It's the right way - maybe
I've had a couple navigators and have found that you must caste a suspicious eye on whatever route the navigator comes up with. Don't follow it blindly. The windshield suction cup mount that comes with the unit is useless: You can then buy their bean bag holder. The GUI is pretty nice, but I wish I could change the items in view.

Nuvi 550 better than Zumo for this Motorcyclist
For my motorcycles, I've had a Garmin Quest and later Quest 2 for years. I loved their small size, long-range battery and that they were water proof.

2. I wanted my GPS to help me out more than just driving directions. I hik .... Read more

Amazing unit in some ways
It took me a while to understand the different between the Nuvi 500 and the 550. Look no further. Only the base map is different. The 500 comes with the lower 48 states with topographical information while the 550 includes all of North America (Canada and Mexico) and no topographical information. The units are identical otherwise.
First, the good stuff. This GPS is quickly becoming an invaluable tool for long drives. I have been able to enter a street address as well as many r .... Read more
