Open to on the bike to on the road in no time. Easy to use. Some people say GPS minimizes the adventure spirit of motorcycling. feature rich out of the box. Ready for mounting. I disagree completely. This device allows you to wander and find your way back very easily.Buy it
This is a great product. We would like to find a head set that works well with the motorcycle. It works great, is easy to use. There was some difficulty in downloading the maps but part of that is our internet connections. We are not in a helmet law state and often do not use the helmet so would like something that would work with or without a helmet. any ideas.
Easy to use, even with thick winter motorcycle gloves. Not a distraction, especially if mounted on left side of handlebars. Only problem is I can't crank up the volume loud enough to hear when I'm doing over 45-60 MPH.
A great GPS. It would be much more convenient to look up something while you are on the road. We needed one that we could use on the bike and in the car. The only complaint is that the user manual is on a disk, not paper. Now we have to remember what feature we couldn't figure out; then when we get home put the disk in the computer to find it. Very inconvenient.
Having been a long time user of Garmin's 2610, I was leery of another offering from Garmin, mainly because of the shortcomings with the software. I note that other map providers, such as Google Maps, don't have this problem. I could find no user guide to Mapsource.
The Zumo has cured the many problems inherent in the older models. Unfortunately the current Mapsource maps are not any easier to use in planning a ride on the PC than the prior offerings.Many of the back roads I use are not visible on Mapsource until the scale is down to.3 of a mile. Not to worry.
Fortunately I already knew how to map a route on the PC. Also it is so much easier to use while on the motorcycle, even while wearing gloves.Even though the CD is rudimentary, and there is no paper manual, the software is intuitive and easy to use. The only problem I could see is if a new purchaser is unfamiliar with use of the Mapsource product to plan a route on the PC and download to the GPS, which is the way I plan all group rides that I lead.
Then it is a slow process to map the route the entire trip. Maybe Garmin will eventually solve this shortcoming, and I will have no complaints about the product.All things considered, I give the Zumo high marks, and am glad I made the jump from the 2610.
