Garmin 550 Zumo GPS | Garmin Zumo 550 Motorcycle GPS System

This Zumo 550 was a gift I purchased for my husband. He is thrilled with the Zumo. From the minute he turned the Zumo on, it has worked beautifully. This little gadget does so much....we're still amazed with the flexibility of this unit. It works great on his bike (Harley Ultra) and easily goes from bike to vehicle in only a few seconds. Haven't purchased the XM antenna yet, but have been very pleased with the Zumo 550.

I purchased the Garmin Zumo 550, along with the extra cradle and wiring harness since I have two Harleys. I combined them with the E-Caddy locking system on both bikes. On my Softail it was an easy installation and works very well, except of course you cannot hear the audio prompts on the bike, unless you install speakers.

On the Ultra I wired the sound through my radio speakers using a 3.5 mm cable and using the Aux port, that you can use with your MP3 player etc.
The prompts are loud and clear.

The 550 works very well. I alternate it between both bikes and my car. The suction mount for the car leaves a little to be desired, but the 550 has great features including the Bluetooth capability and also the screen slider to use with heavy gloves. So far so good, but it is the best system I have had in over 45 years of riding. I recommend it to anyone.

Great application for Ducati and Vespa Scooters, too! Very user friendly, also very portable, easily transferable between two-wheel vehicles and four-wheel vehicles. Can download updates for European excursions, too!
