Default I'm thinking of buying a GPS at the HD dealer.

Is it better to buy it at the dealership or save money and buy it from Amazon? Big price difference.
What makes buying it at the dealer a better choice?

If you are looking at Garmins, the only difference is the color of the case and the HD comes with every HD dealership already programmed into the unit. You can find the same POI on line and down load for free. Still want to go to the dealership?

Harley versions (Zumo 660 & 665) have a two year warranty. That's the only plus. An Auto mount is included. No mounting hardware for bike. Garmin no longer sells the 660 or 665. They now have other models that come with bike mounts and have a one year warranty. Features of these devices are more extensive than the HD's. Only the 665 has real time satellite weather radar that shows your route. Advice...study the features of them and decide which ones are best for you.

The real big diff is you're making the HD dealership owner a bit richer.
