Garmin zumo 550
Customize your motorcycle ride with the rugged zumo 550. Designed by bikers for bikers, zumo's motorcycle-friendly features make it easy to operate while in the saddle. From back roads to rallies, its preloaded maps and high-end navigation features give you the freedom to go whereever you want, whenever you want. With a sleek design, lots of features, and a reliable performance, the zumo 550 is a top-notch navigation system for motorcyclists. Though car drivers can drfinitely use it either.
When you open the box you'll find the Zumo, a motorcycle mount, a car mount with an adhesive plastic disc for attaching to your dashboard, black plastic faceplates (if you don't like the gray ones), an AC charger, a motorcycle power cable that connects to the bike's battery, a car charger, tools needed to mount the Zumo to motorcycle handlebars, a tiny screwdriver for the "safety screw" on the unit, a USB cable to sync and download software and updates, a City Navigator DVD, a CD-ROM of the owners manual, a quick setup guide for mounting, and some stickers.
Zumo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps and a massive points of interest (POIs) database, including hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, ATMs and much, much more. Simply enter a destination, and zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names and places. In addition, zumo accepts custom points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs. It comes with a rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery a for trip planning or use on foot, and even accepts additional maps.
Zumo 550 has a silver shell with two removable caps on top and bottom of the unit that you can exchange for the unit with a plethora of designs including racing stripes and flames. The unit is compact, measuring 4.8 inches wide, 3.9 inches high, and 1.6 inches deep and weighing 10.6 ounces, a hair lighter than the Rider's 10.9 ounces. There are two choices for mounting the Garmin Zumo 550 to a motorcycle: a u-bolt mount or a clutch mount.
Although designed for motorcycles, it's just as good in the car (the unit includes the car mount as well). The Zumo's display is the same size as the Rider's screen. It's a 3.5-inch (diagonal) UV resistant touch screen with a 320x240 pixel resolution and a white backlight. One unique feature on the Zumo is the ability to choose the size of icons. Garmin provides you with two choices: standard and large. The standard size is still big enough for gloved fingers, but the large buttons are perfect.
Features:
For starters, the Zumo is powered by a 20-channel, SiRFstarlll high-sensitivity GPS receiver and all maps of North America are preloaded on the device. Operation is simple.
From the main menu, you are presented with two large and clearly marked options to begin navigation--Where to? and View map--as well as several items along the bottom of the screen, including a phone icon (if you are already paired to your Bluetooth phone), a musical note icon for the MP3 player, and a tool icon for the Settings menu.
There are almost 6 million POIs preinstalled on the unit and you can also install additional software.
You can view maps in 2D or 3D mode with day or night colors. The colors automatically switch to the night setting at sundown.The map screen is very simple and displays your speed, estimated arrival time, and the distance to your next turn. On the top of the screen, the next turn and the street name is displayed, and there are also plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out of the map.
The integrated Bluetooth enables to use the 550 as a hands-free speaker system for phone calls. Once your phone is connected, your phone book is synched to the Zumo. If you have a lot of numbers in your phone book, it may take a while to scroll through all the contacts, but you can choose to spell the first or last name, and within a few letters it brings up your matching contacts, which is a great feature.
Zumo 550 has a built-in MP3 player. You can load your favorite songs onto an SD card and listen to the tunes for hours via a Bluetooth headset connected to your helmet. You can also share your favourite places and rides with other zumo riders, and review your travels in Google Earth. SD card expansion makes it easy for storage and route sharing. Download routes to share with your riding buddies or load mp3 files to your unit to enjoy tunes on the road.
The Zumo 550 is a great experience, not only to find your way around but also as an entertainment tool. This is definitely a very good choice and a highly recommended GPS.
