Interesting. Time will tell if it's much better than the 550. I wonder if it's gonna use the same cradle and connections. If they're smart, they'll make it backward compatible with cradles and wiring for all those that have already permanently wired their bikes for the 550. If not, I know I won't be looking at it at all! ;)

Different form factor apparently...cradle would likely be different.

happy with the 550...so is Anne with hers!

just caught this on CNET

http://ces.cnet.com/8301-19167_1-10134143-100.html

Very Interesting.  Now I know why I got such a great deal on my 550.

Still very happy with the 550, so I'll not consider trading up to the 660 any time soon

What's interesting is the 660 is MSRP at $799.00 while the 550 is at $964.27.

Yea, that sounds almost too good to be true.  Wonder what the street price will be?

More info here.

 Looks like only 10 routes as opposed to 50 on the 550.  And as someone else noted no XM radio.

Yep, noticed that too, and what is this function?, and this sounds interesting...

Inside, the Zumo 660 is loaded with maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and 6 million points of interest. Like the Nuvi 885T, the GPS also has lane assist with junction view; plus, there's a new multiple routing feature that will give you a preview of the shortest, fastest, and off road route so you can choose from one of three options.

It's really two different device generations. The 660 is more like a nuvi, and we will probably see more versions with different functionality (and higher prices). I do not think anyone with a 550 will change for the 660, but riders new in this market may take a hard look at the 660, mainly because of the larger screen and attractive price point.

Ride safely,
Louis

Even on the 550, the lack of screen vertically was more of a problem...adding to the width of the screen does not help me as much...

Especially when following a route and it takes some of the available real estate for some info...
