 Seller does't know their own products August 20, 2008
I asked the person who I spoke why there was such a difference in prices from one retailer to another. He told me that the differences where because of the different versions of the machines and that I would not be able to update an older unit with new software.
With this information I bought the unit from 17th Street Photo.
When I called Garmin they told me that there is no different versions and that any updates would be available to me after buying the unit. With this information I could have bought it from another store at a lower price.
I gave my review regarding my purchase, but after finding out from Garmin that there is no difference between years or (versions as I was told) I change my review.
The following day a representative from 17th Street Photo called me asking me to change my review for a 20 dollar refund, I told them that I would have to think about it and to call me back later.
I found this to be insulting and when they called me back I told them that I would not change my review and that in fact I was going to change my review again letting other customers know what they were doing to gain a better review, they then offered me 30 dollars to remove my review, but I refused.
I believe that people should know what this company is doing to gain the trust of customer to buy their products. If they had no stars that's what I would have given them.Garmin 010-00567-00 Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator
 Zumo is the way to go! August 19, 2008
I have owned this device for almost two months now, and find it to be a very well made product. Adding an 8 GB SD card makes it the only music player that I need for the motorcycle and the car. It's a damned fine GPS too. As usual, the mapping products supplied by Garmin leave a little to be desired, since there have been a few roads I've travelled that weren't in the maps (on four year old roads). But overall, anyone should be very happy purchasing this unit.
Outstanding Product August 17, 2008
I have bought the Garmin Zumo 550 about 3 weeks ago. I have had the power cable installed on my motorcycle by my Honda dealer and I mounted the unit myself.The GPS is most useful when riding,especially when riding to FAVORITES. It provides clear and concises directions. It also provides additional information, such as speed, time, altitude and compass directions. The screen of the unit can be read very well, even in bright sunshine. The touch screen provides the ability to change menus, volume of sound, etc. with the glove on and while riding.
For me the built in MP3 player was a most important additional feature. I down loaded MP3 files from my computer onto a 4 Gig SD memory card. This gives me about 20 hours of my favorite music. I use JVC ear plugs.
I recommend the Garmin Zumo 550 highly to my fellow motorcyclists. Buy it and you will extremly happy.
Great GPS August 13, 2008
Combined with the products offered from Kennedy Electronics, I was able to mount this on my Honda 94 Goldwing Trike and run it directly into my intercom/radio. I have a switch that allows me to flip back and forth between the radio and the Garmin so I can hear the output right on my speakers or through a headset.
It does everything I wanted it to do, and I will probably be purchasing a memory card so I can download some music for trips where my local radio station doesn't reach.
So far, it has been 100% accurate for all my needs and flawlessly led me to my destinations in towns I don't know at all, as well as any local places. I also use it on occasion in my car with the adaptor it came with for car use.
Very easy to install the mount on the bike, I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a portable GPS for their bike or trike.
 Great navigator, marginal manual August 3, 2008
The navigator itself works wonderfully. I couldn't be more satisfied with the performance. The directions have been very good and the text to voice has very clear pronounciations. The manual is another story. Most of what I've learned with regard to operation of the device has been by trial and error. This biggest headache I had was getting the device to give me voice navigation prompts to my headset with bluetooth. Eventually, I noticed that there was an audio button in the bluetooth settings and this allowed me to set it up correctly. There is nothing in the manual about the audio button. The manual is next to useless.
