[QUOTE="Meltdown, post: 804896, member: 13706"] I wasn't trying to open up a can of worms here. Really. I was merely relaying MY experience with the 660. I haven't had some of the technical issues that others have complained about such as Bluetooth connection problems and the like. As far as basic functionality is concerned...no argument from me. I personally liked the 478 better than the 660 but I didn't want to mess around with data cards. It's a compromise to be sure. All of us seek the Holy Grail in which we can have our GPS units work flawlessly 100% of the time and to be able to configure it exactly to suit our riding styles & needs. Sadly, such a unit doesn't yet exist or we'd all have one. For the time being, my GPS does what it was built to do without any fuss. When Garmin releases a better unit I'll retire the 660 and replace it. Or...figure out a way to mount a waterproof laptop with a GPS receiver and a touchscreen that doesn't cost $$$$$$$$. :D [/QUOTE]
