Since GPS systems became so popular for daily use in automobiles. Garmin and TomTom created specifically designed GPS systems for motorcycles as well. Garmin has its Zumo line which offers a couple different styles and features and TomTom has its main system called the Rider 2. Both these systems off the general features required for motorcycle use such as, vibration resistance, glove friendly touch screens, helmet connection to hear the direction, waterproof, and rugged design to handle the elements of a motorcycle ride. Both brands of GPS systems have proved to do their job well and has pleased their customers. However, Garmin has created another Zumo motorcycle GPS unit called the Zumo 660 and they have definitely outdone themselves and TomTom with this exciting new product.
Garmin states that with the Zumo 660 will allow you to "take a ride on a new route and explore the open road…whether you’re on a weekday ride just across town or a weeklong trip to an annual rally with friends, the zumo 660 is ready to show you the way." Let’s see why this statement rings true.
The Product 
The Zumo 660 has a color touchscreen that is 4.3" wide and, of course, glove friendly. The screen is built to resist glare from the sun so that you can easily read the screen during the day as well as night. The case is still as rugged and waterproof as before also resisting fuel sprays and sun damage.
On the Go Features
The maps are preloaded so the minute you receive your Garmin Zumo 660 you are ready to go. The points of interests include your usual motels, restaurants, gas stations, etc, however, it now includes a 3D building view and lane assist so that you can really get a better picture of the area you are driving through. Which would definitely be helpful in downtown cities with high and compact buildings. There is also a digital fuel gauge so you have a more exact reference of how many miles you have left before you need to get more gas.
Never Miss a Beat
The Zumo 660 like many other digital devices features bluetooth wireless compatibility so you can continue to communicate with friends without missing a beat. With this bluetooth compatibility you can also call POI’s to check hours, make reservations, or get other answers before stopping at the location.
Long Ride Features
If you have a long ride planned your Zumo 660 can help you pass the time with an 
on-board MP3 player. The player partnered with the bluetooth technology allows you to enjoy the music clearly in your headset. If music isn’t your think it can also support audiobooks for entertainment. The Zumo 660 also has a picture viewer for taking pictures along the way.
Before Your Ride
Before going for a long haul ride or back woods ride plan your trip on your computer. Plan your own custom routes and stops on your computer and then simply transfer the saved route onto your Zumo 660. You can easily share the routes with friends with the micro SD memory card and can store numerous routes. To get more great rides Garmin even offers their Zumo Connect online community, a resource for motorcyclists to find new rides, planning trips, and friends.
