Even though I've used a GPS for years in my boat and the mountains, I avoided getting one for the bike. After finally making the leap and getting the 550, I can't figure out how I ever got along without one. I recently used the included automobile mount on a trip to So. Calif. on my rental car, and I'd have been in serious trouble in LA traffic without it. It's probably the most useful (and fun) device I've purchased in a long time. I got mine at Amazon. As has been mentioned, the zumo forum is invaluable.
If you made the map in Mapsource just hook the Zumo to the computer with the USB cable and there's a dropdown in Mapsource that allows you to import routes and export routes.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to download the map I made on my computer onto the Zumo

Cool, thanks. I will go over to that Zumo site to look around for more info too.
Well thanks to all here, I was persuaded to spend more $$ on something that I never thought to buy. Can't wait for it to come in now. I have used a small handheld Garmin for years on my boat, bicycle (yeah I know how to pedal) and truck. Looking forward to "getting lost" with the Zumo.
Qball, like you I did my homework and ordered mine yesterday. Looking forward to it's arrival. We're leaving S.E. Louisiana the 1st of October traveling the Natchez Trace from its beginning in Natchez, Mississippi to it's end in Nashville, Tennessee. From there we have a lodge reserved in Townsend, Tennessee where we plan to hub and ride the local attractions. I can't wait and I really hope this new Zumo holds up to its reputation...."D"
