[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 59811, member: 161"] Dear Colin, You do not specifically say what the "small problem" is with your Zumo 550. If it is a mechanical/electrical it could be that components are no longer available. If the problem is to do with software or the maps themselves there should not be a problem. Is your problem mechanical or software/maps? I use a Zumo 660 and a friend uses a Zumo 550. The friend with the Zumo 550 has used it to navigate around France. We both have "lifetime" updates for the maps. We both get the same version of the maps. (Currently City Navigator Europe NT 2015.2 - V.18.20) We also both use the Garmin Mapsouce programme on our computers to plot interesting routes for club runs etc. These are then transferred to the GPS unit. (Mapsource is no longer supported but the last version of the programme, V6. 16.3 works fine with any new map updates and I just don't like the newer Basecamp[B] [/B]routing programme that Garmin does support. If the GPS does not have enough internal memory to hold the maps they can be put onto a suitable capacity SD memory card. the 550 uses a standard SD card, the 660 a micro SD card. If your problem is with the map size and installing the maps there are a couple of links below that may help. I'm no expert but will be pleased to help if I can.

Before I bought the Zumo I used a Garmin Street Pilot III. This developed a mechanical fault that Garmin fixed and posted back to me. This was 6 or 7 years ago so.
