I have got £250 to spend on a sat nav system. gps, handle bar mount and maps

theres a couple of features i definitely want,

a colour screen and I would like it to be waterproof and crash proof if thats possible

I would also like to be able to use ordnance survey maps

any one got any ideas about the best system :?

    http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/garmin-gpsmap-60cx-description.html these are supposed to be VERY good, don't know if or what maps it comes with but the bike mount for it is about a tenner.

    thanks for the heads up on that site Barrie picked out 2 I like the look of :) but I think I am going to have to do some overtime to be able to buy the map software. :( I wanted 1/25000 mapping for wales, north england and scotland nearly fainted when I worked out price. Think i'll have to go for the 1/50000 scale or give up beer for ever. :cry:
