Garmin Zumo 660 Review
May 27, 2009 by admin
Designed by bikers for bikers, the Garmin Zumo 660 portable GPS system has everything you will need to enhance your next road trip, and a whole lot more! This motorcycle navigator was built to guide you along on all of your two wheeled adventures, whether you’re a city rider or enjoy taking those long trips across the country.
The Garmin Zumo 660 features a big and bright 4.3 inch touchscreen display that is glove-friendly that makes entering info just as easy as shifting gears. The screen can be read in bright sunlight and on the darkest night. The rugged waterproof case resists UV rays and fuel sprays-the Zumo 600 can take what the weather dishes out.
Just remove the Zumo 660 from the box and it is ready to go! It comes preloaded with City Navigator NT street maps, millions of places of interest that include restaurants, gas stations, motels, ATMs and much more. The 660 gives you detailed 3D building views and lane assistance and it comes standard with a digital fuel gauge so you will know the number of miles you have remaining before it’s time to fuel up.
For staying in touch as you ride, the Garmin Zumo 660 allows you to safely talk on your phone without taking off your helmet or gloves. Just connect the 660 to your Bluetooth enabled headset or helmet, then pair with your cell phone to make and take calls on the road. You can also call points of interest (POI) through Zumo 660’s interface. The Zumo 660 transmits your voice prompts directly to your headset for stress-free navigation.
For those long trips, the Zumo 600 has a built-in MP3 player and Bluetooth A2Dp technology so you can listen to your favorite tunes. There is a headphone jack on the motorcycle mount so you can connect to your headset and microphone. It also has a picture viewer built in so you can take your family along with you on the road and it even supports audiobooks to break up the miles when taking those long trips.
The Garmin Zumo 660 has powerful trip planning tools so you can create your own favorite routes on your home computer and then transfer that info to the Zumo 660. The microSD card expansion capability allow you to share your routes and gives you more storage space.
On those rainy days when you are forced to take the car, the Zumo 660 becomes an in-car navigator, as it also comes with a vehicle mount, so you get two full featured navigators in one unit with the Garmin Zumo 660.
