RE: GPS!
I've looked around and settled on a Garmin Zumo 450. It's essentially the same as the 550, except no Blue Tooth, which would be useless to me, with my 1/2 helmet and no windshield, anyway, hehehe...
Cheers!

I just purchased a refurb Garmin Quest from Tiger Direct for $239. As near as I can tell it is identical to the HD Navtech Quest except for the logo and pre loaded dealer info. So far, so good. You may want to search on GPS in this forum. There are several helpful threads.

In just got my Zumo 550 over the weekend. Haven't used it on the bike yet, but been using it in the truck. Very nice with some cool features. I got it off the web for $672 plus $9.99 for overnight shippping. Can't wait to try it on the bike.

Got myZumo 550from PCNation last Friday. It is hands down THE GPS unit to get for your bike. I have used a few different ones in my and my wifes cars and was going to try to mount a Pioneer that I had on my bike but really glad I bought the Zumo instead. It is very customizable and there is a good community of users out there sharing stuff for it.

Hey, I got mine from PC Nation on Friday too! 
Sounds like they're selling a lot of them. My wife is liking it so much we might have to get another one.

RE: GPS!
Zumo 550, an excellent GPS for the bike and the car. One of the advantages to the 550 over the 450, is it comes with both car and motorcycle mounts.
I added the XM Receiver/Antenna to it and enjoy trafficnav on the Zumo. It gets me XM radio, basic weather and traffic avoidance if i want it, with the Ultra is just plugs in nicely on the Aux input.
