Zumo 550 is great. I've had one going on three years. Never a problem, and since it is made for bikes, it works well with a gloved hand, controls on the right side of the unit, and water/vibration resistant.

It's the last two that make it pricier than equivalent car units.

Good luck in your search.

If I was in the EU, I'd probably opt for the TomTom, but Garmin's support in North America is really beyond compare.

Does Tom Tom make a motorcycle-specific GPS? I'm looking at the new Garmin Zumo 660. The weather- and vibration-resistance appeals to me.
