I bought one and thought it would easy to use it both in my truck and bike, not really the case. The XM antenna is the hang up for me, after it was mounted under the fairing on my Ultra its virtually impossible to get it out and use it in my truck. I could buy a second antenna but they cost $200. I have been using the Garmin for directions in my truck but my Droid can do that. I like the idea of 3D weather when I'm riding a long ways from home, but haven't had an opportunity to get it out yet due to our chilly spring. I'd be interested to hear about how well the Nav weather works. If you want a unit that can do everything, this one may do it all, but it takes some careful planning and mounting to make that happen. Good Luck

The NavWeather works great. I've had it on my 665 since it first came out. I talked to XM recently and they told me to get XM and NavWeather, you have to do a monthly subscription for about $16. She told me they aren't allowing an extended XM subscription, or lifetime, and add the weather for $4.95 per month like they used to. It's a bundled combo, which makes no sense. I'm paid through 2012 on both so I don't know if that's true or not since you always get different stories from XM depending who you talk to. If it is, it sucks. No wonder their stock is trading under $2. They need to get their act together. By the way, getting another antenna will not solve the problem for your truck. The subscription runs with the serial number of the antenna.

R Heiner, I remember the second subscription deal after you said someting. Its a real bad deal if you ask me. I think multiple subscriptions is excessive per household/ customer. $20 a month should be enough for radio. Really? Maybe I'm just a little stingy.
