Just installed the 665 a couple of weeks ago and am having a couple of issues.
1) Can not get the weather or traffic to work. I do have a XM subscription to all but when I go to "subscriptions" on the unit, it shows 195 "channels" but no "data". Called XM and verified that I did have it on my account. The "temperature" setting on the bottom right or left options does not work either (i assume because I am not getting the weather info)
2) the current speed limit will show in the bottom right hand corner until I put in a destination (just riding along with the map showing) and then it disappears. I have double checked this many times where the speed limit info is available and as soon as I hit a destination, it disappears. I called Garmin support and they just told me to take the unit back to the dealer and get a new one. I hate to do that as I have hours into "Custom Routes" on this unit not to mention some great rides under the "logs"...
3) sometimes it will automatically go to showing the map when I get underway and other times it will not and I have to hit the "map".

I appreciate any help from you guys and gals out there as always!

You can save your routes, favorites or any user data to your computer with mapsourse. Then get a new unit, connect it to the computer and send all that data back to the new unit.

Having trouble finding Mapsource. Any ideas?

Speed limit indicator doesn't show because it's not a selected data item when running a route.  With a route active, select one of the data boxes and change it to speed.  Speed must be selected for speed limit to show.

Garmin doesn't include Mapsource anymore and offers a program called Basecamp to use instead.  It's a free download from Garmin.

Thanks Steve, makes sense!
