RE: Garmin 550 Map Update
Updated mine yesterday, I had lost my product code and had to call Garmin. Their customer support was awesome helped me straight away and a couple of hours later the upgrade was done. I am also traveling the world this summer on business and found that I could simply add maps on an SD card and plug them right in.
I really am enjoying my Zumo 550, now I all need are the custom caps for it.

RE: Garmin 550 Map Update
I have two Garmin GPS units. Steetpilot 2720 and Zumo 550. Garmin sent me an email informing me of the 2009 update, called Garmin asking if I purchased one update for $70 and change, if I could also update my second unit. Kimberly in customer support was very nice, but said that due to a new policy by their mapping provider, I would have to purchase an update for each unit. That didn't sound right to me, I guess I figured if I had purchased two Garmin units I should be able to upgrade both for one price. That was their policy last year, apparently. Anyway, I informed Kimberly that I wouldn't be paying $140 plus dollars to upgrade both units and out of protest (stubbornness) I wouldn't be upgrading either of my units, thank you very much.
She then offered to speak with her supervisor and after a couple of minutes came back and said she would be very glad to send me a free upgrade CD for one of my units and that I could visit their web site to purchase the upgrade for the other. She said she didn't usually make this offer, but since I was such a nice fellow, she would make an exception. I downloaded the new map and it should, I hope, update a lot of the missing roads around Greensboro. I found a new Golden Coral resturant that was just opened a couple of weeks ago on the resturant menu, surprised they were that up to date.
