Zumo 550 easy to use...

Ok. Maybe not. But since I am unfamiliar with that shop, their site is all there is to see. And you never get a second chance for a first impression right??

It's not the most transparent website (to say the least). It gives me the feeling to dubblecheck what you are clicking on and agree to.

Yes .

Also what is the latest version of mapsource at the moment

Does not show what mapping is on the unit, most likely MapSource® City Navigator NT v9.0 .

Latest is MapSource® City Navigator NT 2008 (v10.0)

I have used mnc group with no problems
look at the top of the web page

(if it cheaper we will beat it)

they did for me when I got the 2610

MNC

I found MNC fine - I wouldn't bother with the T for traffic, the Scala headset or the radio add-ons though - if you ring them and speak they are helpful and you may be able to negogiate a reasonable discount as I did.

Delivered within one week from ordering.

550 is as easy to use as a 2610 - easier in my opinion, especially when on the move.

Speed camera subscription from the 'My Garmin' site has been worth it too - regular updates with easy transfer.

One advantage over the non battery types is that you can use it off the bike too - to get to where you're going, or to find where you've parked your bike!
