Sorry, I missed this. I bought it in 2010, April or May I think.

As an entry level nav its ideal,

It has some limitations, that cannot be overcome - Bluetooth is mono only, due to the chip used - so no SW hacking I'm afraid

other than that

The 550 was a decent unit in its day - screen a bit small but well made & robust. Still got mine !

I've still got mine, too. I have a mate who refuses to stop using his. But he does ride a Voge.

 

[Muppet]

Bump. Still time to get it for last minute Christmas present posting

Don't know this model at all....I assume (but we know how that goes) you can load Routes and Tracks on the unit ?

garmin stopped releasing maps for this unit maybe there’s another way of doing it .

The last Garmin maps for this are July 2024 2025.10 is the map set so relatively recent. But it will no longer load all of Europe even if you have an MicroSD card in the unit. This seems to be limited by Garmin Express. I have the same issue with an old NAV iV. However, if you were going on a tour and wanted say a good bit of France or a route down to Croatia or something you can load the required map tiles using Map install in Basecamp up to a limit of 4gb for any particular map set. You can have multiple map sets loaded on multiple microSD cards that you can change and enable/disable on the unit. So the limitations of the unit would not limit your ability to have map coverage for anywhere as required. The unit will also take up to date "Garminised" Open Street Map maps. There is a how to on this site in the GPS section.

They are great little units and you can easily load all of UK and Ireland on the internal memory (Garmin maps) and the parts of Europe you might want to travel through on a micro SD card. Or if using OSM maps pop them on a micro SD card. Good luck with the sale.

Of course! I went all over Europe with mine routes planned at home and down loaded.

Apologies, I've been away a bit and missed this. Yes it's the same as any Garmin unit (except the XT) in that you can connect it to your PC and load routes you've created in Basecamp directly onto it. Or you can load them onto the SD card and install them on the unit.
