Customer Review: Zumo 550 Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Zumo works great, however, the item was incorrectly packaged. They had two car mounts, instead of 1 car mount and 1 motorcycle mount.
The people at Zumo were extremely NOT helpful. Their customer service is terrible. They would not replace the mount, without going through a dog and pony show that was ridicules.
I needed the motorcycle mount for a weekend trip, and they said it would take weeks to get a replacement to me, if they could at all. I have never experienced such poor customer service. Was quicker just to buy a new mount.
This was no fault of Amazon, as they do not do the packaging. Amazon is great, and will shop with them again. I doubt I buy any more Garmin products though - as they will not offer the basic support thats required from a company of this caliber.
Customer Review: Zumo 550 a good buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I reviewed the various Garmin Zumo GPS systems available. I wanted waterproof and durable. The Zumo 550 is hunky, seems durable and is relatively easy to use. This is my first GPS and I had very little previous experience. I find it fairly easy to use. I paired it with my phone and head set on a recent trip and I received and made phone calls. I located my hotels and places to eat. I am happy with it. It came with mounting hardware for both my bike and my truck. The bike installation was relatively easy if you are skilled at working on your bike. It does not have a speaker so you need a headset on the bike but the speaker is built into the auto mount. I believe it to be a good buy. I am looking forward to programming my next route ahead of time. I will have to work on that.Customer Review: Garmin ZUMO 550

What can I say that hasn't already been said?? This unit is zoot, a perfect 10. If you get lost easy, (like me), this is the answer to your prayers. Not only does it tell you where you are, it will tell you where to go, something I usually depend on my wife to do. Seriously, low on gas, this Bad Boy tells you the closest petrol station, hungry? Again it list the ethnic types, (Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, etc.) fast food joints, steak houses,etc., and it tells you not only how far away, but how to get there. Like I said-ZOOT! There are so many features, it will keep you entertained for weeks. All that and yet at the same time the basic features are simple for even a HS dropout like me to use. If you want nothing but the best then look no farther, you have arrived.Customer Review: New gps user learns on the zumo
Summary: 5 Stars
The zumo is awesome. I knew I would like having gps with me while I ride, but I never knew how much it would change the way I ride. I use it to find small twisty back roads, make a route on the fly, and spend more time on my idea of nice roads than ever in the past.
The controls are easy to use and intuitive. I have only had to look a couple of processes up in the owner's manual.
The mounting systems are spectacular. It is so nice to be able to swap the unit between my car and bike effortlessly.
I purchased a 1G card to put music on while I ride. It works very well when it pauses the music to give verbal directions.
Compared to the prices of other systems, if you ride a bike, this is the best.
Customer Review: Agreat motorcycle GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second motorcycle GPS and it definitely comes much closer to perfect than my previous one. I bought this model for Bluetooth and I have to say that function works perfectly. Combined with the interphone motorcycle headset it is the perfect combination. Listen to music, GPS instructions and even phone calls while you ride. Your phone book loads into it and you can add a SD card for music. As a GPS it functions well allowing you to create routes which are really nice for motorcycles. As advertised, it works with a glove on which is very handy. The only negative is once on a route, if you go off, you cannot tell it which via point to go to next, it guesses, and sometimes it guesses wrong. Other than that, I highly recommend it.
