Tomtom urban or Zumo 550/660 for Balkans?

[Phil1962]

Good morning

I'm off to the Balkans and Turkey in summer. My old streetpilot III with 2009 maps, is now probably passed it's best and I am looking for something with more upto date maps.
I do like the idea of planning my route rather than taking the route the satnav plans for you but now with the TYRE software I could do this with both makes.
Could someone please give me a quick answer to which they have had experience with and would purchase for the trip, the countries that I would be bothered about are; Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Bosnia and Croatia.

Regards

Phil

Good evening Lars

Thought the Zumo 220 only had bluetooth and no headphone jack/audio output line?

Best work out has the better mapping, and work it from there might be a cunning plan

Good evening John

The mapping was the orginal question, used the streetpilot 111 for many years but need to upgrade and heard tomtom had the edge with mapping of the countries I needed. I've no loyalty to either can plan with the TYRE software but would like to hear from the people with the experience of the systems in the balkans.

Regards
