 Great Product May 15, 2008
The Garmin Zumo is evertything that I expected. I had a problem with the unit locking up, but the customer service folks were really great, and got the unit working quickly.
This product is highly recommended.
 Buy a map! May 15, 2008
I made the mistake of letting this thing choose a backroads route for me only to find out that it took me 80 miles out of my way. This wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been riding for 10 hours already and was in the mood for some site seeing. The software for the unit needs HELP! It will not let you easily alter a route it has chosen for you. The mapping software on the PC is much easier to manipulate. So, either plan your every move before you leave home, buy maps as you go or take your laptop with you.
The MP3 player and photo viewer work well.
Purchased from Beach Camera - Fantastic retailer!!!!!!!!!
Garmin Zumo 550 May 5, 2008
Fantastic product. The motorcycle mount is flexable and can be used in several locations. There is zero vibration with the device in the mount. Have enjoyed the map only feature when on the back roads. This device is a must if you enjoy touring.
ZUMO 550 Excellent Product - Great sale experience May 4, 2008
The ZUMO 550 is a excellent product. It preform as advertised. The accessories that are included do the job for mounting and wiring on a motorcycle and in a vehicle.
The delivery was timely. A very good experience all around.
 Great GPS for Motorcycling April 28, 2008
I bought this zumo 550 to replace the Garmin Quest 2 on my bike. It takes a bit of work to understand HOW to work it because Garmin's e-manual fails to include some of the simplest info. There are, however, great online sources of info and forums for the zumo as well. Once I got the hang of it, the zumo works great.
It mounts easily and wires into the motorcycle's inside-the-fairing harness easily and then plugs into the aux audio input on the Harley's sound system so that the zumo's voice directions can be heard over the bike noise. It also plays mp3 files which allowed me to skip the purchase of a new .mp3 player that I had been planning on buying as well.
It is somewhat time-consuming to locate and play a certain song when the SD card holds 500 songs but if I was concerned I'd use a few smaller cards instead of the 2GB card I use.
The built-in maps are adequate and Garmin is sending me a new map since I bought this as the new maps were coming out.
Once you have it figured out it is pretty easy to navigate around with this zumo. Included is also a new MapSource for hooking it up to my PC but it works just fine with the MapSource which has been in place for my Quest 2.
So far - trouble-free. Works well on the bike and a car mount is also included AND it works on batteries and is small enough for many pockets so you can take it anywhere, anytime.
From the amount of questions I see on the help forums it is evident that Garmin could do better with its instruction manuals but I think the preliminary confusion and questions are worth the result.
