Garmin Zumo 550 video review

Oct 5, 2006 garmin, gps navigation, on bikes

The Zumo 550 is the first ?? from the ground up for motorcycles. The first you notice about the Zumo 550 is that its extremely rugged. Its build with ??? resistant plastics, its vibration tested, and its even waterproof. Once you get this thing on your bike you’ll notice that it has all the great garmin navigational features but it also has a motorcycle trip page on it that has a compass a speedometer and even a fuel gauge to figure when you’re running out of gas.

Some of the other motorcycle friendly features of the Zumo are buttons mounted on the left hand side of the screen so you don’t have to worry taking your hand off the throttle when you’re riding down the street. Also it’s got a big bright touch screen with big glove friendly buttons.

It’s got a standard audio jack on it to connect to your intercom system so you can hear voice prompts through your helmet and it’s also got a sweeet MP3 player.

We’re not saying anything bad about the Zumo 550 but keep in mind this so called review was made for a Garmin site and probably paid for by Garmin.
