Faster processor, large screen makes the difference

 

If you need a GPS for a bike, GET THIS ONE! Its lack of XM, for now, is nothing because it can handle a data card 4X the size the prior generation Zumo 550 can, and the savings of the XM antenna and subscription is phenomenal. Its speed and screen size...

So fast, easy, to use, and read, makes it is a pleasure to use

I have to take off the battery door to get to the PC USB port. Just a nit

Garmin Zumo 660

 

Overall the Zumo is really nice. The screen is good but at times does get washed out with the sun directly on. I wish it had a separate cord, similar to the older 450 in lieu of a harness that you have wire-in. Having to remove the back to connect to...

BuyAccessories

 

Paid $630 for a new unit from buyaccessories.com and it seemed to be a great buy. Within a week the unit lost its submaps so I contacted Garmin to find out the unit was registered previously (6months ago). Had to jump through hoops to get anything done...

Motorcycle GPS

 

I bought the zumo 660 just recently here in the US and I intend to use it on my motorcycle in Europe. So I haven't really used the "bike" settings with the bigger buttons nor can I say anything about the visibility in bright sunlight. I only used it in...

Does What They say it will

 

I was nicely surprised in that this GPS does all that they advertise and then some. The only problem I run into is getting it to "talk" to my Sena headset. Sometimes it takes a few trys to get them hooked up and working together.

This works well but a big exception is you cannot run the sound through the speakers of a Harley Davidson touring bike. Directions are spoken thru the built in speaker but not audible. Harley requires using their version of the 660 which adds specific...

Some great some lousy issues...

 

Bought the 660 last year (just had it stolen) and have to get something else. I purchased it to go on an extended ride on my Concours and was really impressed with how easy it was to mount, set up and use. it is very accurate about directions and...

Pretty good GPS

 

I have had this unit for about a month and beside the bluetooth being a little buggy, it's very good. I use the bluetooth to connect my phone to the GPS and the GPS to my Scala G4. It works great. I can talk on the phone while on my bike and nobody...
