I agree, don't see a use for one either.

Sure does! I downloaded 2 styles of motorcycles from the Garmin site FREE of charge.

Can you see the nuvi 760 screen in bright sunlight? I have an "auto" gps that works great inside a car, but take it out into the sunlight and it's worthless. I'm assuming that the nuvi 760 is compatible with some type of handlebar mount, right?

I will stick with my Garmin Nuvi 360, blue tooth, text to speech, mp3, for 199.00.

800 bucks is just too much, I don't care what it does its not worth that.

Yes, you can get a handlebar mount for it, but I'm going to find a trick way to mount mine so that my bike stays clean looking for driving around town. I only want to use the Garmin nuvi 760 when I'm touring someplace out of town.

The only reason I would get a GPS is so I could upload to my computer everywhere I went. Other than that don't need it. Getting lost is part of the ride and most of the time ends up being more fun.

Zumo 660 does more, a2dp stereo bluetooth, lane assist, 3D imaging.

Wow, you better go buy one if you don't already have one! I'll spend the money that I saved on some bling for my bike.

660 is waterproof... 760 isn't.

They have been talking about this over on the softail side:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...umo-660-a.html

The 799 is the MSRP. I am pretty sure you will be able to get it much less when it comes out kinda like the ZUMO 550 did.
