Digital camera reviews of GARMIN Zumo 450 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Digital camera Review: Garmin Zumo 450
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used this unit on several trips and have worked with other GPS units. It seems to do a good job.
I'll add to the review after I mount it to the motorcycle.
Still learning but find it works well.
Bought the auto mount and power cable for it. The cable doesn't work without the auto mount. It doesn't connect to the Zumo.
Digital camera Review: Garmin Zumo 450 - shipped not as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
Caution..., Product price is good and advertised as new, but I received a previously used Zumo missing a part. When I contacted Customer Service however, they were very cooperative and immediately shipped what appears to be a new, not previously used Zumo. Very suprised with Amazon. Thought it would be better experience as this was my first order with them. Bottomline: I should not have had to go through that hassle.Digital camera Review: Garmin Zumo 450 Motorcycle GPS

I replaced my Garmin 2610 with this newer GPS. What an improvement. Great map view and lots of motorcycle touring specific information. Glad I upgraded. Highly recommend to any biker, especially touring scooters.Digital camera Review: Garmin Zumo 450 Portable GP Motorcycle Navigator

This is an amazing piece of equipment and we are very pleased with it. We have found however that it is somewhat out of date. Several places in our area have not been in the location stated for 5 years or more so that needs to be updated. Also, there have been a couple of routes that we are actually familiar with that the directions given were really the long way around. I would like to confirm though that we have complete confidence the Zumo will get us where we want to go even if it is the long way sometimes. We would also like to see more attachments readily available ie: earphones or speaker attachments. We had to do some searching for those is local stores.Digital camera Review: Good Basic Motorcycle GPS
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used my Zumo 450 in both the USA and Europe. It is easy to program and the database is fairly good in both locations. The unit is also rugged and waterproof and the mounting hardware is very solid.
The negatives are the feature-set is limited compared to the less expensive car GPS units. The battery life is not very good - a couple of hours at best on my motorcycle trip in Europe. I have also had one instance of the unit just locking up which is almost impossible to recover from with removing the battery - a major pain in the butt.
Would I but it again - yes - if the price was right versus other waterproof offerings.
