 Garmin 550 March 24, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Garmin 550 is a excellent GPS unit and I am very satisfied with it.
This is my first but after doing some home work on gps units, this was my only choice. If you are a biker like me, this is the unit that is the most versital. Being water proof and vibration proof and having the ability to put mp3 songs and poi's on the external memory card is a great plus. Garmin makes a excellent product and would not hestitate to purchase another one.
 I hope the second GPS works better than the first one. March 21, 2007

The GPS worked fine for a couple of days and then it never turned on again. I sent a mail to DIGITECHDEALS and they told me to send them the GPS and they would send me a new one. The new shall arrive this week. Fast response from DIGITECHDEALS.
Zumo lives up to expectations March 13, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Zumo was highly touted in numerous publications, prior to its release. It lives up to the best of these recommendations and then some. I have previous experience in boats and airplanes with use of similar products so it did not take long to pick up the basic functions; needless to say there is not a great deal of motorcycle riding in North Dakota in February but I did utilize the audomobile adaptor (included) on a recent trip to Orlando, Florida to visit the typical theme parks; I have always found the area to be particularly difficult to navigate due the crowed traffic conditions as well as a town that appears to have grown too quickly; nonetheless the Zumo performed flawlessly and saved much time and potential frustation; I did find a predictable flaw when I, through no fault of Zumo, missed a turn and was directed to make an immediate U turn; the problem was that there was six lanes of very busy traffic; the machine did quickly recover and provided an alternate routing, or "recalibrating" to use the words of the very nice lady in the unit; highly recommended; I can't wait until spring to use it on one of my bikes for cross country trips.
 ZUMO 550 GPS March 9, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been pleased with the GPS.The Zumo allows for avoiding certain roads however it does not include Interstates avoidance in the system
check. You can probably map this avoidance in the computer; however it is not as simple as through the system.
Voice direction works very well with the audio system of my motorcycle.

This unit was sent as a replacement for a stolen 2730 with GXM30 ant. At first I missed the 2730 but after using the Zumo for a month now, cant say I miss the 2730 at all. The ability to move the unit between car and bike is a huge plus, or the ability to use the unit with its internal battery is a huge plus. Jump into a friends car and just sit it in a console, it picks up the gps signal just fine. It even works in every room of my house unlike the older garmin units that required a clear view of the sky. The GXM30 ant is the only gripe, it plugs into the cradle and can be somewhat of a hassle to switch back and forth between vehicles.
While other GPS units might work better in different applications, the ZUMO hits the spot for dual use in a cage and on a bike. Plus the form factor allows one to put it in a jacket or back pack for use any and everywhere.
