Dave,
Thanks for the good word and it was our pleasure and our job to help our friends out.
I been out of it for a while, had no time to ride so I have not been on this forum checking my messages.
Currently, there is a back order issue with Garmin Zumo 550's so what I have in stock I have to...

For the money, the Magellan CrossoverGPS works well, it is not the Zumo 550 but either is the price.
I am not famailuar with Forest service roads and trails, sorry
If the old GPSMAP 276C is in pretty good condition, it could possibly sell for $300 to $400. Currently, refurbished units could be found for about $355.
As far a replacemet unit that's more compact and use on motorcycle and cars, I would recommend looking at the Zumo 450, 550 and also the...
Option:
If you chose NOT to commit to a long term service contract and only need the unit for a week or two, renting a tracking system with unlimited pings is a great option.

Thales no longer owns Magellan GPS, Shah Capital purhcased Magellan from Thales for $170M.
Magellan have done well this quarter passing up TomTom sales and they are upgrading their SAP software to make the process faster, so give these guys a chance to get better.
It's just part of the growing...
I seen a lot of recommendations as to what's the right unit for the FJR and I came up with a solution for those of you who wish to test drive a unit without commiting to it.
I would say if you can afford it, the Garmin Zumo 550 would be a great unit to have with but there are so much more...
Yes, we have the NT 2008 map update for the Garmin units.
Please give Rick a call 650-328-8832 , I am sure he will get you our cost on it. It's not that expensive and if you pick it up at the store, there is no shipping cost.
thanks

I think some of the bigger benefits of the Zumo is the portability (internal battery) and the high sensitivity SiRF III GPS receiver, along with that, the left hand larger icon touch screen display and newer user interface for motorcycles. The BT is an added feature also. The unit also acts as a...
We have the Garmin 2820, 2720, Zumo's, just have to ask to see if they are available. We rent those out locally and they are taken up very quickly and I hate to say I can't offer any FJR forum benifit discount for these rental units.

Give Cyclegadgets.com a try and get a price from them, we have these units in stock and can offer at cost to FJR members. Give Rick a call to check prices to make sure you are getting a fair deal from cyclegadgets.com. 408-298-8188 and he can quote you a price.
Good Luck

"Can you post or PM me your pricing? Sounds like a nice unit with all the good stuff"
All I can tell you is retail is $499 for the Maestro 4040 and $399 for the Maestro 4000, you price will be less.

"Have they chanced their menu system/software in recent years? I played with a...
Magellan has done it again, they just introduce the Maestro line, a 4.3" Nuvi like device that is a no nonsense personal navigation device without all the extras.
The new Magellan user interface is easy, practical and very intuitive, this is a huge change in direction for Magellan compare to...

The TomTom Rider uses the same mapping software as the Garmin Zumo and 276, 376, 2720, 2820 etc. They use NavTeq mapping software for the TomTom Rider and not the Tele Atlas, although I understand they can upgrade to the new TA software if customer wishes.
So, don't let the mapping...
