I was loath to get one, but had to get one (Garmin Zumo 660) for business use. So far, I am enjoying it more than I expected.

I now sit in front of my Mac some evenings, with the old faithful paper maps, planning ride routes, then I create the routes in the RoadTrip map software and transfer them onto the Zumo.

One great thing, but slightly dangerous, is when you go round a tight twisty; when you lean the bike over, the little bike image on the screen leans too.

Same old geekiness, new way of being geeky.
