Does What They say it will by Nce59 on amazon.com Jul 1, 2012
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.

Great Motorcycle GPS by Scott on crutchfield.com Jul 14, 2009

In car GPS/remote phone/MP3player yet portable! Mar 24, 2007

Faster processor, large screen makes the difference by Blue-J on cnet.com Jun 21, 2009
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 will make using it such a pleasure.

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Garmin zumo 660 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator
The MP3 player was generally good, but lacked an equalizer...It is as good as any unit I have used (which isn't that many), but not perfect when the roads are a bit tricky...Overall, I am quite happy with this unit, but Garmin really needs to fix that city problem...

Reviews for Garmin nüvi 660 GPS at PriceGrabber
It's THAT good, because the Honda/Acura system is rated the best of all Navigation systems, in all automobiles, so that's saying a lot when I write that the Nuvi is as good as Honda's onboard DVD-based Navi system...I would NOT RECOMMEND using your home as a security location...I'd recommend using a nearby parking lot or somewhere other than your home...

BMW kicking Garmin's zumo 660 up a notch with the Motorrad Navigator IV -- Engadget
Coming third quarter to US and Europe, there's no word on price yet, but as a basis for comparison, the cost of the zumo 660 is about $700...However, I just blew out the right audio channel a week before I began a 10000km motorcycle trip, so I bought the Zumo 660...However, the Zumo 660 is missing a couple of critical (IMO) features, including hard-buttons along the left side, and high-detail 3D map view (where are my sidestreets...
