(I burnt mine onto DVD). Now, if you ever accidentally delete a key file, or have problems with the device crashing, you can do a comparison, and restore a missing file etc.
How long did this take you?

I took delivery of my 550 this morning & it looks like it's going to take about an hour to copy. Is this right?

annoying bongs

Has anyone figured out how to switch of the audible bongs as you go through what it thinks is a speed camera area (specially temp ones which are long gone) without switching off the sound altogether. Mine is going in a skip if it doesn't stop soon!

It's possible to save a silent zero length MP3 to replace the bong. Register for and have a search on Zumoforums and you should find the info.

On a similar theme, can anyone tell me why I don't get any bongs? I've also downloaded voice warnings, but all I get is the visual icon.

Advice from another forum, whence I did the downloads, was that if I'm not exceeding the limit, no warnings are given.????
