| Description |
Customize your ride with the Garmin Zumo 550. Born to run, built to last, this rugged GPS navigator is always ready to ride. Designed by bikers, Garmin Zumo'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.
Operate Easily on Two Wheels
Durable and intuitive, the Garmin Zumo 550 is built specifically for motorcycles:
- Glove-friendly touch screen with left-handed controls makes it easy to operate
- High bright sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display makes it easy to view your screen
- Motorcycle console for trip information, including fuel gauge to warn you when its time to fill up
- Motorcycle mount with universal mounting hardware so you can mount it anywhere
- Included motorcycle mount and automotive mount (with integrated speaker) for riding or driving
- Custom caps, available in a variety of colors, to reflect your style
- Vibration-tested, waterproof and built with fuel-resistant plastics to withstand the elements
Navigate the Open Road
The Garmin Zumo 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 Zumo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names. In addition, the Garmin Zumo 550 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 the Garmin Zumo 550 for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, the Garmin Zumo 550 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 the Garmin Zumo 550. As an alternative, the Garmin Zumo 550 can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and the Garmin Zumo 550 recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.
Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts
With the Garmin Zumo 550's Bluetooth wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect the Garmin Zumo 550 to your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone and headset/helmet to make and receive hands-free calls. You can even make phone calls to POIs through the Garmin Zumo 550's Bluetooth interface. In addition, the Garmin Zumo 550 transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
Plan Your Adventures and Share Your Rides
The Garmin Zumo 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 your Garmin Zumo 550 and go.
At the end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with other Garmin Zumo 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.

Having been a Garmin user for years, I expected only the best results with the ZUMO 550.
A software glitch prevented the downloading of routes and waypoints to the unit from the PC. Eventually I was able to talk to a tech at Garmin and after downloading the latest version 6.11.6 of Mapsource, the problem was corrected. As it now functions as advertised, I am very pleased with the diversity of the unit.
I feel that the POI's that are installed by Mapsource are about 2 years out of date based on it's inability to find large box store developments, interchanges and subdivisions that have been in existence for over the past 2 years. Garmin explained that Mapsource updates their data from input from all sources about every 12-18 months. So don't expect that it will find your latest Wal-Mart or even the US Post Office, as was my case.
However, the concept is excellent. The mounting on the clutch cluster was slick and easily read and menu selection is easy and accurate with gloves on as advertised. The wiring harness length is generous. The screen does wash out a bit in direct sunlight, but as the mounting device is easily accessed, the angle of the screen can sometimes be tilted away from the glare. eg. afternoon sun on an easterly trip.
The PDF file Mapsource manual on CD isn't as specific as a technical operating manual could be as there is no mention of downloading routes and waypoints, only maps. The ZUMO 550 comes with the maps installed, so the procedure for highlighting maps with routes and waypoints on them for downloading, is flawed. Do not highlight the maps on your route, but have your route saved and open on your PC with the taskbar tab on "routes" and then download. I would have liked to see Garmin provided a compact desk stand for the ZUMO 550 to facilitate off mount tasks while either the AC power or the USB data transfer cables are inserted to the unit... All in All, a great unit and with 20K miles planned on the Harley for the summer, I'll be using it to it's maximum potential. I miss the crumb trails as well as the ability to "mark" with a touch of a button that I am accustomed to with other units. The truck mount works just fine and I am pleased that the external antenna that I have in place plugs in to this unit with the standard adapter used for other units.
I don't have sound wired, however, the graphics and text prompts are timely and legible. The fuel gauge is slick and the maximum speed function could be incriminating under some circumstances, so don't forget to reset at the end of the day.
I would say, an excellent product that addresses the motorcyclist's requirements... pricey though.

DISAPPOINTED. ZUMO 550 FOR POSERS
Garmin's "biker advisors" failed Garmin miserably. MP3, Satellite Radio, photo features??? What the heck is that all about? I've used the Quest for several years and only considered another unit because I thought a larger screen would be useful when my faithful old Quest began losing satellite coverage for no reason. I thought staying with the Garmin family, as I have since the old GPS 3-Plus, I'd be getting similar GPS logic -- WRONG!! The Quest features much more closely met the needs of real bikers. Why would Garmin include the capability to add photos???!! to the GPS and not have the ability to see "distance to destination"? As Road Captain, I've led countless rides for our HOG chapter. I have yet to have anyone ask, "How many more miles to the next turn?" The question is always (appropriately so), "How many miles to the destination?". The map is difficult to maneuver with its touch screen compared to the Quest's infinately more useful and practical scrolling feature. The 550 has a satellite radio feature (why???) but doesn't give altitude - which besides being interesting to the rider, can actually be helpful to those riding normally aspirated fuel systems. As far as operating the unit even with gloves on, the 550's touch screen is far less "glove friendly" than the older "button technology" of the Quest.
I'll be returning the Zumo 550 and wait until Garmin gets some genuine bikers for advisors. Hopefully they'll bring the Quest back with a larger screen.
