Thought this was interesting.  The latest and greatest Zumo that is rider/motorcycle friendly.

Took a look at the Garmin website.  TPMS sensors are $69.99 each.  No MP3 player on the new model.  But it does have the 'twisty roads' routing option like the new gps in the moco's infotainment center. 

Do like the TPMS option but think I'll keep my 660 for now.

The lack of an MP3 app would be enough to make me think twice.

Agree.  Don't know why they would not include it other than some technical limitation.

perhaps because the mp3 gimmick seems to cause most of the connectivity problems at least over here  :nixweiss:

Picture reminds me of my 550. I also have the BSR GPS back up. The BSR GPS has a larger vocabulary especially if I miss the turn on the front GPS. :huepfenlol2:

But BSR GPS's have no volume control, are too quick in letting you know you missed your turn, always ask why you missed your turn and are always stuck on "repeat"
