In fact, I'd like to see all their maps (City, TOPO, and Bluechart) all integrated out of the box. The last thing I want to do is slap down $600 and then spend $300 more on maps and whatever else. I desire a do-it-all GPS device that doesn't require hundreds of dollars worth of options on top of everything else.

And I do NOT want to have to swap memory cards - nobody wants to have to do that... I don't know why manufacturers can't figure that out. Just give me one card with everything on it. If that's the way it is, then so be it. But if not, then they need to simplify things with one card.

Garmin is getting closer, but they're not quite there, yet. If they can just integrate a speaker, auto maps (and applicable interface) that are as good as what's found on their finest auto GPS devices, and spoken street names and directions, then and ONLY then, would I be sold.]]>May 7th 2009 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/garmin-launches-oregon-550-and-oregon-550t-outdoor-navigators/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/garmin-launches-oregon-550-and-oregon-550t-outdoor-navigators/May 7th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/garmin-launches-oregon-550-and-oregon-550t-outdoor-navigators/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/garmin-launches-oregon-550-and-oregon-550t-outdoor-navigators/Jun 23rd 2009 5:50PM
