Navigation - Garmin Zumo 660 vs. TomTom Urban Rider?

[dcstrom]

Hi,

After my Garmin Zumo 550 packed up I have been given a partial credit towards my new sat nav, I can choose between the Garmin Zumo 660 or the TomTom urban rider.

You've ruled out the Garmin Montana? A bit more GPS-geeky than the others, doesn't do the creature comforts like Bluetooth/MP3/traffic/weather, but focused on navigation, and seems a bit more rugged.

each to their own

personally I have a huge no-no wrt to the use of a phone whilst either driving or riding even hands free

I get that. I find it much too distracting to ride and talk on the cell phone. I'll even call it dangerous. But when I'm riding over 1K miles from home and my teenage daughter calls as says "Dad, can you talk?" I was sure glad I could pull over immediately and talk her through the car accident issues while she was still at the scene. I don't feel safe talking and riding, but I will not give up the ability to be reached when needed. Fortunately the Zumo allows me to see who is calling and ignore the call if desired.
