I have a Road Tech 660LM, Like it but am thinking of moving up to the 590 for the twisty roads feature and the larger screen. Bitch is I have to pull the fairing outet and tank again because the mounts are different. Also, the TPMS feature on the Garmin version is disabled on the road tech.And the $800 price tag.

If you want to go that route, I suggest looking for one of the phones that are actually waterproof so you don't need the extra case.

yes I saw this "CAT40" and there are others.
apparently there is a way to download maps onto your phone so it will not require data. The phone's gps just relates to the nesseary map however I don't know if these apps will talk to you through bluetooth.
it would be really great to not have to have a gps as well as a cell phone.

I haven’t had to deal with that so I don’t know. I live pretty rural. But, if you’re gonna get stuck in traffic, it’ll happen no matter what you’re using. You can still divert away from it and it’ll still reroute you since it’s already downloaded the map area needed.

Can't go wrong with a Zumo. I've had various models from the first (450) to the latest (590LM), over the past 10+ years, and they all perform great. I ride in crap weather a LOT, and it's never an issue with them. I stream music via Bluetooth as well as hearing the directions. If you're set up properly, you can even use your phone for calls via the Zumo.
Some of the older models had optional XM antennas available for weather and traffic, but the 39x and 59x series' use a Garmin app on your phone that connects to the Zumo for that. Need a cell signal to get the functionality, though.
Cheers!
