Whats the difference between zumo 400 and 500?

[Monsieur]

I've previously had a 550 and, as I understand it, the 500 does everything the 550 does but doesn't have a car mount or full EU mapping.
Am I right and are there any other differences?

There are deals out there that give you the european mapping with the 500 so that's that diffence gone. 550 has a larger internal memory text to speech is another. This might be a useful feature in the UK but in Europe, if you have english as device language the pronounciation is a english form ( which can be very different from what it is ) I have friends that turn it off while on the continent.

Simple this. You go on the Garmin website where you can compare the units.

Thanks Steve - quite like the English spoken as English instead of Amerienglish
