Interesting device, but doesn't have mp3 player or sat radio. More models to come would be my guess.
The 660 or 665 screens are a joke in sunlight, hopefully this unit is like or better than the 550 for brightness.
I have had the 660 for about 2 years and love it. There are times in direct sunlight that it can be a bit difficult to see but certainly better than any cage model and can still be seen. Also it has been through many many storms without a hiccup. I tried a nuvi first and the folks that say I just put a baggy/condom over it in the rain are just kidding themselves. They are already sight diminished and washed out by any sunlight. I tried a hood but that was only a little help. I have to laugh at the people that spend 20k and up on their bikes/accessories/upgrades but won't flip for a GPS designed for a bike. I NEED mine for the places I choose to go. PGR missions, intentionally getting lost, finding a gas station or whatever when I need anything. It is a part of my bike just as much as the throttle or anything else.

Maybe so but $700 buys a lot of Nuvi's. My 1450 with the 5" screen has worked well on the bike and in the car for about 3 years now. An anti-glare screen protector works pretty well in keeping the glare at a minimum. If I didn't wear sunglasses with polarized lens's, I probably could see it even better.
My 450 is on its last legs. I'm holding out for whatever Garmin has in the pipe line to come. I'm betting on something with a screen like the Nook with their VividView™ screen and with Android based OS. They have to do something to compete with the Smartphones.
Just ordered the 1450 ($99, couldn't resist) in the mean time.
