          zumo 450 if no bluetooth needed. 550 if so required.
          stay away from the 660 as apparently it doesn't track.

                you can get the nuvi but youve got to have a good mount.

                  So is there a standard mount on the nuvi that's good, is the zumo worth the extra bucks?, best to buy once and be happy eh, looked on ebay uk didn't see much in the way of zumo though!.

                      Welcome to Roadguide shiredevon! If a non-talking device (beeps only) and a smaller screen is okay with you, a 60CSx on a RAM handlebar mount would be a good alternative and won't dent the credit card as much...

                        Yes it is. Watertight / gas resistant / bike mounting kit plus cabling. Nuvi is for in car use, you'd have to fiddle to bikepower it and make it watertight.

                        Or 76csx. But the screensize isn't all that good. Or 276c but almost same price as zumo that. Plus you'd need garmin only cards.

                              if not available in the UK maybe you can try amazon: http://www.amazon.com/GARMIN-Zumo-3-...5779615&sr=8-1
