Garmin Zumo 550 or TomTom Rider V2 Europe?

[Stig]

Hi all,

The question's in the title really. I'm after a decent sat nav to replace the TomTom mobile in my phone.

I'd like to use it in both the car and on the bike (so +1 to Zumo for inclusive car mount on this score at least but like the familiar TomTom interface.

Any opinions?

I've got the Zumo550. I've taken it all over Europe on my bike. I've also used it in my car. It's great. I have no idea what the TomTom interface is like, but the Garmin Zumo is great and easy to use.
It comes with a dvd with all the European mapping on it including lots of Eastern Europe roads. It plays MP3s, it bluetooths to my phone.
With the DVD loaded into your PC you can plan routes and make changes to it. In short it's Brilliant
I actualy own 4 Garmins at present and have owned 8 in total, way back to when Satnavs didn't even autoroute.

I forgot to add. I'm voting for the Garmin!
