PRODUCT DETAILS [Back to Top]
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, 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, zumo 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
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, zumo 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 zumo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, zumo 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 zumo. As an alternative, zumo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and zumo recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.

Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts
With zumo's Bluetooth wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect zumo 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 zumo's Bluetooth interface. In addition, zumo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.

Plan Your Adventures and Share Your Rides
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 zumo and go.

At the end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with other 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. In addition, JPEG Picture Viewer lets you share photos of your adventures with friends and family.

I received the Garmin 550 as a gift. I have been quite happy with it. I took it to Italy last month and would have been hopelessly lost on the small mountain backroads in Tuscany. Motorcycle functions work great. One problem I'm wondering if anyone else has with this unit. Every once in a while it will not turn on. After working just fine, it will be completely dead after the next time use. I found that if I removed the battery and reinstalled it, the unit would work fine for quite a while until it happened again. Same drill would get it going again. Yesterday in the car, hooked up to external power it went dead again. Tried the same remove the battery trick, but it didn't work this time. It would only flash up the first startup screen, then shutdown. I then hooked up the charger to it for several hours, then everything works. Any one else have a problem like this? I am going to get in touch with Garmin as I think the unit is faulty.

Got the Zumo 550 for xmas! It works great, better than my built in one on my VW. I am able to put it on my bikes small fairing,,just above the radio. They give u small disk that affixs on a flat surface. I also have it hooked thru my phone and a blutooth earpiece, the gps picks up all your phoneinfo,,like contacts and voice prompts.I was even easy to do this as I am not very techinical.. I also use this in my truck and it hooks ont the windshield easy.. all in all I love it so far,, I wont be hooking up the handlebar unit as I have room in the centre of my fairing with the cigarette lighter to power it!! 10/10...

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.

Had the same problem with mine. The problem is low battery. Make sure you have a good connection when using the DC car adapter. When I bought mine had the same problem but when the unit has a good charge everything works great.Check the power level when turned on Good luck.

I purchased the Zumo 550 after owning the TomTom Rider for two weeks and being disappointed by the problems I had. The Garmin unit is a far superior unit for North America, and the latest updates fixed most of the bugs I had found previously. I've logged 8000km so far on it with my bike and am very happy to report its a lifesaver at times when I'm visiting unfamiliar cities. Also saves paper in that I've eliminated paper maps :-)

Es el mejor GPS que he encontrado despues de haber investigado varios. Compre el ZUMO 550 en mayo de 2007 y es maravilloso. Lo utilize en un viaje que realize en mi motocicleta por todo el estado de California, donde planifique toda la ruta de antemano, le grabe musica MP3 y me funciono excelentemente. Recomiendo la compra del mismo. Es el mejor GPS para motoras en el mercado.

I had ordered this from another site (The Camera Professionals) for what I thought was a STEAL, turned out it was a scam. They told me I had to buy the maps for another $150, then buy the charger and a battery for even more. I called your number for a price match, and the guy who answered the phone was very knowledgeable and told me it comes with everything I need to get started- preloaded with the maps and includes the lighter adapter, power cable, and battery, etc. Turns out you guys are cheaper already by over $100 and everything is included! A big THANK YOU for saving me a lot of headache and a lot of money. A+

Out of the box. Push ON button. Done. Way too easy for a non-nerd type like me. So far it has lived up to the rumors. ha

I have had this unit on my Road King for over 10,000 miles without a glitch. It was easy to install, setup, and use. Been in the rain, sun, heat, and cold temps, never had a problem. Yes, it may be a little bit more than some of the other units out there, but worth every dime.

I use Zumo 550 on a 07 Goldwing. I mounted it on the left handlebar with the bracket that was included. I can easily switch it from the bike to my car. It is far superior to the Nav system on the Goldwing. I love the unit and have used it all over the US. You can't go wrong with this unit.
