RE: GPS Unit
Zumo 550. Just used it on a 1500 mile trip to and from Grand Canyon and Sedona, AZ. Worked flawlessly. I did add the XM NavTraffic antenna, so had tunes, etc the whole trip. Also, had the weather reports as well as forecasts pretty much every where i went.

RE: GPS Unit
zumo here. tried most of the bells and whistles with it(worked great).never used aux pluggot for it just got better at zooming in/outand reading screen. blue tooth is collecting dust. Like gas,water, shock proof part. and came with moto/car mounts.
came with 1 free map upgrade will use in a couple years(100$)
I would get It again~700 bucks but has a little too much tech. for me.

I also have the Zumo550. Find it very helpful. It 'can' be distracting, but for the most part it is enough info when you need it. I like mine. Won't go anywhere without it.

Zumo 550 here too. Just got back from Rolling Thunder (1300 miles)and it worked well. Did have some issues with sun on the screen and not being able to read it but other then that it worked great.
Bought a marine grade Cigarette lighter adapter that I power the Zumo with and that work well too (in the rain).
I also agree that it can be distracting when riding. The Zumo however does allow you the option to lock the screens and not allow you to play with it while you're moving.

The mount has line out plug, that plugs into the Aux In of the Ultra's radio. It automatically mutes the music so you can here the voice commands. Has built in MP3 player, audible book player. I put the XM antenna (add-on) as the Zumo just has the graphical interface for XM, not the receiver part.
