 Motorcycle Unit Zumo 550 November 17, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
To start the 550 seemed to be the all in one, except it doesn't have an FM transmitter. Also Garmins site said it is compatible with my V3 phone, but they didn't say they knew about pairing problems trying to get the phone and the head set to work all at the same time. So Garmin exchanged it for a newer already up dated unit. This one tries to pair up, but not quite there. Also the replacement unit, has problems keeping up with the roads. Telling me to turn 4 to 5 seconds after I past the turn. Now Garmin wants me to send this unit to them (at my cost) so they can test and try different things with it, mean while I'll be without a GPS and as a Road Captain with planned rides, that will be tuff doings. Wish I had the original Zumo 550 unit back. So know what you want. I use the V3 & H350 both Motorola,(and those two work well together) So pick which is most important to you. Use with your phone or hearing the Zumo while using it on your bike, it won't do both. Maybe if you have a different phone and headset. Oh and Motorola tells me the V3 has never been able to pair up like that ???? But one can only go by what info. is on their sites. Best of luck and Ride Safe & Ride Often.
 Agreat motorcycle GPS November 8, 2007

This is my second motorcycle GPS and it definitely comes much closer to perfect than my previous one. I bought this model for Bluetooth and I have to say that function works perfectly. Combined with the interphone motorcycle headset it is the perfect combination. Listen to music, GPS instructions and even phone calls while you ride. Your phone book loads into it and you can add a SD card for music. As a GPS it functions well allowing you to create routes which are really nice for motorcycles. As advertised, it works with a glove on which is very handy. The only negative is once on a route, if you go off, you cannot tell it which via point to go to next, it guesses, and sometimes it guesses wrong. Other than that, I highly recommend it.
Fantastic! October 19, 2007
Don't even think about another unit for your motorcycle or car. Works fantastic! Better than all the Magelan's I have purchased over the years. Very easy interface and glove friendly.
I wish there was a more secure mount for the motorcycle as it may fall out of the cradle without the screw. A lanyard would be a nice addition.

The Zumo 550 GPS has worked like a charm for me, right out of the box. Its controls and manipulations are intuitive and a cinch to master. Instalation is easy,and straight forward. The mounts on both my car and motorcycle and all hardware and instructions, came with the unit in the well-designed box.
I have little interest or talent for technical puzzle- solving or complicated wrenching, so this product was a friendly, knowledgeable passenger from the first use. On the second use, it got me to a destination when I had absolutely no idea where I was. This is the first and only ground-based GPS I have used, but I can't imagine a better one. I am thankful and pleased that I got this particular iteration of the GPS.

Pros: easy to use even with my cold weather gloves on!
Cons: I don't have enough vacation time to ride my bike on more trips
"I received my Zumo 550 in the mail on the day I was leaving for a five day motorcycle trip. I did not have time to read the instructions, only time to mount it and go! The unit was so simple to use I was an expert by the end of the day. I traveled 1900 total miles on this trip and the Zumo 550 became an invaluable tool! I used it in the mountains of North Carolina always expecting the unit to Not know where I was or loose satilites but that Never happened. The built in blooth tooth linked my cell phone and bluetooth headset and I was able to hear directions clearly! With the extra mount for my car, I am able to quickly move the unit from bike to car effortlessly. I look forward to adding the XM antenna to an already feature packed unit. I loaded my 2GB SD card and listened to my favorite music and also loaded pictures of the trip on the unit as well. Don't bother looking at any other units for your motorcycle, THIS IS IT!!"
As for you folks upset about having to use a headset to hear the directions, how were you expecting to hear anything from a speaker on a GPS at highway speeds? Why would you not want the blue tooth headset to link your phone and listen to mp3 music as well? Anyway, everyone has an opinion.
