Default Zumo 400

Hi There,

The main differences between the 400 and the 500 are the maps that come with the unit and the Bluetooth (i.e. the 400 doesn't have it)

If you're happy with the maps you've got and want to use a non-bluetooth autocom with it, then it should be fine.

I have a 500 and this can take an SD card to boost the map memory (up to 4GB supported by Garmin), flip the bottom cap on your 400 and see if there's a slot there for an SD card

It should be possible to connect the AutoCom directly to the plug jack on the LHS of the Zumo cradle.

Hope this info helps,

David

:-)

It's a pretty good unit, so you should have fun learning to use it. Using the PC MapSource software properly is IMO the most difficult part. So have a look at my tutorial here for help:

Good luck!
