Customize your ride with zûmo™ 550 — the rugged motorcycle navigator that's born to ride. Designed by bikers, zûmo’s motorcycle-friendly features make it easy to operate while in the saddle. From back roads to rallies, its preloaded maps and high-end navigation features give you the freedom to go where you want.

Navigate the Open Road

zûmo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs) database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and zûmo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. In addition, zûmo 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 zûmo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, zûmo even accepts electronic maps — making it the ultimate off-road navigator.

Add Optional Traffic, Weather, and Radio

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 zûmo. As an alternative, zûmo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and zûmo recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.

Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts

With zûmo’s Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect zûmo 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 zûmo’s Bluetooth interface. In addition, zûmo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.

Plan Your Adventures and Share Your Rides

zûmo 550 makes it easy to plan your next trip and share routes with your riding buddies. Plan trips on your computer before you start. Search for food and fuel stops and local attractions. Then, transfer your route to zûmo and go.

At the end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with other zûmo riders, and review your travels in Google™ Earth. SD card expansion makes it easy for storage and route sharing. Download routes to share with your riding buddies — even load mp3 files to your unit to enjoy tunes on the road. In addition, JPEG Picture Viewer lets you share photos of your adventures with friends and family.
