Now that Garmin has the 660 out, the Zumo 550 is going cheap - I have one and love it. :thumbup:

I guess it depends on what you want it to do and how much $$ you want to spend. It's a crap shoot. Kinda like what kind of oil to use.

I use a 2610 and I like the large screen. But it was free so... :shrug:

Get a used Garmin Quest (or Quest II), mount it using this mount (it has an audio plug, more on this later): http://www.amazon.com/GARMIN-010-10610- ... =pd_cp_e_2

I learned this weekend in the Pine Barrens, that looking down at the GPS for the next waypoint (turn) while riding whoops in fire cuts is not fun and generally causes one to miss said turn. So...I am going to get this Bluetooth Transponder: http://www.amazon.com/IOGear-Bluetooth- ... =pd_cp_e_2 and plug it into the afore-mentioned mount to wirelessly send audio to these Bluetooth headphones: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MOTOROKR ... pd_sim_e_8 so that I am able to ride along with my eyes on the trail and have the sweet-voiced vixen on the Garmin Quest soothingly tell me where to turn well ahead of time.


Or buy a Zumo for a gazillion dollars and only use it on the street because I have read that it sucks for off-roading.
