Garmin Zumo 550 Review
May 27, 2009 by admin
The Garmin Zumo 550 is a portable GPS navigator that was made especially for the motorcylist. With left-handed buttons and a glove-friendly touch screen, the Zumo 550 could not be any more biker friendly.
The Garmin Zumo 550 is vibration resistant, waterproof and is built with fuel resistant plastics to easily handle all that comes its way. You can mount it where you please and it comes to you pre-loaded with detailed street information-simply switch it on and it's ready to guide you along on your cross country adventures.
You can enjoy your favorite music as you ride with the Zumo 550's on board MP3 player, or add an XM radio to get the weather and traffic conditions with the optional XM antenna.
Talk about convenience. You can connect the Zumo to your Bluetooth enabled helmet, headset or cell phone to make hands-free calls and this unit will even transmit your voice prompts straight to your headset so you can listen to the directions wirelessly. The Garmin Zumo 550 has an on board fuel gauge that warns you when it's time to stop for fuel.
Use your PC to plan your trip by searching for restaurants and gas stations and the best local attractions. Then you simply transfer that information to the Zumo and you're off! When the day is over, you can share your favorite places and routes with other Zumo owners and look over your travels in Google Earth. Just snap the Zumo off your bike with the auto mount and store it in your car.
