 Be Forewarned - Battery Replacement Costs BIG Bucks September 2, 2010
David Osterman (NH USA)
The battery is not user replaceable. Mine lasted about two years. Garmin wants $69.00 to replace it. Great device, but this is unreasonable, But guess what. You can find replacements on-line for under $25. Installation videos on You Tube

My second one just failed. The first one had no Audio and the second one turns off when I play Mp3's. Works great otherwise. Of course, I like MP3's so I guess I will be contacting Garmin. Oh, Amazon has a 30 day return policy, it's 32 days, It has been failing for a couple of weeks but I was trying to figure out exactly how as when it goes off you can turn it right back on and it appears to work until sometime after you turn on the MP3 and then you'll hear a funny click and a second later it turns itself off again. So if you buy one be sure to not delay the return.
 Garmin 660 July 11, 2010
Biker26
The Garmin Zumo 660 is an excellent GPS although a bit pricey. All the features work well but I have to admit that I have not purchased the optional traffic information module. This is my second 660, I purchased the first one about a year ago but it was stolen from my car :-(. I use the 660 both on my bike and in the car.
The screen is large, easy to see except in bright sun on the bike and the menus are easy to navigate.
One thing that I find annoying is that after you drill down into the sub-menus to change setting you must repeatedly press the back button to get back to the map screen. There should be a "view map" button on all sub-menu screens.
Road Tech 660 Good at First Blush July 1, 2010

I've used Amazon reviews for what seems like ages for evaluations of products I planned to buy. So now I'm going to begin returning the favor.
I just purchased a Road Tech zumo 660 for my transAmerica motorcycle ride for prostate cancer awareness ([...]) There's my plug for charity.
I purchased the unit from my local Harley-Davison dealer (Bartels HD in Marina del Rey) and had them install it. I've only used it thus far for the 10 mile ride home, but it worked great. The screen was fine, although it's "June gloom" along the beach at this time of year, so it was overcast and therefor no direct sunlight on the unit. The voice system worked fine, but at this point I don't plan to try and use a bluetooth device. That may change when I start riding through urban areas and need to keep my head on a swivel.
My trip begins July 30th and lasts 46 days, so I'll come back periodically and provide more feedback.
Best regards, Robert

The Garmin 660 will either go down in history as either the begining of end for Garmin motorcycle GPS units or, hopefully, a lowlight in a product line that will improve with time. The 660 is really a mess at it's most basic function, navigation. It's passable in a car, but really difficult to use efficiently on a bike.
This review is based on FW3.5 and 3.8. I've used the 660 for about 3000 total car/bike miles so far.
Biggest issues:
1. Poor screen. The unit is not visible in direct sunlight and even slightly non-direct sunlight. Any GPS designed for a bike should have a built in shade. Even the small shade on the TomTom rider does wonders at improving visibility. Fingerprints make the problem much worse.
2. Processor is too slow for the maps. Even set on medium detail, the screen can take several seconds to redraw after a recalculation. It's especially bad when map is set to "track up" and you take more than a 45 degree turn. It's a problem when you take a wrong turn, look to the unit for help, and see a blank or partially drawn screen. The problem is even worse in cities where the unit tries to draw buildings in 3D.
3. The fonts (sooo small) and colors used mean more than a quick glance is required to get information from the screen. Lots of guys ride without the sound hooked up, so good presentation of visual information is especially important for motorcycle riders.
4. Going with #3, the maps themselves are very poorly designed. The maps are way too crowded with the result being that the route being followed can be difficult to find among all the colors and symbols. Routes are pink, but highways are red. That's a tough thing to resolve when riding at speed, and pretty much impossible if there is some sun.
5. Make no mistake, this is a Nuvi and there is very little customization available to the user. Users of the units like the 60csx and Street Pilot will wonder where all of the options have gone.
6. Routing is poor and maps are either out of date or just poorly done. For instance, a (the?) major intersection in Minneapolis is Lake and Hennepin. However, if you approach this intersection on Lake, it will tell you that you are approaching CR20 with no mention of Hennepin. There is not even a CR20 sign at this very urban intersection. In other instances, I've found the unit to not know about the existence of major metropolitan roads resulting in odd routing that can cost you a lot of time by not taking direct routes through cities.
7. Autozoom makes absolutely no sense. The zoom levels chosen almost seem random. There is no documentation about this feature or if you can customize the zoom levels. A good autozoom could make crowded maps less of an issue.
8. Undocumented features and buggy firmware releases. Garmin will update firmware, but you are on your own if want to know what is included in the new releases. Also, the 3.5 to 3.8 update was a disaster. It is as if Garmin didn't test this software at all before release. Spend some time at Zumo Forums if you want the dirty details.
Hopefully Garmin will get their act together and really design a SatNav system for bikes that is not merely a water proofed Nuvi. The Nuvi line is made for cars and people that have completely different expectations for a SatNav system. Bikers needs are completely different. We'll know in two or three years how serious Garmin is about this segment of their market.
