I ran a Garmin nuvi 350 form years. It worked okay and I was able to integrate it into my com system. However, it wasn't waterproof and the display would washout on bright days.
Last year I upgraded to a Garmin zumo 665 which I love. The 665 has XM satellite radio, XM NavWeather, Bluetooth, glove-friendly 4.3-Inch touch screen, turn by turn directions and it is waterproof. I have integrate it into my com system and having the XM capability with GPS navigation in one device is great. The only negative item about the 665 is the facture mount. Take my word don't trust it. I upgraded to a Touratech lockable mount which is sweat.
The zumo's are pricey. However, I feel they're worth the money.

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.
