Pros: For motorcycles, but also great for car and handheld usage; Works for geocaching
Cons: No Mac OS X support yet; Routing sometimes takes you onto very secondary roads
Bottom Line:
The best GPS I ever had, don't be fooled into thinking it's just for motorcycles, or just for navigation.

An interesting concept that can use some improvement
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Small, Powerful, Bright display, 4+ hour battery operation. Very sensitive. Car & Bike mounts included.
Cons: Fuzzy display graphics. Poor TTS quality. Not configurable.
Bottom Line:
I still recommend the 276c over this model for the knowledgeable motorcyclist. The 550 will be better when they resolve some of the flaws. Maybe the 450?
