphone. It not only always gets me there, but it also picks up traffic snarl-ups etc and sends me down a rat-run to avoid it!
It's a bit like my late ex-wife* - I just do what it says and don't ask questions!
* No, that is not the same as "Latex wife"! (-8

In the car I use Google maps on the iPhone. The traffic function is boss!
