 NEED HELP! July 12, 2008
Amazon and the product are great. However, if you need help from Garmin, good luck. I called several times and never was able to get passed the PLEASE WAIT on the automated phone message. Tried all day. Went on the internet and found other Garmin phone numbers with no success.
550 Stars July 10, 2008
Awesome product, easy to learn to use, and even easier to use on the motorcycle even when moving. Why did I wait so long to get my Zumo 550! Oh yeah, the price. Anyway, It was worth it, I don't regret it.
 Zumo to go July 7, 2008
The Zumo 550 is AWESOME. On the bike it is very easy to operate, even with gloves on. Programming is a cinch, either on the computer and then download, or right on the GPS unit itself. I highly recommend this unit for any biker out there needing directions! I wired it direct to the bike, and the handlebar mount works very easily, and has the safety feature built in so no one can steal it. Plus, even if it's stolen, the thief can't use it! What a feature loaded unit! The only reason I didn't give it a five star rating is I wish it was a little bigger, and had voice directions, without having to plug it into a bluetooth device, as some people don't have communication devices on their motorcycles (like me). Otherwise, awesome product.
Does everything I want it to do July 5, 2008

After using a Garmin GPS60 in my travels, using the ZUMO 550 was a great improvement. I read some previous reviews and was a little disappointed in some of the shortcomings of the unit. I don't know if Garmin actually addressed the shortcomings of if the reviewer just didn't know how to access the feature. Two examples; one reviewer said that you couldn't "MARK" a location. This is easily done by simply touching the vehicle icon. You can then rename the location and save it to your favorites. Another reviewer talked about the lack of a compass option unless you are in the "off road" mode. If you are not navigating, there is a letter indicator on screen constantly and by one touch, you have access to a graphic compass. You always have access to the graphic compass page while navigating with one touch.
I am very satisfied with the ZUMO 550 and would recommend it. One thing I would have liked is the option of getting AM-FM radio instead of XM. I have cable TV, but I still have a problem with paying for radio.
I love gadgets, and I don't consider myself a "techy", but I rate the ZUMO 550 with a "10".
You won't be disappointed with this GPS July 2, 2008
Everything I have been looking for in a GPS for all of my vehicles is included in the Zumo550. I can easily switch it between the motorcycle and my truck with zero effort. The MP3 player is a lifesaver on long trips. I just insert an 8GB SD card and let the music play. All of the controls are easily seen and the buttons can be pushed with gloves on.
The only thing I would change is the low fuel gauge. Instead of a pop-up window reminder of low fuel, it would be nice to have the voice prompt you and start showing the nearest gas stations. Picky, I know, but it woudl be a great feature. Other than my wishes, the unit is nearly perfect.
