That 550 looks pretty good. Wish I'd seen it before I bought my 760.
(then again, I am glad I didn't on "info overoad" from looking at all the available units)
That being said, the Nuvi 760 has a lot more features that I wanted and it was only $199 from Amazon with free shipping. (Was $850 new in 07)
I have been extremely pleased with the 760 and I can get a waterproof handebar mount/case for it.
FWIW Amazon has the best prices for the Garmins etc.
oh and check out "Gpsmagazine dot com", tons of info.

I never tried the voice directions, I just glance at the screen, a picture is worth a thousand words. One less distraction as well.

It's a done deal guys. Thanks everyone for your input. I just ordered a "Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator" for $170from Amazon. Looks like it will do everything I want and a lot more then the $2200 factory unit in my Ford Fusion!!

Which ram mount are you looking at? The one I bought is not big enough to fit around the stock bar diameter of my Bob.
