- ZUMO 550 Excellent Product - Great sale experience
The ZUMO 550 is a excellent product. It preform as advertised. The accessories that are included do the job for mounting and wiring on a motorcycle and in a vehicle.
The delivery was timely. A very good experience all around.

- Great GPS for Motorcycling
I bought this zumo 550 to replace the Garmin Quest 2 on my bike. It takes a bit of work to understand HOW to work it because Garmin's e-manual fails to include some of the simplest info. There are, however, great online sources of info and forums for the zumo as well. Once I got the hang of it, the zumo works great.

It mounts easily and wires into the motorcycle's inside-the-fairing harness easily and then plugs into the aux audio input on the Harley's sound system so that the zumo's voice directions can be heard over the bike noise. It also plays mp3 files which allowed me to skip the purchase of a new .mp3 player that I had been planning on buying as well.

It is somewhat time-consuming to locate and play a certain song when the SD card holds 500 songs but if I was concerned I'd use a few smaller cards instead of the 2GB card I use.

The built-in maps are adequate and Garmin is sending me a new map since I bought this as the new maps were coming out.

Once you have it figured out it is pretty easy to navigate around with this zumo. Included is also a new MapSource for hooking it up to my PC but it works just fine with the MapSource which has been in place for my Quest 2.

So far - trouble-free. Works well on the bike and a car mount is also included AND it works on batteries and is small enough for many pockets so you can take it anywhere, anytime.

From the amount of questions I see on the help forums it is evident that Garmin could do better with its instruction manuals but I think the preliminary confusion and questions are worth the result.

- Simply the best choice in market...
From my experience there is no gps made for a motorcycle like the ZUMO 550...

To get its max out, you should also purchase (if you do not have it) a good set of bluetooth intercoms, my suggestion, go for the CARDO (Scala Driver Team Set).

Buy it, you will not regret!

JUST, DO NOT BUY IT FROM COMPUTER BRAIN, the first time I purchased it, I had to call and write COMPUTER BRAIN a lot of times and the only thing they said was it was on back-order.

After about 1 and 1/2 month they fanilly cancelled my order without any explanation...

- Very happy with Zumo 550
Having now used the ZUMO on my BMW R1200RT for the past month, I can say that this was money well spent. The display, depending on where the unit's mounted, can sometimes be hard to see in the sun, but that's to be expected. I ended up mounting the unit between the handlebars (BMW mount), but a higher location (like on a dash or shelf) using the RAM mount or similar would solve the glare issue.
The display is large enough and it's easy to switch between screens to access different functions. I do wish that I could keep the unit from reverting back to a "zoomed-out" view of the map after making a turn, but again, a small point.
The unit is truly "glove friendly" and I like how the keyboard automatically reconfigures when using the bike mount or the car mount. It's like all Garmin units when it comes to typing in points of interest (somewhat tedious, but simple) and the accuracy is better than on my old GPS V and Nuvi.
I bit the bullet and also bought the GXM30 antenna, as I use the ZUMO to listen to XM radio and it works very well for this with no additional grounding needed. The music feature is, again, very easy to use and I don't mind switching screens to go from navigating to music as it only requires pressing one button a few times.
The unit has been exposed to a few rainstorms without a problem and the design of the mount lets me take it off the bike when going to get something to eat, etc. The rubber caps on the mount also ensure that the connections stay protected when the ZUMO is removed (storms, dust, washing the bike, etc.).
Very pleased with the unit and would highly recommend.

- Best Motorcycle GPS Ever
Garmin Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator

This is my third GPS. I started with a Garmin GPS V, no color screen, very basic gps. I still use it when walking. Then I moved on to the 276C. Really works great, still use it in the car and on the boat. I decided on the Zumo 550 for the big, a Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. It is so easy to use, touch screen and all. Never have to take my gloves off when inputing information. The way you do that is also much improved.

I noticed this gps does a much better job of holding satellite reception than my 276c or any of my riding buddies gps units, not matter which one they use.

The ability to download POI's and easily setup rides is a Godsend. I can setup a weeks worth of rides in no time.

A few people complain about not being able to hear the audio when riding. As another reviewer noted, it really does not matter. With my true dual exhaust setup, you could not hear the audio on ANY gps when riding down the road. Who would want to?

I have found this unit to be reliable, easy to use, and well worth every penny I paid for it.
