Lowrance GlobalMap® 5200C GPS ?

Is mounting a marine gps like the Lowrance GlobalMap® 5200C GPS in a truck a bad idea? It looks like it is identical to the Baja 540c, may just have different maps loaded, and you can add radar and sonar. Does any one have the 5200c? How do you like it?

New 5200c GPS

I now have a Lowrance 5200c. Found one on clearance, and saved $200.
It took me all day to install in my Discovery. I removed the head liner, so I could mount the GPS module on the roof, using the hole for the factory gps antenna. The unit seems to be identical to the 540c Baja, just not as "rugged".
Boats go over choppy water, so it should hold up to some vibration. I'm not a racer, so it should work for me.
