"I purchased and received my Garmin Zumo 665 the last week of October 2010. I have used 4 different GPS units over the past 5 or so years, 1 Magellan and 3 Garmins, and this one is by far the best. Besides being the most feature laden model I've ever used, it finds satellites the fastest and routes the quickest and most accurately. I often use it for places I know, just to test it, and it isn't bad (Local knowledge of an area almost always trumps a GPS unit). I have not used this product on my motorcycle yet. However, I have used it for about 2,000 miles in my car including a round trip from NJ to North Carolina. Everything works flawlessly and quickly except for a few things I mention later in the review.

First of all, I highly recommend you read all the included materials and register your unit electronically via your computer. Then search for any updates. There was a free map update that took about an hour to load. From there you should print out the full manual and read it to really learn all your Zumo is capable of. There's a lot it can do and a lot you can customize to suit your own preferences.

I subscribed to the XM audio, NavTraffic and NavWeather. It's expensive, but I have used the audio before and I love it. As for the traffic and weather, I just had to try it out.

The XM audio was a god send for my trip to North Carolina since I am not a country music fan. The jury is still out on the traffic and weather.

XM issues:

The XM took 2 attempts to get the subscription loaded, but it has been fine since. Perhaps Garmin has worked out the kinks I have read in previous posts.

Sometimes the audio touchscreen seems to be a little insensitive and I need to press the buttons repeatedly.

Once in a while, when I try to arrow up or down through the channels, they won't change. It momentarily displays that I've selected channel 0, but it doesn't change the channel and the display returns from channel 0 to the current channel. I then press the browse button and I can choose whichever category I would like, such as presets, which is what I usually listen to and the problem disappears so I can channel up or down normally.

The XM NavTraffic is consistently inaccurate. It has notified me that there were traffic delays where there were none and it has failed to alert me to a legitmate traffic delay once. "

The XM NAV weather has been as good as any tv or radio report, that is to say, not always accurate, but still the best source of weather information for the average consumer.

Yesterday, the cigarette charger/power plug stopped working. It was the fuse, which was easy enough to replace, but I've only had the unit for 3 weeks. We'll see. On battery power with all of the XM and Bluetooth functions running, I started receiving low battery warnings after only 90 minutes. I don't know how much longer the battery would have run because I made it home before then. You can always turn off the extra features to extend the battery life. I'm planning on purchasing a larger carrying case for all of the elements that come in the box. The included case only holds the GPS unit and none of the attachments. When staying in hotels, I wanted to keep at least the GPS unit and the XM antenna with me. Each is a pricey replacement.

I'm glad I purchased this product and have no regrets. I would recommend it to anyone, especially gadget heads. I will update if things change and/or when I have used the unit on my motorcycle (Not until Spring).
