Buy a quest or keep my 550?

[Monsieur]

Had a garmin quest for several years and it saw sterling service in the UK and Europe in both bike and car.
I then succumed to the aura of the zumo 550 and though it is better than the quest in some ways I seem to have had more mapping issues with the 550 than with the quest.
Seems slower to re-calculate than the quest and only yesterday my wife took the 550 to nottiingham on her monthly shopping trip blast) and ended up nearly on the tram lines and then onto a bus-only lane - all due to the slow re-calaculation of the satnav.
Is this a feature of the 550 or just a bad day for it?

By the way, regardless of lack of re-calculating she still managed to spend a fortuine in the victoria shopping centre

Save your money, I will exchange you my quest with qpac and car mount plus 100£

You give me the Zumo....

The Zumo calculates new routes much faster then the quest ever did. I suggest you take it for a few rides first. Maybe the unit is not placed too well in the car, or there were a lot of high surrounding buildings making receptions very dificult.

It's not a Zumo thing to have bad reception. It's one of the best ones out there!

I always use an external (internal) aerial when in the car, never a problem with re-calc speeds....

Keep the Zumo...I've had both, no contest unless you want to some fell/hill walking with a GPS
