You guys are out of your mind - $700 for a Zumo 550. The Nuvi 350 is $300 with a car mount and plug, $40 more for a mount for the bike. The Nuvi 360 with Bluetooth is $332. I know 5 people who use Nuvi's on the bike. You're throwing out your money...
I also used Abe's of Maine, but an internet search will give you the "price of the day" from which ever dealer is low that day. The Nuvi is a good GPS, but the Zumo is top of the line. The phone connection works bluetooth so you can make & receive calls from your headset while riding if you want. I paired mine with Scala's "Rider Team Set" & have GPS commands, telephone, & intercom with my wife. The phone function also loads your phonebook in the Zumo & displays it on screen when you want & identifies incoming callers so you can accept or reject answering them.

You do not know of what you speak. THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE CASE AND THE BUTTONS..
The Zumo is simply a Nuvi in a case wth the buttons on the outside. The Nuvi is Garmins top of the line.
I bought the 450 because I don't care that much to know when my cellphone is ringing. Maybe if I used a full face helmet with microphone I would use it.
The only other difference is the 450 doesn't come with an car mount, but for much less than the price difference I bought a second power cord and a suction cup windshield mount from Ram so I can easily transfer it from bike to car.
Oh...and I found the best price on mine at www.buydig.com.
