If you are looking for a GPS that has many of the same features of the Zumo, including being waterproof, you can still find some stock of the discontinued Nuvi 500/550 models. Basically the same unit as the Zumo 220, minus the Bluetooth. I have seen some people mod these by adding an earphone jack and using one of the Sena Bluetooth adapters. I can send a link later on how to do that later if you are interested.
I went the Zumo route after my. 1495 died. The power connector failed, I think from the vibration causing contact with the mount.

Great day for riding today -- I took a short loop from Windsor to Bellvue thru Horsetooth down to Masonville and around to Loveland -- while the trip thru Horsetooth is a short one, it was beautiful scenery and would recommend it to anyone biking around NoCo. Made it back home right before the wind started to pickup, but was surprised my phone ran out of juice because I was using 4G and GPS to navigate and listen to tunes.
It's about time I invested in a GPS, but I can't stomach paying $650-$800 for a Garmin Zumo. Would love to hear from folks as to what GPS they are using and how they have it mounted and whether they use Bluetooth to get turn-by-turn. And, no need to respond with, "real motorcyclists don't use GPS" :)
Thanks.
