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. It'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 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 PIN 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. Garmin also provides custom caps, which are available in a variety of colors, so you can reflect your style.

In addition, zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras, and it also includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. 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. In addition, the zumo even accepts electronic maps, making it the ultimate off-road navigator.

2 out of 5 stars less than good   January 6, 2009
How could you sell a GPS WITHOUT Bluetooth?

I thought it would function as well if not better than my car's GPS and this one cost 3 times more.

I will have to hard wire it to a headset and not be able to use my phone while riding.



4 out of 5 stars Its a good product, but I didn't get JUST want I wanted.   December 19, 2008
This is a pretty good device all around. Its durable, easy to use for someone even in gloves, and it can be used in conjunction with Harley Davidson.com's ride planner to plan your route.

2 Problems I have with it:
1) Don't think it can be used as a GPS for both bike and car. It has a weird plug-in for the mount that gives it power (the only way to power the thing and use it at the same time is to power through the mount) and Garmin doesn't sell a car adapter with that end. Also, they don't sell anything that can mount it to the window of your car. It would be so easy for Garmin to make these things, but they obviously want you to own GPS's for as many things as they can get you to buy them for, regardless of the overwhelmingly high price.

2) If you want to be able to just hear it tell you where to go and not mess with putting in the wires to power it up, also out of luck! It requires power to use the audio functions. So you better resign yourself to getting this thing installed if you don't feel comfortable wiring your own bike.

Those two things get fixed, and I'd think it was PERFECT!

Great product for my motorcycle. Availability and delivery excellent. No follow-up by pushy salesperson to try and sell me accessories. Will buy from Amazon again.


5 out of 5 stars ZUMO 450 Review   November 23, 2008
  0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I waited a long time to buy a GPS for my Valkyrie Interstate. Lots of guys in my clubs had them but I wasn't putting together routes or anything but just riding in the group or tailgunning. Then a friend got one for his Interstate. When I asked him how he was going to hear it he said that it plugs right into the Auxillary port on the radio and you hear it thru your headset. So I searched for the best price and found it on Amazon.com. Takes a little know-how to install the wiring but not difficult with a basic understanding. Now I have a GREAT GPS and I can listen to all of my MP3 tunes thru the built in MP3 player in the ZUMO. Couldn't be happier. Ride leaders attach the route file to our forum notifications and I can download it to my 450 and know in advance where all of the turns are going to be. One of the best toys I have.
