Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I will take another look at the 550, but I know there were a lot of issues with the cradles failing and units not charging.

I wouldn't even consider Tom Tom. I use one in the car to simply locate an address, but they are totally unsuitable for planning and sharing routes (Mapsource is a huge advantage for Garmin), no use for off-road routes, and no track-log.
