Garmin's newly announced Zumo 660 is essentially a rugged, motorcycle friendly nuvi. The device features both motorcycle and scooter routing options, as well as an interface that is streamlined for use while wearing gloves. Watch the video for a quick demo.
Definitely an interesting unit. Fletch, do you think you can do a review on this GPS receiver. There are a few unanswered question I have about this unit that I'm sure you can easily find out such as does it come with a motorcycle power harness, do all cables hook up to the mount and not the receiver itself etc. Thanks.

Besides the "Large keys" mode...and the "Motorcycle" mode in auto, pedistrian, Is the Zumo 660 worth the extra 4-5 hundred over say using a Nuvi 200W, 205W or 255W?
A Nuvi 205W, a plastic bag for rainy times...and wow, I've saved about $400 bucks. If the 205W breaks, I could buy two more and still have money left over.

Zumo 660 is the ultimate motorcycle GPS. The compass dial point to the actual direction instead of indicating general direction. Also indicates elevation, perfect for touring in mountainous region. A2DP bluetooth technology allows you to listen to your mp3 in stereo (unlike the Zumo550 which only has mono sound), thus, suitable with A2DP headset for helmets such as the Midland BT2 headset. Connects with your bluetooth mobile phones. Glove-friendly touch screen. Truly a great long distance touring companion for the avid motorcyclist. Nuvi 200W, 205W, and 255W can't do all these.
