Re: [St] New GPS

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremywitt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now that I actually have secured a job in Texas, this comes up for me again.
The Zumo 450 looks pretty good, and I found a site that sells it for under
$375.  

Anyone have any experience with this "550 Junior"?

Thanks,
J

Sounds awesome, but I don't know if I can spend $700 on our first GPS.  I do
have "spousal consent" if this Texas move materializes, tho.

Any good units for about $350 out there?  :0D

I finally broke down and picked a new GPS last week.  I bought a Garmin 
Zumo 550.  All I can say is "WOW"!!!  It makes my Garmin 60C look like a 
Commodore 64  vs a Mac.  WOW!!!

The 550 includes everything from mounting hardware to the cables to 
mapping software.  It has enough memory to hold all the detailed maps of 
the US and has some room for additional stuff.  There are a ton of POIs 
available on it with the capability to add more too. Lots of other 
capabilities like sync'ing with your blue tooth headset or up to date 
traffic info are there too.

I used it for a short ride (~100miles) Sunday and was extremely 
impressed to say the least.  The 3.5in non glare screen is easy to 
read.  It's easy to use (touch screen & buttons) with gloves on. 

I would highly recommend anybody thinking about a new GPS give the Zumo 
550 a really close look.

George
