garmin road tech zumo

Aug 5, 2008 garmin, gps navigation, on bikes

This is a special garmin zumo customized for Harley Davidson. The preloaded map contains all the listings of Harley Davidson stores in the country and there’s also the new feature on harley-davidson.com where it allows all those ‘born to be wild’ types to plan their road trip in advances. You can also share your routes using the SD card slot.

Road Tech zūmo’s glove-friendly design with left-handed controls and oversized touchscreen buttons. The waterproof (IEC 529 IPX-7 standards) device comes ready to go right out of the box…

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 Road Tech zūmo in the U.S. As an alternative, zūmo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver.

Other must have feature for motorcyclists is the ability to hear directions and make phone calls with your helmet on. Thanks to the added bluetooth function you can make calls using Zumo’s interface and listen to turn-by-turn directions too.

We’re not sure how much the road tech zumo will cost but currently zumo 550 goes for $687 and zumo 450 for $530.
