The only issue I have with it is that it does show tracks on the screen but these can not be saved to your home computer and then reloaded at a later date.

Once the memory fills up it deletes the oldest track.
I use the Nuvi 500, which is essentially the same unit as the 550 with the exception on some of the maps included, I think. It by no means would have the same functionality as a marine unit but it works fine for my purposes. I do know you can save a route on the unit and call it up at anytime. I don't know of any reason why you couldn't then upload that to your PC using MapSource, but I've never tried it so couldn't say for sure. For that matter I can't say I can think of a reason why I would.
