They discontinued those recently and Best Buy's been clearanceing them for about half-price (sucks because no store in my state has any left).

Looking at Garmin's product page, though, these are really sucky replacements if I'm correct: no XM, no Bluetooth, no spoken street names, no MP3 player... Sure, their list price is half what the Zumo550 was, but Bluetooth headset compatibility at the very least is a must-have for motorcycle use.

But, BOAT US/West Marine has some handheld units where you can probably purchase the maps for from NavTeq. Problem is, the hardware is cheap - but its the damn maps that will kill you. $140 USD for a single region.]]>Jul 22nd 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/Jul 22nd 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/Jul 22nd 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/Jul 22nd 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/garmin-introduces-waterproof-nuvi-500-550-for-the-argonauts/--------------
Well done on the removable battery, Garmin! Would be great to see this on your ENTIRE range.
