Ok, I started this thread in this forum earlier:

So now after an 879 mile two day ride...

And shouting "where the hell are we???" a lot, I've decided to get a Garmin.
I use reading glasses... trying to see/use my Droid while riding is at best, dangerous. Not to mention almost droppping it sometimes. So I'm getting (from feedback on that earlier thead) the Scala G4 which I think, is Garmin compatable.

Hooked up with (again thanks to HD Forums!) one of these:

So Garmin users..... what are your reccomendations?

comments welcome!

Edit: If your reading this thread, you'll find lots of great posts by users about what they're using but still there's lots of confusion about Garmin's different models and features so...be sure and go to these pages I've linked below for Garmin reviews and clarification of models and features both current and discontinued:

i use a map.

 

I believe the only Garmins that will output speech via bluetooth are the Zumo's = $$$

 

I have the Zumo 665. Very nice GPS. Even has lane assist for confusing interchanges. It has XM and MP3 as well.

 

I currently use a older Zumo 550 and love it....When it finally dies I will pony up the cash for the new Zumo 665 or whatever it maybe numbered when it comes time to replace my 550.

 

The Garmin Zumo series will Bluetooth fine with the Scala G4.
If you plan on listening to MP3 music through the G4 as well as getting the GPS voice prompts, I recommend the Zumo 600 series. The Zumo 500 series only does mono sound over BT, not stereo.

 

Received the Zumo 660 for Christmas, been very happy with it!

 

Good for you, but since that wasn't the question, who cares....
When you're lost in the middle of nowhere, a map does make good toilet paper though.

 

+1 on the 550. GPS are great You can just ride and go wherever and always find your way home

 

Pleased with the Zumo 550. Gets the job done.
