   The 665 is just about perfect for its intended application, open-air motor navigation w/ XM radio.

   Pros:

   Fast acquisition

   High sensitivity

   MP3 playback

   XM reception, plus traffic & weather

   Bluetooth A2DP support (sort of)

   Removable battery

   Waterproof

   Sunproof

   “glove compatible” user interface

   Cons:

   Bluetooth A2DP support — Will not pair with the music/audio for a smartphone (I’d like to stream radio)

   Short battery life

   Expensive

   I can only give this 4 stars since it won’t support the headphone profile for my smartphone. I like to stream radio while I’m driving long distances but I can’t with this GPS. There are also some nits to pick with the user interface (such as not remembering the map zoom after a power off) but it is a superb GPS for motorcycles and open-air autos.

   *Also note, until July 4, 2010 there is a mfg rebate of $100 that is *not* valid for (only) Amazon purchases. I went to a New York web supplier and saved $100!
