Has anyone purchased or used the HD Zumo instead of the Garmin Zumo?

 

I looked at it this past weekend but not for $800. plus dollars. You can definately do better than that.

 

If you are an AMA member, you can get 20% of any Garmin product once a year starting in 2009. That might save you a bit on the HD Zumo if you can get it directly from Garmin.

 

Why pay the extra money? Just get the Garmin. Same unit any way.

 

The HD Zumo IS the Garmin Zumo 550, although with the HD version you are forced to by the mounts, cradles, etc. You can get the 550 for cheaper, with all the accessories, and just load the HD Dealer Points of Interest on the unit. The only other real difference is the color and top/bottom caps. I'm typically anti-aftermarket, but in this case, i wouldn't touch the HD Zumo just to get the Logo.

 

I just bought the Zumo 450 (now discontinued) with a 12v car power cord and car cradle/speaker mount for $455.00 shipped. Supposed to be here Friday. I can't wait.

 

Where From?????

I got the power cable and car mount #'s from the Garmin site to make sure they are a match for the Zumo 450. I paid extra for 2nd day shipping.

 

Check out Costco.com Zumo 450 is less the $400.

 

Crazy to pay the extra money for the HD logo when it's just a Garmin 550. Check out pcnation.com for one of the better prices.
