Wow, what a spirited debate. So, here are my two pennies worth. I have the Nuvi 765T. Bluetooth so I don't need wires to the J&M in my helmet. MP3 player - I like my music on SD card. I do sometimes bluetooth my iPod touch to J&M so have two sources if I want. No XM, don't care. Have lots of custom routes that I build using RoadTrip on my MAC and transfer over. Can put lots in the My Files section and can load up to 10. 1000 waypoints but by transferring the routes, I only use the starting and ending points. FM traffic stuff. Wide screen. Battery life sucks at only 3 hours on a really good day but get power from bikes so not an issue. Screen not designed for open air use but since it talks to me, don't care. Not waterproof but can stick it inside my jacket, don't care. Can't Bluetooth to my phone, don't care since I can BT phone to my J&M (in parallel), great for emergencies. Price, just over $200 at Best Buy several years ago, $500 delta, I care. All in all, very happy.
