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. lt'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 PlN 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.

Navigate the 0pen Road
The zumo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps and a hefty points of interest (P0ls) database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and the zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. ln addition, zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras, and it also includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming P0ls. 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 P0ls 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. ln addition, the zumo even accepts electronic maps, making it the ultimate off-road navigator.

Hands-Free Calls and Wireless Voice Prompts
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 P0ls through the zumo's Bluetooth interface. ln 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.

Route Planning, Sharing, and Entertainment
The zumo makes it easy to plan your next trip and share routes with your riding buddies. Plan trips on your computer before you start. Search for food and fuel stops and local attractions. Then, transfer your route to your zumo and go.

At the end of the day, share your favorite 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, and you can download routes to share with your riding buddies.

Buyer's feedback: - * Garmin Zumo 550 ...
Product is great and was delivered on time. All necessary parts were included for motorcycle and car use.

Buyer's feedback: - Really works like it says
I have a TomTom rider that I replaced with the Zumo 550, just like night and day. I can preplan routes, and create routes on the fly. I hard wired it into my Ultra Classic using a J&M harness, instead of Blueooth. Works great, a better lock would be great. The screen is brighter and easier to read. I would buy it again, and did. I gave one to my girlfriend.

Buyer's feedback: - * best product on market ...
First of all, don't buy elsewhere...promises of lower prices are simply NYC scam jobs...

The Zumo allows you to integrate navi, phone, and SDHC music with basically no effort...

The product is awesome in every way...waterproof for a motorcycle...

I coulpled this with a scala rider 2 and it works great...a bit hard to hear at highway speeds but no complaint...I'm very happy with the zumo...you will be too!

Advice: Get it hardwired to your bike...get Garmin 'bolt' so bracket cannot be taken (it's security for the bracket)

Buyer's feedback: - Zumo 550 - Great for Bikes and Cars
I purchased my second Zumo 550, after my original was stolen from a rental car. The unit performs exceptionally well, and is very easy to use and understand.
I use it on my BMW R1200GS and also in my car. The unit ships with all the stuff you need to mount it on the bike and in the car. There are maps available from Mad Maps which feature some nice motorcycle routes in a variety of different US states.
I am a Mac user as well, and the only complaint I have so far with Garmin is that they don't seem to offer as much support for mapping software on a Mac as they do on a PC. Other than that I really think the unit is great. I give the Zumo a 5-star rating!

Buyer's feedback: - * Zumo 550 is a Great GPS ...
Listening to all of the complaints about the Zumo can, at times, be quite comical. "It doesn't have bluetooth stereo at 500 watts of power over my cell phone," etc, etc. I bought the unit six months ago and mounted it on a Harley Ultra Classic and then promptly left on a 4,500 mile trip. I found the thing to be highly reliable and remarkable in the amount of data available for recall or review. Once you get used to using the search features, it's like having an electronic Yellow Pages at your disposal. The only thing it couldn't find was my wife when she got loose in Macy's. Only occasionally did the thing route me along a path that I wouldn't have chosen otherwise. But, I simply ignored it on those occasions and struck out on my own. There is a tendency to forget that I chose how the thing calculates a route; shortest travel distance or faster travel time. In that regard, the unit is rarely off track--it does what you ask it to do. Only once have I encountered a situation where it asked me to turn on a road that did not exist. I just ignored the direction and it recalculated, sending me on the correct path. It will not, however, play 45 RPM or LP records. Who cares if the speaker isn't loud enough, it can't be heard on a motorcycle anyway. Remember that this is a GPS unit designed to guide you from point A to point B, with a minimum of fuss and confusion. In that regard, the unit performs remarkably well and should provide years of dependable service. I've used the Zumo in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe with equal success and have experienced no difficulties at all. If your goal is to purchase a mapping system that will take you from point A to point B, you will be well pleased. If you want an entertainment center, then avoid the Zumo and go visit a Panasonic electronics dealer.
