Hi Bill,
I've talked to Tom at CycoActive before I bought my III from him. He explained how he modifies the GPS to make it less susceptible to vibration. I used that GPS through South America with a Touratech mount on my G/S with no problems.
Later I upgraded the III with a III+ from Garmin. I've used that III+ GPS on dirt and roads with no problems. Note that the III+ has not been modified but has still been reliable.
I've since upgraded again to a 176 with a Touratech mount. I needed more memory than the III+ or V have. We'll see how that one works on my next much longer trip!
My advice it to call Tom at CycoActive and talk to him (if you can get him when he's not riding!) He's very open and will tell you what he does to the units.
