    I've been using my Zumo 550 for a couple of years now (on both bike/car). Great piece of kit.
    Yes, you can upload POIs, additional maps (Open Street Maps etc). Not sure about offers (you'll have to shop around online) but you could always try and buy a Zumo 550. They should be cheaper based on the availability of the newer model, and you might be able to pick one up second hand, from someone who is upgrading. Try eBay.

    whats the different between the 550 and 660? would the 550 be enough for a normal user?

    Have both the 550 and the 660, the latter is the business, never thought id say it but its the one I use most, battery life good too when in my top pocket, its far more portable and a better machine in my opinion
