Because this is a very small screen you will have problems using it with gloves on in the cold. You will be better off with a larger touch screen or a unit that uses buttons. Two units to consider are the Montana 650 (large touch screen) or the GPSMap 62S (button interface).

GPS units are good for about -10C. After that the screens tend to slow down and freeze up. We suggest putting it in your chest pocket with the screen facing your chest to keep it warm. Other people have used hand warmers to keep the unit warm in really cold areas. Always use lithium batteries in cold weather

If you click on accessories on either of the Montana or Dakota pages you will see the available mounts.
