 Love the Zumo! June 1, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great product-
Pros: easy to understand interface. Intuitive menus. Easy to use even wearing gloves. Screen visibility is awesome even in direct sunlight. Bluetooth capabilities are flawless. Internal power (battery) is a nice feature.
Cons: Routing options are very basic-ie no trackback or route reversal on the unit. Lost the "security screw" (vibrated out) in the first few days. No "satelite status" page, just signal strength bars.
Overall a good value.

Easy to use! We love it! I would have liked to have known about the extra parts required (for motorcycle use) to be able to use it to it's full capability. Such as wiring harness and special antenna for XM radio. But otherwise it has been one of the best extras we have purchased for the bike. We have already used it on several long trips and are planning a 9 day trip this summer. It transfers easily to the car or truck with little effort. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a GPS for a bike.
Garmin Got It Right! May 18, 2007

Just returned from a 2 week stint in NM with the Zumo 550 mounted on my GoldWing. This thing works great. Piped the audio thru the Aux input.
The system acquires satellite signals very quickly, the menu structure is intuitive, the touch screen works very easily and is easy to read even in bright sun and from behind a dark visor, the audio volume was excellent even at 80MPH on interstate and the turn by turn instructions are well timed to give riders plenty of time to adjust lane positions and riding speed. You can give it your estimated gas mileage and at end of a tank it will present you with a gas pump icon which, when touched, lists the nearest gas stations to your position. Touch the gas station you want and it will route you to it. The Zumo was great support and a joy to use during my ride. I found only two very minor "quirks". If you add the optional SD card as I did, you will need to format it as a FAT32. I formatted as NTFS and the MP3 files were not recognized although my personal POI file was recognized. Also, when you load additional maps, I loaded some US TOPO maps, the Zumo defaults to its internal City Navigator and it "flashes the Topo to let you know that it's there. To get the Topo map you have to deselect the City Navigator. Neither of these "quirks" was covered by reading the owner's manual. All in all this is an awesome system that does not disappoint. Garmin got the Zumo design right!

I had read the reviews posted on this web site and others. So after purchasing this product I also ordered the FM accessory as well.
Once I received it I updated all the firmware. Made my own mount for my vehicle so I could use the automotive mount provided. I made a trip to downtown L.A. and usually I have to call the account to get directions even after printing out directions from mapquest. I have to say I made the trip there and back with out a problem. Not because of my skills as a navigator. I missed an exit ramp but the Garmin got be right back on track. I missed a turn and the unit corrected my directions. Then on the way home with major traffic the GPS routed me around it and got me home faster then I ever have accomplished on my own. I would recommend this to anyone for motorcycles and cars. It is the highest rated non dashboard mount GPS around. I have to agree it truly is a great product.

does everything I expected and does it well. Screen is easily readable even in direct sunlight. Controls are simple and easy to use wearing gloves. If you're looking for a great motorcycle GPS this is it.
