 Great product.........but June 11, 2008

The 450 is a great product with wonderful features too many to mention here. I have used it on a 800 mile motorcycle trip and it performed admirably. It's user friendly as long as a new user is not technically challenged. The visibility in bright sun light is surprisingly good. I could go on and on about the Zumo and I recommend it highly. Is it perfect? Probably not. Nothing is. It does come close, IMHO. You noticed that I rated it 4 stars. That's where the 'but' comes in.......If I had to do it over again, I would skip the 450 and go directly to the 550 and pay the additional money. Here's why.....for the kind of money spent, I decided to also use it in the car. To be able to do that, I had to purchase a car mount and power cord. By the time I added the costs for those items, I could nearly have paid the price difference between the 450 and 550. The 550 comes with the car mount and has some additional features such as Text To Voice (it will announce a turn by saying 'turn left on Main Street' instead of just saying 'turn left') and Blue Tooth capable.
Bottom line is this, if you don't care about the additional features (which I didn't think I did) and you don't think you'll be using it in your car, get the 450. If you intend to use it in a car as well as your motorcycle, pay the difference and get the 550. In any event, I don't think you'll be disappointed with either unit.
I absolutely love my Zumo.
Very nice butttt....... June 5, 2008
Very well laid out. Ample amplification for sound. But would it be soooo difficult to offer a home plug-in charging accessory? Perhaps making it standard issue since the unit is shipped partially charged. And product description on my 450 failed to disclose it came with a in-line power wire for the unit to the bike. (sent seperate ordered one back)

This GPS is easy to use with it's touch screen. Finding fuel or a place to stay is a snap. It has however just shut off a time or two when I have punched "find fuel." That causes a delay of more than a few minutes and I have to watch the road as well as figure out what went wrong with it. This is a design flaw I think as I am not the only one who has experienced this anoying querk. The softwear that comes with this GPS is pretty good and makes planning a trip half the fun. Learning the softwear can be a patience tester. Directions for using it (the softwear) are not very good. Once one figures it out, its not bad.

I purchased the 450. It arrived on time, but...
The unit was used, there were scratches on it, the parts were simply thrown into the box. Amazon was trying to charge me for a new unit but shipped a used device in an unsealed box, in clearly used condition.
Buyer beware.

I replaced my Garmin 2610 with this newer GPS. What an improvement. Great map view and lots of motorcycle touring specific information. Glad I upgraded. Highly recommend to any biker, especially touring scooters.
