Mike is using a helmet cam on his Alanson  report page. I use three different cameras. A motor cam from Spanky's mounted in the hood of my Z1 turbo. A widescreen high def for most shots and a waterproof Sony mounted on thr rear of my sled. Also I use all Lowrance GPS untis, I have 5 of them and have had good luck in rough conditions. If you by Garmin  GPS Unit you can buy trail maps on-line from: http://www.vvmapping.com/
