Default Re: Tom Tom or Garmin? Your Comments Please...

Been using the Garmin Zumo 550 since July. No problems so far, and a great piece of kit to use. Toured Europe for 3wks in Aug. and only mistakes were made by me, The more you use it the easier it becomes. Really easy to use and secure mountings, also using a telferizer top yoke nut, ball mount. I do not use the bluetooth facility as bike fitted with intaride comm. system. Volume on both are turned up to max as I ride with earplugs in and no problems up to 70/80. The great thing with Garmin software is you can sit at home in comfort and preplan your routes, picking out any points of interest you want to take in on way. Routes can be downloaded from unit, and any deviations can be saved. I have a 1gb card installed and have more than enough storage for 3 wk trip. Have some routes planned for next year already and ferry booked for Spain in Aug. Unit is easily transfered to car and all mountings are supplied, with audio built in to screen mount. Have also had use of a Tom Tom in car, and found it equally easy to use. The choice is yours, the more you spend the better the mapping, but no sense paying for something you dont need.
