Definitely a good idea to keep a paper map handy in case of a technical problem with a gps, which can happen. Though I have yet to have one.

Its definitely worth wiring to your bike battery. I cant imagine being dependent on a battery for trips. Once your bike is wired, your done, set it and forget it. .

My garmin 755 wouldn't start up one morning - and I was enroute to Quebec to visit a friend . Luckily iPhone saved me there. There was some bad code in the firmware that made the unit restart over and over again - that was summer 2009. Unfortunately Garmin's quality control and testing is very poor now days.

I have always wired my gps for bike powered riding. Really handy to have.

had that happen, had to do a hard reset and reload all the custom info (yay for back ups)

Haha, GPS isn't necessarily better. When I was in Nova Scotia a few years ago, it told me the closest gas was 50km north of me, unfortunately that was more than 500 km by road as the Bay of Fundy was in the way.
