The Garmin Zumo 550 is the best I've seen. You can get one from Buydig.com for around $686 which includes shipping. Also, you can check out their forum on this link

RE: TOMTOM rider
I'll put in another vote for the Garmin Zumo 550. Originally I was going to buy the Garmin that HD rebrands as the nav system in their catalog, but the Zumo seems to be a more modern and advanced unit.
I went with the Garmin over TomTom because Garmin seemed to be a more established and experienced company and I thought maybe less likely that they'll go out of business or not support older units and leave me with a useless hunk of circuitry in a couple years. But who knows.

i will go ahead and put in my vote for the garmin 550. originally i thought the 450, but the car mount is about a $100 product so it just made sense to go a step up. pcnation was about $670 ish shipped. extra $9 for overnight shipping.
it's fun for trips. went to lake placid yesterday. worked great. this week im driving back to nebraska and taking it with.

Have seen a number of folks w/issues with TomTom - to the point that ah wouldn't buy one on a bet. Ah'm runnin' a 2610 - not as current as the newer ones, but only 'bout 325 bucks, too.

Did you buy the 2610 recently?
If so was it a new one?
I have only been able to find rebuilt ones for around $300.00.
I know two guys that run the 2610 and I have riden 1000's of miles with one guy with the 2610 and I'm impressed with the features.
I think it would do me well.
But, after looking at the zumo 550, I think it is about the best out there, but, I just don't need the best as far as GPS goes.
