Lemans Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 http://www.shipdog.com/product.asp?i=GARZUMO450B&blast=10/24/2007 Anyone familiar with this vendor? Best price by far I've seen.
GSW Ron Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I have purchased a Garmin GPS accessory from Shipdog w/o any problem.
bakerzdosen Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 No experience with them, but that is a good price.
steve.foote Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Before you buy the 450, keep in mind you may need to purchase some of the needed components separately. The 550 comes with everything and is cheaper than buying the 450 and the accessories.
hopz Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 You also may want to consider the voices. The 550 has full TTS capability... Text To Speech and with that you get full voice directions... i.e. Turn Right on Elm Street. with the 450 you do not get full TTS, i.e. you get Turn Right I love the TTS because I can write custom descriptions of waypoints... like "Watch For Really Nasty Curve Ahead" etc. Can't do that with 450. See the Garmin site to compare features of 450/550 side by side: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?c...pareProduct=414

I made the error of buying the 450 and finding I needed to put about another $150 to make it fully functional in the car. The 450 kit would be fine for a bike only use; otherwise go with the 550 - ymmv
