Difference? Zumo 550 vs. Nuvi 550
I'm in the market for a GPS.
Was looking and saw there's also a Nuvi 550.
I know most of you guys swear by the Zumo...
But...what's the difference?
I'm not up on GPS units...so help me out here!

Another question...or two.....
Is $735 too much for the Zumo 550?
If I buy...should I consider the "Extended Warranty"?
I'm not an extended warranty kind of guy, but I'd consider it on electronics.

i got the zummo 450 for under 500( if u dont need bluetooth to tell u directions) the discontinued 450 should be even cheeper. u can still hear the 450 if u plugg into aux jack and load mps on sd card to hear tunes while on aux. i find just glancin i dont need the bitch tellin me every 2 minutes and if i miss a turn it will reroute real fast.

One reason the Zomo is more expensive, is the screen is more readable in bright sun light. Harder to see the Nuvi screen when the sun hits it.

The ZUMO was built for bikes. I'm sure you could get a better price than that especially sine the 660 is now out.
