gps mount

Mine is down on the dash near the speedo- I opted not to mount on the handlebars because if (when) you roll your sled you can knock it off or lose your GPS in the snow. Having it mounted on the dash, I have it set so I can see it easy when riding but the handlebars protect it if I roll my sled.
I've got a Garmin 76csx that I put in a RAM mount. However, due to my own negligence I almost lost it one day....I now use a lanyard and attach it to my handlebars just in case I'm stupid enough to make the same mistake. 
Used correctly, the RAM mounts are awesome.
I've also hardwired my gps to a remote control car battery (7.2V, 1150 mAh, NiMH) underneath the hood, where it stays warm. This gives me a loooooong battery life and no concern of tapping into my sled's electrical system, while also providing continuous backlight display (only way to get continuous backlight is through external power).

I would agree that the RAM mounts are the way to go. Check BASS Pro or Cabelas for the mounts.

I use Ram Mounts water resistant box for my Garmin 276C, I use this same set up on my ATV's and boats also, it is very adjustable so you can see it while riding standing up or sitting down, and is protected by the handle bars incase you roll the sled.
