GPS mapping using Garmin Nuvi 205W, etc?

I just read a SnowTech Magazine article titled "Poor man’s Snowmobile GPS Solution".
Please take a few minutes and read it and let me know what your thoughts are.

The sleds that I would be using these on are a combination of pull start and electric start.
2008 800R XP (e start), 2013 800R XM (e start), 2015 800R SP (e start), 2016 800R SP (pull start).

1.... have any of you used these for GPS navigation?

2.... how did you power them so that power to the GPS is cut when the engine is shut down?

3.... any issues with loading the maps?

4.... how did you mount them?

5.... is this a decent option?

I did wonder about the Nuvi and the cold temperatures.

Here is another option.... a bit more expensive, but perhaps this is the way to go.
They are using the 6” Garmin Nuvi 68, not the Montana.
I suppose that the Montana is a better unit and is more specifically designed for our use.
