Faster processor, large screen makes the difference

Better than expected from reviews

By ohthatgal (newegg.com) Read the full review

Wish there was a way to program a trip on computer keyboard. Have not subscribed to live traffic.

Used for motorcycle, car, walking, airplane (cross-country mode). Touch screen works great with heavy winter motorcycle gloves. No problem with weather when mounted on motorcycle with windshield- stays relatively dry. Take unit off for heavy downpour....

For long trips, Zumo directs to center of every town programmed along the way instead of bypassing them. Screen does not show current road/highway, only see name of next turn

By (gadgetheaven.co.uk)

With a large 4.3 inch display the Zumo 660 is easy to use in any lighting conditions and the touch screen interface is simple to get to grips with. Garmin has even thought about the fact that most motorcyclists wear gloves whilst riding and as such the...

As with all Garmin sat navs, the Zumo 660 has street level mapping which can be expanded to suit your needs. 3D views of buildings and junctions to help with confusing road layouts are also included, as is a fuel gauge.
