[QUOTE="cyclemed, post: 1214563, member: 15038"] Hello All: Thinking of replacing my two Garmin Zumo 550's with something newer. These are from 2007 / 2008 and getting a little long in the tooth. I do use the traffic and weather features, therefore I'd like to retain those functions. I have Lifetime Maps so they are up to date. I am partial to Garmin so staying with that, so here are my questions: 1. If you have done a similar swap, please comment on which unit you went with and why. 2. Is the change really that much of a change and worth it? NexRad better than cartoon weather. 3. Would I be better off just using my iPhone with Google Maps and streaming XM as I have the online account? 4. Currently, the Zumo is run through my J&M 2003. Again, thoughts on this since not a cheap. Wondering the GPS is the best option given the capabilities of our phones and such now. [/QUOTE]
