Biggest change is the addition of Google Birdseye mapping.

The way the compass works, how fast it responds, and added range.. Birdseye isn't the only advantage.

If you are one to run your updates like ya should, you'll like how it updates the collars and if you like being able to customize colors and other functions that the 220 can't then its worth buying or swapping up .
