Made for Two Wheels
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.

5 out of 5 stars Does everything I want it to do   July 5, 2008
After using a Garmin GPS60 in my travels, using the ZUMO 550 was a great improvement. I read some previous reviews and was a little disappointed in some of the shortcomings of the unit. I don't know if Garmin actually addressed the shortcomings of if the reviewer just didn't know how to access the feature. Two examples; one reviewer said that you couldn't "MARK" a location. This is easily done by simply touching the vehicle icon. You can then rename the location and save it to your favorites. Another reviewer talked about the lack of a compass option unless you are in the "off road" mode. If you are not navigating, there is a letter indicator on screen constantly and by one touch, you have access to a graphic compass. You always have access to the graphic compass page while navigating with one touch.
I am very satisfied with the ZUMO 550 and would recommend it. One thing I would have liked is the option of getting AM-FM radio instead of XM. I have cable TV, but I still have a problem with paying for radio.
I love gadgets, and I don't consider myself a "techy", but I rate the ZUMO 550 with a "10".



4 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed with this GPS   July 2, 2008
Everything I have been looking for in a GPS for all of my vehicles is included in the Zumo550. I can easily switch it between the motorcycle and my truck with zero effort. The MP3 player is a lifesaver on long trips. I just insert an 8GB SD card and let the music play. All of the controls are easily seen and the buttons can be pushed with gloves on.

The only thing I would change is the low fuel gauge. Instead of a pop-up window reminder of low fuel, it would be nice to have the voice prompt you and start showing the nearest gas stations. Picky, I know, but it woudl be a great feature. Other than my wishes, the unit is nearly perfect.



4 out of 5 stars Takes a licking and ...   July 1, 2008
I take the unit off the bike every time I stop
(I don't trust the locking screw).

One time I did not fully secure the GPS into the cradle.
While going down the road at 50+ miles per hour it flew off.
I thought great there's $600 down the drain.
I circled back and picked up the device.
It was banged up in a few places (the corners were completely scuffed).
I turned it on and it WORKED!
I have fully tested it and everything works (it's now 15+ days since the incident).

All-in-all a good GPS for those of us who are a little rough on our hardware.



4 out of 5 stars Zumo 550   June 28, 2008
Would have given 5 stars if the Zumo hadn't stopped working a week after I bought it, yep I said stopped working! I was gonna get really pissed but then called the tech help number and the girl on the other end was very helpful and got me going again in no time. Still not sure what happened but it hasn't happened since and as long as the GPS is working I love it!!! Takes care of all my needs on the bike as well as in the car. Wish it wasn't priced so high, but none the less I would recommend it highly!
