For a bike? car? truck? airplane? geocaching?

 

We assume its for a bike but you didnt say...

 

 

[Woody]

yes it is for my bike

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.

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.

where to buy before she changes her mind?

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.

[Wizard765]

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

I got it ended up getting the zuno 660, now I got to get it hooked up to the bike.

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.

[Woody]

Jerry I paid about 14 dollars more for my 660 than what is on Pcnation, guess I should have shopped more.

[Freebird]

I've bought my last two Garmins from PCNation and they have always been great to deal with.

[Woody]

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)

[Freebird]

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.

[Woody]

finally got time to put my buddyrich cable in today works great, (Thanks Buddy) wish we could hook up a vox on it for the intercom. while I was in there I found some wires that had been chewed on, I just taped them up could not find the varmit that did it.
