Out There Somewhere
mmm. guess it is marketing pure and simple?Unfortunately, not for maps or software. Garmin's maps (and map updates) are purchased for a single GPS. If you went from the N??vi 5XX (great low cost, waterproof units, IMHO) to a Zumo at a later date, the maps could NOT be transferred.
However, any routes that you have created CAN be transferred to another unit.
Cheers,
do you save your routes on your PC (or MAC) or in an SD card or thumb drive?
if you use an SD card, (i saw in one post that the Zumo will take an SD card)
do the SD cards empty completely out each time and re-load clean? so far i have only used SD cards for cameras but may begin to use them to store music and use them in other ways as well.
or is there X amount of built-in memory in each GPS unit? OR can you save your routes within the parameters of software apps like Street & Trips?
