Digital camera Review: Best MC/car GPS available
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is the best of it's kind and Garmin's support is even better. I've lived with this unit for a few weeks now, and I can say that it is everything they claim. Great GPS for both car and MC. Thanks Amazon for a good price too.Digital camera Review: Best Motorcycle GPS Ever

Garmin Zumo 550 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Motorcycle Navigator
This is my third GPS. I started with a Garmin GPS V, no color screen, very basic gps. I still use it when walking. Then I moved on to the 276C. Really works great, still use it in the car and on the boat. I decided on the Zumo 550 for the big, a Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. It is so easy to use, touch screen and all. Never have to take my gloves off when inputing information. The way you do that is also much improved.
I noticed this gps does a much better job of holding satellite reception than my 276c or any of my riding buddies gps units, not matter which one they use.
The ability to download POI's and easily setup rides is a Godsend. I can setup a weeks worth of rides in no time.
A few people complain about not being able to hear the audio when riding. As another reviewer noted, it really does not matter. With my true dual exhaust setup, you could not hear the audio on ANY gps when riding down the road. Who would want to?
I have found this unit to be reliable, easy to use, and well worth every penny I paid for it.
Digital camera Review: Better after the updates
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit was sent as a replacement for a stolen 2730 with GXM30 ant. At first I missed the 2730 but after using the Zumo for a month now, cant say I miss the 2730 at all. The ability to move the unit between car and bike is a huge plus, or the ability to use the unit with its internal battery is a huge plus. Jump into a friends car and just sit it in a console, it picks up the gps signal just fine. It even works in every room of my house unlike the older garmin units that required a clear view of the sky. The GXM30 ant is the only gripe, it plugs into the cradle and can be somewhat of a hassle to switch back and forth between vehicles.
While other GPS units might work better in different applications, the ZUMO hits the spot for dual use in a cage and on a bike. Plus the form factor allows one to put it in a jacket or back pack for use any and everywhere.
Digital camera Review: Beyond Expectations!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit rocks. I have never been so ippressed with a product like this before. Garmin even has a free update to the latest maps for new purchasers. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a dockable unit for their motorcycle and car.Digital camera Review: Broke down in 3 weeks
Summary: 2 Stars
Product just quit working 3 weeks after I got it. Sent it back to manufacturer (Garmin) who said they would have it fixed on a priority and over-nighted back to me. That was almost two weeks ago and have not gotten it back yet. Still waiting.
