Garmin Zumo Shootout

[loudbeard]

I'm in the market for a GPS, narrowed down to either the Zumo 350LM or 665LM. I am leaning towards the 350 as it looks a bit sturdier and I've heard the Nav function is slightly better than the 665, namely the resolution is better when zoomed in closely. For the 665 users, are the extras such as XM and NavWeather worth the extra coin? Any issues with durability? Keep in mind I already have a Sena SMH10 headset I stream music through and will get audio cues for Nav by phone.

This is part of a larger plan to put together a nice on board suite eventually streaming Radar, GPS, and phone through a Sena SM10.

I have the 665. Ive never used the subscription services so the 660 would have been just as good.

The showstopper for me on the 350 is no MP3 player.

Doesn't really bother me to not have an MP3 player. My Sena headset allows multiple Bluetooth connections so I can stream music from my phone. Navigation isn't horrible from the phone for point A to point B travel but it doesn't support routes and I have to stop and take gloves off if I want to change.

Eventually I plan to go to a Sena SR10 unit that I can plug GPS, radar, music, and a CB into. All of that at once is a big investment though.

To add one more to the list, the Monterra looks nice. No traffic functions but it has Topo maps.
