Zumo™ 550
is the durable motorcycle navigator that's been promised
for a long while. Garmin
don't do anything by halves. The task - design and build
a cycle navigator that works, and works well. Time
and development later, this is IT. Designed by bikers,
zumo’s
motorcycle-friendly features make it easy to operate, even
while riding. From
back roads to rallies, its preloaded maps and high-end navigation
features give you the freedom to know where you are going,
and how long it's going to take.
zumo 550 is built
specifically for motorcycles, with these prominent features:
Glove-friendly touch screen with left-handed
controls.
High bright sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display makes
it easy to view.
Motorcycle console for trip information, including fuel gauge
to warn you when its time to fill up.
Motorcycle mount with universal mounting hardware (4 hole
AMPS) so you can mount it anywhere.
Included motorcycle mount and automotive mount (with integrated
speaker) for riding or driving.
Custom caps, available in a variety of colors, to reflect
your style
Vibration-tested, waterproof and built with fuel-resistant
plastics to withstand the elements.
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.

to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
