Excellent GPS goes from car to bike to handheld easily. Easy to use I wish I had this on my last crosscountry trip.

The package was not shrink wrapped. It was obviously opened. Never received anything like this from Amazon before.

I asked the person who I spoke why there was such a difference in prices from one retailer to another. He told me that the differences where because of the different versions of the machines and that I would not be able to update an older unit with new software.

With this information I bought the unit from 17th Street Photo.

When I called Garmin they told me that there is no different versions and that any updates would be available to me after buying the unit. With this information I could have bought it from another store at a lower price.

I gave my review regarding my purchase, but after finding out from Garmin that there is no difference between years or (versions as I was told) I change my review.

The following day a representative from 17th Street Photo called me asking me to change my review for a 20 dollar refund, I told them that I would have to think about it and to call me back later.

I found this to be insulting and when they called me back I told them that I would not change my review and that in fact I was going to change my review again letting other customers know what they were doing to gain a better review, they then offered me 30 dollars to remove my review, but I refused.

I believe that people should know what this company is doing to gain the trust of customer to buy their products. If they had no stars that’s what I would have given them.Garmin 010-00567-00 Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator

I was very happy with unit until a cool fall day and I wanted to ride. Guess what? It won’t turn on. For 652.00 it should last longer than three weeks. I am sure by the time I send it in and get it repaired or replaced I will not have it for fall riding.

The GPS worked fine for a couple of days and then it never turned on again. I sent a mail to DIGITECHDEALS and they told me to send them the GPS and they would send me a new one. The new shall arrive this week. Fast response from DIGITECHDEALS.
