    In that case I would go for the zumo660, if you can afford it...
    Easy to handle, can do most things and is also a good gps for the car.
    Drawbacks compared to 276C are that small roads disappear when zooming out and some other minor things. In fact you can see 16 times more roadinfo on a 278 than on the zumo660!.
    Almost all shortcomings for the zumo is related to the software, the hardware is superior to the 278 in all aspects. So new firmware updates could make the zumo660 a fantastic motorcycle (and car) gps.
    There is an excellent comparision between the two gps'es but unfortunately only in swedish, maybe google translate can do something but it is a pdf. Here for your info anyway [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    My vote would be the Montana. I had a 60CSX but the Montana is better in every way.

    yes definitely, that's my opinion as well..

    well... I'm using the Montana 600 on my KTM handlebar with the Garmin bracket and some rubber vibrating absorbent blocks mounted to it... working ok so far...

    But.. yes.. the Montana is complaining that it can't find the right Garmin battery.. during the high frequencies vibration I guess... the battery is way to sloppy in it's compartment..

    so I glued some thin material around the end and sides to prevent upper and lower movements of the battery...

    Garmin always had problems with all its GPS'es on Enduro bikes... since I'm using this in the past, like the Garmin 48, Garmin 12XL, Garmin Rino's, Garmin 76S, Garmin 60CS even with the expensive TuraTech mount and now the Montana 6xx again... they will never solve the Enduro Adventure and its special demand on material...
