Wow - those comparison pics of the 550 vs 660 have got me itching to trade! I didn't realize the 660 was that small overall despite having the larger screen. Looks like a good upgrade!
I've been using the 550 for about three years, and find it very valuable and easy to use. My screen went hinky after the second year, but Garmin replaced it at no cost with a refurbished unit. The second unit was like new and is working fine.

I use a Nuvi 200. Was about $100 a few years ago. Not waterproof but can either take it off or do the baggy thing on the off chance I get caught in the rain. Its so cheap that I just leave it on the bike when stopped. It's not worthwhile for anyone to steal it. BUT.. it does everything I need it to do. Thinking about a Nuvi 550 just to get the route planning, the only thing I really miss on the 200..

I use my Droid 2...Bluetooth it to my Cardo Scala Q2 Pro for GPS turn-by turn. I don't mount it on the bike, but keep it in my jacket or vest. This helps keep my head up and eyes on the road.
Of course, this is when I have a specific destination in mind, and programmed into the GPS; for traditional touring fun I have my wife use the laminated maps - her job on a tour is navigator/loadmaster With the bluetooth intercom it's easy to talk to my navigator,,,
She keep threatening to sew a clear plastic pouch to the back of my jacket to hold the map (lol).
