The zumo is made for extreme durability; it's vibration-tested, waterproof, and built with fuel-resistant plastics to withstand the elements. It's also intuitive, with a glove-friendly touch screen with left-handed controls that make it easy to operate. There's a bright, sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display that makes it easy to view, as well as a unique motorcycle console for trip information, including a fuel gauge to warn you when its time to fill up. The display measures 3.5 inches diagonally and features 320 x 240 pixel resolution. Measuring 4.8 x 3.9 x 1.6-inches (WxHxD) and weighing just 10.6 ounces, the zumo is small enough to carry with you while you're off the bike. The high-sensitivity GPS receiver is powered by the SiRF Star chipset, which offers extreme accuracy, even when you're riding under dense foliage or between tall buildings. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location. The zumo comes with a motorcycle mount with universal mounting hardware so you can mount it anywhere. An automobile mount is also included, and it features an integrated speaker. Garmin also provides custom caps, which are available in a variety of colors, so you can reflect your style. Navigate the Open Road The zumo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs) database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and the zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. In addition, zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras, and it also includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. Plus, the unit is fully compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide feature, a free utility that allows you to build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3 files. A rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery that offers up to three hours of use is integrated into the zumo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, the zumo even accepts electronic maps, making it the ultimate off-road navigator. Hands-Free Calls and Wireless Voice Prompts With the zumo's Bluetooth wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect the device to your Bluetooth-enabled headset/helmet and cell phone to make and receive hands-free calls. You can even make phone calls to POIs through the zumo's Bluetooth interface. In addition, The zumo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly. Traffic, Weather, and Radio With optional XM subscriptions and an XM antenna, you can check the weather, move ahead of traffic and listen to the radio when you travel with the zumo. As an alternative, the zumo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and the zumo recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups. Route Planning, Sharing, and Entertainment The zumo makes it easy to plan your next trip and share routes with your riding buddies. Plan trips on your computer before you start. Search for food and fuel stops and local attractions. Then, transfer your route to your zumo and go. At the end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with other zumo riders, and review your travels in Google Earth. SD card expansion makes it easy for storage and route sharing, and you can download routes to share with your riding buddies. You can also load MP3s onto the unit so you can enjoy music while you're riding. Plus, a JPEG picture viewer lets you share photos of your adventures with friends and family. What's in the Box zumo 550, preloaded City Navigator NT North America, MapSource City Navigator NT DVD (full-unlock), motorcycle mount with RAM mounting hardware, automotive suction cup mount with integrated speaker, dashboard disk, carrying case, AC charger, vehicle power cable, motorcycle power cable, USB interface cable, security screwdriver, custom caps (silver and black), Garmin stickers, owner's manual on disk, and quick reference guide.

 Rating:  - A good purchase, but watch for the XM surprise.I travel a lot on my motorcycle, and often to out-of-state locations that I haven't traveled to before. And I enjoy listening to music when I travel, so the Garmin Zumo seemed like a perfect choice. GPS and XM combined specifically for a motorcycle. Delivery was prompt, though the shipper called and advised that they would be delivering it "between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m." and that it had to be signed for... Yeah, Thanks.... Another day off from work... The unit came with two mounting options, which ... Read More Rating:  - EZ to use The Garmin Zumo 550 GPS is a terrific machine, Easy to use , very viewable in daylight. I use it on my Harley Davidson and plot my route on my computer. All back roads!. I have used Garmin GPS's on my boats for years and would not buy another brand as Garmin have performed very well under all conditions. I would recommend this unit to any Motorcycle riders looking for a GPS. The Price through Amazon was by far the mosr reasonable. Vince Macaluso Rating: - NEED HELP!Amazon and the product are great. However, if you need help from Garmin, good luck. I called several times and never was able to get passed the PLEASE WAIT on the automated phone message. Tried all day. Went on the internet and found other Garmin phone numbers with no success. Rating: - 550 StarsAwesome product, easy to learn to use, and even easier to use on the motorcycle even when moving. Why did I wait so long to get my Zumo 550! Oh yeah, the price. Anyway, It was worth it, I don't regret it. Rating: - Zumo to goThe Zumo 550 is AWESOME. On the bike it is very easy to operate, even with gloves on. Programming is a cinch, either on the computer and then download, or right on the GPS unit itself. I highly recommend this unit for any biker out there needing directions! I wired it direct to the bike, and the handlebar mount works very easily, and has the safety feature built in so no one can steal it. Plus, even if it's stolen, the thief can't use it! What a feature loaded unit! The only reason I didn't give ... Read More |
