Mariner Fan Posted February 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2011 Well, if you are looking to use XM radio then the 665 is good. Freebird just got one so you might ask him what he thinks of it. I have XM radio with the Garmin 550. During the winter I just put the XM radio/Garmin 550 in my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecount Posted February 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2011 Bike GPS, would definitely recommend the Zumo 665 with the XM Satelite radio. Since installing this with the Satelite Puck receiver, commercial free radio Classic Vinyl or Classic Rewind tunes has been increadible. FYI The 665 also has a car mount for use in the both vehicle. Issue is that the satelite radio needs the "puck" since ID # for the Sat radio is part of the puck antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted February 2, 2011 where to buy before she changes her mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlS Posted February 2, 2011 Share #7 Posted February 2, 2011 QUESTION??? I like planning my trips out on my Microsoft streets and trips and avoid x-ways. On any GPS's are you able to download your route or does the GPS always picks the route? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted February 2, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 2, 2011 The newer versions of MS Streets and Trips will export to your GPS. I know it does for the Garmin but I believe you have to have a unit that supports routes. The Zumo will accept a route from S&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryT Posted March 10, 2011 Share #12 Posted March 10, 2011 Bought my 665 last year from www.pcnation.com They had the best price at the time, in stock and delivery was good. As for the 665, overall I am happy with it. I wanted XM and it works well. Also have the weather sub. which gives current weather/radar maps. If you take long trips, this is a great option and tells you when you are about to get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted March 10, 2011 Jerry I paid about 14 dollars more for my 660 than what is on Pcnation, guess I should have shopped more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted March 10, 2011 I did ask, oh well and I just ordered a BuddyRich cable shoot ain't nothing but money. (glad my wife don't read here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted March 10, 2011 Share #16 Posted March 10, 2011 I'm sure you did fine. I don't know that they have the best prices so I didn't say anything, I should have though. Sorry about that. I have actually seen them a few places cheaper but the reviews on those places weren't usually that good. Heck, you only paid $14.00 more...that's not bad.
