zumo 550 - Don't hesitate, Navigate!
Zumo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator Australia® street maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs) database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and
zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. In addition,
zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras and includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. It is also compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide™ — 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 (three hour typical use) is integrated into
zumo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition,
zumo even accepts electronic maps - making it the ultimate off-road navigator. Destinations can be set using geographic (or even grid) coordinates, and you can set an off-road mode for "as the crow flies" navigation.
Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts! With
zumo's Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect
zumo 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 zumo's Bluetooth interface. In addition, zumo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
