I've had a Zumo 550 for 3 yrs. 35k mi.It's worked flawlessly and I'd be totally lost without it.Paired up with a Skala Rider bluetooth so I don't have to look at a screen.Only complaint I've had is down loading map upgrades can be a pain.

My nephew brought his Garmin on our May RoadTrip. Donno what model it was, but I was ready to chuck it off Hoover Dam (once we finally FOUND the dam!!!) after it mis-directed us for the second time. Following him/it, I got so PO'd I was shouting profanities into the wind. Yes, it was the unit's, and not his fault both times. Main problem(s) seemed to be slow updating, and that you couldn't hear its verbals at hiway speed (even behind his fairing). My brother's Garmin was flawless on the trip, but his group was 3 days behind us on the ride down.

I've got the Garmin 660 with the Harley dash mount and love it. Easy to see, reach, and wires into the fairing harness without splicing wires so it shuts off when the bike is turned off.

I installed a Zumo 660 with a fairing mount and love it. Its feels like its integrated into your bike - this is my 3rd Garmin and am a big fan of that company. I picked it up for $612.00 at www.universalmania.com - shipping was cheap to Canada as well...
