This might be worth a consideration ->
If you can get hold of a faulty 500/550, Garmin will replace/fix it for ~�100. I did it with one, and they sent me a whole new boxed unit, complete with mounts and everything.
It's a long shot though.

I did that with a Quest. Sent back a 4 year old unit with a faulty antenna and got back a new one with 2009 maps. The "service/replacement" cost was about the same as the map upgrade!
My "new" Quest is still working fine, but the screen is small and buttons fiddly to use with gloves on.
The ability to follow off-road routes/tracks is essential - do you think the 660 is less able than the older units in this area?
