NUVI 550 and NUVIfone M20 questions

 

Greetings,
I just got a NUVI 550 waterproof GPS in the mail and am testing it out tonight. Has anyone used this yet? It seems pretty neat and has a multimode feature. It automatically switches between nautical, topographic and street maps based on the mode you choose. I'd be curious to see what folks think of the 550.

On an un-related note... does anyone here have the NUVIfone M20? It's not really for sale in the US, but can be purchased unlocked in the Asian markets. It runs Windows Mobile, and while maybe a little clunky, still looks cool. A friend in Singhapore is hunting one down to see what they cost. If anyone has an M20, I'd like to hear their thoughts on it.

NUVI 550 and NUVIfone M20 questions

Well, I am sort of close on both counts. I have a Garmin Nuvi 500, which is sort of a twin sister to the Garmin Nuvi 550. (I can't decide if it is a fraternal twin or an identical twin!)

I also just today got a Garmin Nuvifone G60. I won't know enough about the Nuvifone for a while yet.

G60

Heh, cool!

Is your G60 unlocked? Or are you on the AT&T network? Have you asked them about unlocking it? In theory it should work just about anywhere there is GSM service.

FYI, yeah, the 500 and 550 seem closely related. The biggest difference is that the 550 has North America road maps, IE US and Canada. The 500 has topographic maps and the US, no Canada. The 550 has about 2gb of RAM (just slightly under) how much does the 500 have?

Garmin Nuvifone G60 Unlock Code

I sent a FAX yesterday to AT&T to get the Garmin Nuvifone G60 Unlock Code. I want to use my T-Mobile SIM card in it.

I am not sure how much memory the Garmin Nuvi 500 has. My wife seems to have taken it over!

Garmin 500/Zumo 220

I have the Garmin 500, and it has been pretty good. I have no use for the Bluetooth feature so I didn't get the 550.

If you wanna see what a good deal you got, just look up the Zumo 220 and compare prices.

Now I'll bet your really happy with your purchase!
