The 550 could play music. There was another cheaper variant (was it 350?? ) that didn't gave the mp3 player. Memory might have that wrong.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Correct remembered that it has to be wired ( used to have wired ear plugs) or a Bluetooth dongle.

I only ever used wired stuff with my 550. I don't recall whether or not bluetooth was an option in those days.
Whatever, it had an mp3 player.

JfHeaath. First thank you for "the honourable gentleman" part. :oops:
I was actually on a route i had installed into the 550 (one I already knew), and was receiving no directions at all (do you wish to go to start point? etc). Recalculation was on, only one map being used, and Zumo connected only to bluetooth headset.
Problem is beyond my understanding. Even did a factory reset (no joy). Think 550 has gone to the satnav graveyard in the sky. :)

You checked the volume mixer on the 550, I assume ?
