For those of you with 550's wondering what's different about the 660:
- More memory for larger [future] map upgrades.
- Faster processor
- Simpler mount
- Flatter, wider
- Larger, slightly higher res screen
- Everything is touchscreen: non dedicated buttons like the 550
- Stereo Bluetooth
- Has lane-assist and displays speed limit. The speed limit indicator was what did it for me.
- Front screen can be customized to show different fields (up to four) - ETA, sunrise, sunset, elevation, bearing, distance to turn, time to turn, etc etc.
- And some other stuff I disremember.

I've been using a Street Pilot 2610 for 3 years or so. Works well but there are no map updates anymore since it's a discontinued model.
Got to looking on the Garmin web page last week, they've got a new zumo model, 220. Motorcycle specific but less expensive than the 660. Might be my next purchase.

I'm sure I'm going to hear how great the ZUMO is and no doubt about it, it is. However, I for one can't justify the cash to purchase one. Check out the Garmin NUVI 550. Presently sells for $220.00. Waterproof, can be used on your bike, in your car, boat, as well as in the bush if you're into Geocaching. Doesn't have all the features of the Zumo but it has all the ones you need. It's very accurate and updates very fast. I would say the only feature it doesn't presently have is Lane Assist.

Zumo 550 for me, use it on the bike and in my truck/car for trips. Also use it for work when on sales calls. Probably 7 years old now (guessing, might be longer) and haven't had any issues with it. the battery doesn't hold a charge any longer, but i never use it when not on the cradle anyway.
