Zumo 550 and I would not be without it...

 

Quite right. Garmin mapping here in Europe at present is not as good as TomTom's, at least not on those I have compared. The 'user interface' of each is different and of the two brands I prefer TT. For North Americans, from what I can make out, Garmin is the choice, but for Europeans I would recommend TomTom, for the better mapping.

 

If you dont need bluetooth, mp3 etc. I would buy the Garmin 550 Nuvi and a ram mount.

 

I have a Nuvi 500
Here is a great review.
If it can be used on a snowmobile then it can EASILY withstand being on a motorcycle.

I have the zumo 550- waterproof
- glove friendly
- 3.5" screen
- mp3 player ( which is what I use it for every day )

 

+1 on the Nuvi (as opposed to Zumo) 550. Waterproof, ruggedized case, same display as the Zumo but smaller form factor (no need for external buttons) and about $400 less than the Zumo. Don't want or need Bluetooth, MP3 or XM.

how do you nuvi users have it mounted



nevermind, I found the ram mounts website

 

Use a garmin 765T, with RAM mount, works great. MP3, bluetooth, and bunch more features.
