I'd probably buy one if my 2610 weren't soldiering along so happily Smile

Scott,
Maybe you can do a return/repurchase!

I just bought a discontinued Nuvi 750. Woulda loved a Zumo but could not justify $$$. This is my first GPS so wanted to get my feet wet on something more "disposable". Paid $139 from Tigerdirect.com last week. Has needed-for-me earphone jack and MP3.
I missed the screaming deals on refurb 27XX and 28XX's last spring.
Had gone to Bestbuy to put hands on a unit since I'd never done so. Found out Garmin (and maybe everyone else) has discontinued earphone jacks and MP3 functions--except in the ZUMO's. That spurred me to pull the trigger on the 750 before they were gone.
Trying to figure it out now to see if someday a Zumo would be needed.
May turn out my analog GPS (maps) is just fine.
Just another toy to play with.

Good luck
Mike

Mike, yea I already thought of that, but this close to HM3 I wasn't going to mess with it.

Not to mention the fact that I already purchaced it thru a discount vendor so the garmin rebate wouldn't have qualified anyway.

Seems they are directing the rebate to retail sales, not online discount vendors. I did have a local(60 miles away) retailer that would have sold me a 550 for $600(that's 100 below cost) but then I would have had $50 in sales taxes on top of that, so scratch that route of purchase.

I was just looking again at MyGarmin acct, they are showing that the 2820 could be updated to the 2011.10 maps, but when you look at the compatable unit listing for the map set the 2820's aren't listed as compatible.

Now that I have my 550 mounted up and running I may experiment with the 2820 to see if it will swallow the larger map size or not.
