 Garmin Zumo 550 Awesome GPS for the motorcycle and family vehicle January 7, 2008
The Zumo 550, has performed, to this point, perfectly! The unit mounted easily on the bike (Yamaha Venture) and the car mount is solid and easy to use. Overall, I could not be happier with the unit. It helps to read the manual, but the unit is so simple to use, you can use it right out of the box, with a very easy to use menu selection. The unit satellite acquisition is fast and you are on your way very quickly. I recommend it for any motorcyclist who feels the need to use a GPS.
Zumo review January 7, 2008

This Zumo 550 was a gift I purchased for my husband. He is thrilled with the Zumo. From the minute he turned the Zumo on, it has worked beautifully. This little gadget does so much....we're still amazed with the flexibility of this unit. It works great on his bike (Harley Ultra) and easily goes from bike to vehicle in only a few seconds. Haven't purchased the XM antenna yet, but have been very pleased with the Zumo 550.
Outstanding product January 2, 2008
Outstanding product. I had a Garmin Street Pilot c330, which did a fairly good job. But when I used it on my motorcycle, I had to cover it with a rainshield which made it hard to see and also hard to hear. After I saw several friends who had the Zumo on their bikes, I decided to get one. Although they all use helmet headsets to hear theirs, I seldom wear one when traveling. I put in a 4GB SD card, which holds about 87 albums, plugged it into the auxiliary jack on the front of my radio, and both the sound and music come through loud and clear.
The bluetooth is a big plus. I had already installed bluetooth car kits in my vehicles, which many folks said it was hard to understand me when I talked. With the bluetooth in the Zumo, it not only works on my bike, but also works extremely well in the car. I put over 20,000 miles a year on my UltraClassic, and this makes navigating through backroads and interstates alike simple.
I watched the price on Amazon, and finally bought it for $627.00 with no tax and free shipping. It comes packaged with everything you need for both car and motorcycle!

My first purchased GPS unit for street use. I am totally satisfied with this unit, I used it on a 5K+ mile in 9 day road trip and all the benefits of a navigation system were there right with me on the bike. Road thru days of rain, heading east on the 10, LA, MS, AL, FL, GA, and then north on the 95 GA, SC and NC it was pouring in all thoses states their respective crossing and this never screwed with the unit. Real hard cross winds in OK, TX and NM didn't phase it and neither did temperatures as low as 30. I rode at high speeds with the unit and it did not interfere with handling or loosen the mount. '07 ZX-10. Functional mounting hardware comes with and if one ever takes a road trip in a four wheel vehicle with this unit the kit comes with a car powered mount with voice...very versatile and I am a happy camper.
 Zummo 550 December 23, 2007
This really is da bomb for a motorcycle GPS. I have had 3 others and after much research went with the 550.
I would go 5 stars but like others may have mentioned.... the MP3 player cannot be used unless the unit is in either the car cradle or the motorcyle cradle with external power connected. The headphone jack is part of the cradle not the GPS body. What this means to me is... I can't just pop it off the bike and listen to music in my tent/hotel or around camp. It is not a dig deal since I have a mp3 on my cell phone but it would be a nice feature to have.
