RE: GPS
I was recently looking also, had a Garmin C330 but I wanted more features - I finally decided on the Quest2 for a number of reasons: Internal battery = able to use off the bike/car to plan routes, use as awalk around gps, etc., Ability to design a route on PC and download to GPS = plan a few rides for local clubs and vacations, Ability to design a route with out a PC by using via points, Ability to download additionial maps (topo maps for hunting, etc), Ability to download custom POIs (Points of Interestie HD dealer locations), Waterproof = just never know, Compact size - screen size is smaller than some however it is very clear and crisp. Downfaults: not a touch screen unit, no internal speaker for voice directions (car adaptor has speaker built-in and m/c cradle has a audio jack - headphones/aux input in radio), slightly slower compute times and slightly slower "cold" satalitereceptiontimes. Hope this helps your descision process some - however dont take my word, check out the manufactor web sites - some are more helpful than others.

RE: GPS
Here is where I found the ZUMO for $585 ... still pricey, but at least $40 better than anyone else (so far) ...

Guess what? This vendor takes some of the standard stuff out of the box, that's why the pirce is what it is ... when I told them I didn't want the extended warranty or any of their other "options", all of a sudden they were out of stock ... the good news is that I was able to buy from a "good" vendor.
Don't buy from 86th Street Photo!

RE: GPS
I got mine for that price but turn down the salesman when he tries to sell you the **** that he says you have to have to make it work. He tired to sell me a 1 gig memory card for $179, I bought it locally for $70. Just say you want the Zumo only no accesories. You'l get everything you need. Pick up a memory card anywher else but 86 photo.

RE: GPS
I've had the Quest 2 for a couple of years now. Very happy with it and with what it does. Also switch it to my truck and my work car. The internal battery lasts all day.
Here it is mounted on my Deuce
