 Zumo, best GPS January 20, 2008
I purchased a Zumo 550 for my Harley Davidson motorcycle. When it arrived we found that I could move it to my car. It is accurate, easy to use, and the price was right. I would highly recommend this to others.
Exceeding expectations January 16, 2008
The device has not made it to my bike yet. It has been taken over by my non-technical wife which speaks highly of it's ease of use.
It is definitely suitable for a gloved hand but also adjustable. It is versatile and intuitive. Accuracy is good and since we are on the road more she appreciates the warning as to how far away the next turn is.
I would recommend this device to anyone on a bike or for a car. I also bought a couple of Nuvi 360s for Christmas gifts.
This is a great product.
zoom with the ZUMO January 14, 2008
Having waiting to purchase our first GPS it had to be multi functional.
The ZUMO 550 is easily switched from motorcycle to car with the included brackets. The touch screen has worked well even for novice operators. Directions has been excellent although it insists on taking the main roads and not the usual shortcuts.
Motorcycle Rider/Car Driver... this is a great GPS January 13, 2008

The 550 is as good if not better than my factory installed car GPS. Havng the buttons on the left is very handy. Though it's not recommended to use them when moving, I have found myself adjusting the volume of the MP3 player from time to time. Thus I mention that they could have made that task a bit easier, but that's a very minor detail.
I do wish they made a sun shade for the 550. I did find one that "sort of works" online. But when it is in place it is a bit tough to operate those left hand buttons. Again, a minor point.
The case that comes with the 550 is a very nice case, but it lacks a belt loop. So you either have to carry it in your hand, or put into a carry-all bag if you happen to have one. Now this is a pain in the butt.
Now here's my biggest complaint. To use the full range of options (i.e. the XM Radio, and the Traffic / weather) you must purchase a antenna that sells for any where between $250 down to $190. That is the cheapest I've seen it online. So, you buy the 550 for the nice round number of $1,000 you still have to add the price of the antenna. Plus if you want the radio, weather and traffic you have to add the monthly charge for those services. The monthly charges I wouldn't mind so much, but I do not understand why this antenna costs more than about $35 or $40. I only think that is a rip off. But all in all, you will enjoy the 550.
Garmin Zumo 550 gets it done January 7, 2008

I purchased the Garmin Zumo 550 and installed it on my Honda VTX 1300. The installation was very easy and the left handed function works very well. First trip took me directly to the address I wanted with no problems. Diplay is easy to read in all lighting. Device is easily moved from bike to car. Only suggestion I recommend is to purchase the key lock for the mount for the motorcycle handle bars. Really enjoy the speed, direction and milage the unit displays while traveling. Audio in the car mount it excellent.
