Made for Two Wheels
The zumo is made for extreme durability; it's vibration-tested, waterproof, and built with fuel-resistant plastics to withstand the elements. It's also intuitive, with a glove-friendly touch screen with left-handed controls that make it easy to operate. There's a bright, sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display that makes it easy to view, as well as a unique motorcycle console for trip information, including a fuel gauge to warn you when its time to fill up. The display measures 3.5 inches diagonally and features 320 x 240 pixel resolution.
Measuring 4.8 x 3.9 x 1.6-inches (WxHxD) and weighing just 10.6 ounces, the zumo is small enough to carry with you while you're off the bike. The high-sensitivity GPS receiver is powered by the SiRF Star chipset, which offers extreme accuracy, even when you're riding under dense foliage or between tall buildings. The unit also features Garmin Lock -- an advanced anti-theft feature that disables the unit from performing any functions until you type in a specific four-digit PIN or take the unit to a predetermined location.
The zumo comes with a motorcycle mount with universal mounting hardware so you can mount it anywhere. An automobile mount is also included, and it features an integrated speaker. Garmin also provides custom caps, which are available in a variety of colors, so you can reflect your style.

In addition, zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras, and it also includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. Plus, the unit is fully compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide feature, a free utility that allows you to build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3 files. A rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery that offers up to three hours of use is integrated into the zumo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, the zumo even accepts electronic maps, making it the ultimate off-road navigator.

With the zumo's Bluetooth wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect the device to your Bluetooth-enabled headset/helmet and cell phone to make and receive hands-free calls. You can even make phone calls to POIs through the zumo's Bluetooth interface. In addition, The zumo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
Traffic, Weather, and Radio
With optional XM subscriptions and an XM antenna, you can check the weather, move ahead of traffic and listen to the radio when you travel with the zumo. As an alternative, the zumo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and the zumo recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.

Customer Reviews:
Outstanding product.......2008-01-02
Outstanding product. I had a Garmin Street Pilot c330, which did a fairly good job. But when I used it on my motorcycle, I had to cover it with a rainshield which made it hard to see and also hard to hear. After I saw several friends who had the Zumo on their bikes, I decided to get one. Although they all use helmet headsets to hear theirs, I seldom wear one when traveling. I put in a 4GB SD card, which holds about 87 albums, plugged it into the auxiliary jack on the front of my radio, and both the sound and music come through loud and clear.
The bluetooth is a big plus. I had already installed bluetooth car kits in my vehicles, which many folks said it was hard to understand me when I talked. With the bluetooth in the Zumo, it not only works on my bike, but also works extremely well in the car. I put over 20,000 miles a year on my UltraClassic, and this makes navigating through backroads and interstates alike simple.
I watched the price on Amazon, and finally bought it for $627.00 with no tax and free shipping. It comes packaged with everything you need for both car and motorcycle!
A Traveler's Road Lamp.......2007-12-31
My first purchased GPS unit for street use. I am totally satisfied with this unit, I used it on a 5K+ mile in 9 day road trip and all the benefits of a navigation system were there right with me on the bike. Road thru days of rain, heading east on the 10, LA, MS, AL, FL, GA, and then north on the 95 GA, SC and NC it was pouring in all thoses states their respective crossing and this never screwed with the unit. Real hard cross winds in OK, TX and NM didn't phase it and neither did temperatures as low as 30. I rode at high speeds with the unit and it did not interfere with handling or loosen the mount. '07 ZX-10. Functional mounting hardware comes with and if one ever takes a road trip in a four wheel vehicle with this unit the kit comes with a car powered mount with voice...very versatile and I am a happy camper.
Zummo 550.......2007-12-23
This really is da bomb for a motorcycle GPS. I have had 3 others and after much research went with the 550.
I would go 5 stars but like others may have mentioned.... the MP3 player cannot be used unless the unit is in either the car cradle or the motorcyle cradle with external power connected. The headphone jack is part of the cradle not the GPS body. What this means to me is... I can't just pop it off the bike and listen to music in my tent/hotel or around camp. It is not a dig deal since I have a mp3 on my cell phone but it would be a nice feature to have.
Best MC/car GPS available.......2007-12-23
This product is the best of it's kind and Garmin's support is even better. I've lived with this unit for a few weeks now, and I can say that it is everything they claim. Great GPS for both car and MC. Thanks Amazon for a good price too.
Zumo Motorcycle GPS.......2007-11-29
The Zumo works great on my motorcycle and my car. The user interface is the best and easiest I have seen. I sold my older Street pilot.
