What all types of GPS is every one using I got a nuvi 660 Garman but it will only except one point at a time and cannot download trips from the site. what is everyone using that will download and except multiple points
 
I have the Zumo 550

The 550 is a good basic weather proof GPS

The 665 has XM antenna included ( purchased my separate) and has weather radar ( 550 does not) But you have to purchase them.
 
I use my cell phone with google maps navigation app. Can't go wrong. I just took the belt clip that came with my phone and zip-tied it to the handlebars. Works great and I don't have to worry about it getting stolen because I just put it back in my pocket when I get off the bike :)
 
If you don't XM radio and weather get the Zummo 660 and save some money. Or get any of the Nuvi line that does what you want/need and save a bunch of money. I used a Nuvi 760 for several years with no trouble.
 
spend the money and get the zumo 550 or 665 you won't regret it ..... get the xm subscription, the weather satellite and forecast is great and having some tunes on occasion is not bad either :D
 
I already have an XM system on the bike but that would have saved some space, I had seen were somebody was talking about a 1690 I believe it does multiple points and Lane mergers
 
The 1690 was listed with the ecoroute(I think) and that was the system someone had used to monitor their engine gauges. Or, I mean it put gauges on the face of the 1690. Air temp, water temp,oil pressure, all kinds of neat stuff.
Are the 550 and 6??( whatever Steve has) easy to use, see, and understand? You seemed pretty confident and I know you are good at this, for I understand about your tour thing.
Thanks

I did not even know that my nuvi 660 would not do multiple points,until I tried to download it would only do one place to the next. The newer ones have the multipoint capability with out the multipoint you cannot download the routes little bit aggravating
