 Garmin 550 March 16, 2008

Great GPS. I had an older 2610 that was going bad. The 550 came with everything I needed.
Worth every penny March 5, 2008

This is truly the best GPS I have ever owned. It calculates directions fast and aquires satelites even quicker. This is the only GPS I have ever owned that aquired satalites and navagated inside my house. (my other 4 units won't do this)Out doors I have never lost the signal although I haven't used it in Philly or New York yet. (tall buildings can sometimes block the signal on my other units) When you go in a diffrent direction than the GPS is telling you It takes 10 - 15 seconds to generate new directions which is really fast. The only complaint I have is that the speaker in the car mount could be a little louder. At highway speeds if you don't have a really quiet car (we use it in a GMC Safari) it can be hard to hear. If you bicycle you can put the motorcycle mount on your bicycle and the battery last about 4 hrs.(imagine bicycling with XM Satelite and MP3 built right in) I purchased this for my motorcycle (Yamaha FZ1)and love it so much I use it in my car also instead of my other units. Water proof and shock resistant so the rain won't stop you either. It even will let you view photos on it. I keep a picture of my kids on the startup screen. It reminds me to keep the speeds in check. This is an A+ unit and I would say go for it. Go check out Garmin.com there is a realy neat forum where you can share favorite rides for others to download to there units

Garmin Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator
The voice is hard to understand. Searching takes a long time and sometimes it never finds it. For a few hours it just stopped working then it started working again?? I don't think the screen is all that great. The speaker and microphone on the bluetooth are terrible. Everyone says they can't hear me. I'm not very happy at all with this product. I have a toyota gps that works great and I have an older Magellan that runs circles around this Garman product. I hope it's really water proof!!
Great for Scooters, too! February 26, 2008
Great application for Ducati and Vespa Scooters, too! Very user friendly, also very portable, easily transferable between two-wheel vehicles and four-wheel vehicles. Can download updates for European excursions, too!
Works well on both bikes February 15, 2008

I purchased the Garmin Zumo 550, along with the extra cradle and wiring harness since I have two Harleys. I combined them with the E-Caddy locking system on both bikes. On my Softail it was an easy installation and works very well, except of course you cannot hear the audio prompts on the bike, unless you install speakers.
On the Ultra I wired the sound through my radio speakers using a 3.5 mm cable and using the Aux port, that you can use with your MP3 player etc.
The prompts are loud and clear.
The 550 works very well. I alternate it between both bikes and my car. The suction mount for the car leaves a little to be desired, but the 550 has great features including the Bluetooth capability and also the screen slider to use with heavy gloves. So far so good, but it is the best system I have had in over 45 years of riding. I recommend it to anyone.
