Pipe's got a Garmin Nuvi 660. Only used it once playing around and just sent it in for warranty yesterday. My fault, fried the unit trying to hardwire.
Seemed pretty good to me.

Don't even have a bluetooth phone yet.
I will someday, I liked the fact that when riding it would pop up and display the caller ID on the bluetooth. Never feel the phone on vibrate on the engine and road.
Only bad thing about the Nuvi line is that it isn't waterproof.
If it happens to rain, I'll put it in a tank bag unless I'm traveling; if so I cover it with a clear bag. Heard people do it before so I guess it works.

I've been using the Scala Rider headset for 3 years now. This past week I upgraded to the Scala Rider Q2. Awesome.
The old version had 1 speaker in the helmet. The Q2 has 2 speakers and it has built-in FM radio and it can communicate with other Q2's up to 300 meters away (think other bikes) AND it can communicate wirelessly to a passenger with any other Scala headset AND it allows GPS input via bluetooth AND it still has bluetooth to my phone. Up to 120 the other party doesn't even know I'm on a bike. Above that speed either the windnoise picks up or they just hear me giggling like a maniac.
The fact that the Q2 is 1/16th the size of a chatterbox but offers wireless comms with other bikes using a Q2, which my dad also has, makes it perfect for me.

Great feedback that is what I am needing to know...

So since I dont have XM I could use this feature to listen to the radio, how do you change channels?

call me I have a 550. I can give you the scoop on it
I have the scala Q2 also
Q2 has 6 FM presets, after you set them, push a button to change stations.
