Just because your bike’s parked doesn’t mean your day is done. The z?mo 665 also pulls double duty as an in-car navigator when you’re on four wheels instead of two. In addition to the included motorcycle mount, the z?mo 665 also includes a carrying case, vehicle mount and power cable. It’s like having two full-featured navigators for the price of one.

Garmin Zumo 665
After riding on a 1000 mile trip this week, here is my review of my first use of the 665 on a road trip. I ride about 20,000 miles per year and have used the Zumo 550 (my previous Garmin) for 45,000 miles the past 3 years, hence my comparison of the 665 to the 550.
Cons:
Major problem with the unit is the XM features shutting down unexpectedly. One of the reviews here experienced similar problems and was told by Garmin that the antennal cable is faulty and a new cable is being designed. I do not think the cable hardware is the issue. I believe it is the software. I experienced the same problem once before I left on the trip and was told by Garmin Tech to perform a hard reset of the unit by holding your index finger on the lower right corner as you turn the unit on until you see the message that "a reset will erase your data". You have to select "yes" or "no". Yes does reset the XM but erased all of my favorites, routes and settings. The unit reverts to the...

Don't buy mount/cable is faulty
Purchased a 665 a month ago. Third day of use the XM tuner would not connect to the unit. Turns out the cable is faulty and is being redesigned by Garmin. After numerous phone calls and emails with Garmin product support, they can't tell me when the problem will be fixed. Currently, I have over $1000 into the unit, the XM doesn't work, and Garmin can't tell me when it will be fixed. Don't buy unless you can be assured the cabling has been fixed.
Excellent, though pricey.
The 665 is just about perfect for its intended application, open-air motor navigation w/ XM radio.
Pros:
Fast acquisition
High sensitivity
MP3 playback
XM reception, plus traffic & weather
Bluetooth A2DP support (sort of)
Removable battery
Waterproof
Sunproof
"glove compatible" user interface
Cons:
Bluetooth A2DP support -- Will not pair with the music/audio for a smartphone (I'd like to stream radio)
Short battery life
Expensive
I can only give this 4 stars since it won't support the headphone profile for my smartphone. I like to stream radio while I'm driving long distances but I can't with this GPS. There are also some nits to pick with the user interface (such as not remembering the map zoom after a power off) but it is a superb GPS for motorcycles and open-air autos.
*Also note, until July 4, 2010 there is a mfg rebate of $100 that is *not* valid for (only) Amazon purchases...
