I wonder if its more than the XM antenna or a proper sort out of all the issues they've had with the 660?
Here it is
LAS VEGAS--Most of our readers are pretty familiar with Garmin's Nuvi line of in-car GPS navigators, but most have never heard of the manufacturer's Zumo line of motorcycle GPS devices. At CES 2010, Garmin has added a new top-of-the-line model, the Zumo 665.
The 665 replaces the previous Zumo flagship, the 660, but almost matches the previous unit spec for spec. Both units have the same 4.3-inch WQVGA touch screen, removable, rechargeable lithium ion battery, and waterproof construction. Both feature Bluetooth hands-free calling with A2DP stereo audio streaming.
Dig a little deeper and you'll find that the new 665 boasts a better battery life (up to five hours versus the 660's three), but the biggest change is the switch to XM NavTraffic and weather from the soon-to-be-defunct MSN Direct network used by the older unit. A cool byproduct of the XM traffic integration is that the Zumo 665 can also stream XM Radio programming through its integrated speaker or to Bluetooth-connected headphones or helmet headsets.
Combining an XM Radio tuner and a waterproof GPS device in one housing makes us feel a little better about the Zumo 665's $999 MSRP, but not much. The Zumo 665 motorcycle GPS navigation device is currently available.

Any suggestion that it's coming to the UK?

Bit pointless really seeing as we don't have XM Radio.
I would like to be enlightened???
I have searched around for 'issues' and haven't found anything big enough to distract me from buying one..
Cheers.
XM Radio is a subscription service in the US and not available this side of the Atlantic.
But, only time will tell and by then maybe the 670 will be out.

Be patient ..... there is now a Nuvi that can receive DAB radio and TV. This just needs to be Zumo'd and we're sorted.
