An interesting concept that can use some improvement

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: I still recommend the 276c over this model for the knowledgeable motorcyclist. The 550 will be better when they resolve some of the flaws. Maybe the 450?
Review:
May 31, 2008

A note on the various versions of the Zumo series;

The Zumo 400 series is similar to the 500 with the exception of satellite music/traffic support, the supply of the car mount bracket and the exclusion of...

Outstanding GPS for a motorcyclist

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2007
Review: I recently purchased a zumo after seeing it at the Garmin Store in Chicago. It will replace my Garmin 2610 which replaced my Garmin V.

By far this is the best Garmin GPS unit I've owned. It has a large easy to read screen. It has all the...

A leap in function

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: The best GPS I ever had, don't be fooled into thinking it's just for motorcycles, or just for navigation.
Review: Introduction
My review of the Garmin Zumo 550 is from the standpoint of a longtime Garmin user. My first Garmin GPS receiver was a 45XL bought in 1996, and I also own a Garmin V and a Garmin Streetpilot i2.

I bought it to use it on my...

Good for motorcycles, not a good choice for cars.

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2008
Review: I have been using this unit for several months on my motorcycle.

This unit is great for a motorcycle if you want MP3 player, XM Radio, and/or Bluetooth integration with your phone. It is water resistant, vibration/shock resistant, dust...

One satellite short of a full constellation.

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: Definitely a must have for motorcyclists needing a GPS.  You can't go wrong with the Garmin name brand; they stand by their products and the support is excellent.
Review: This ZUMO 550 is my second car GPS navigation system.  I briefly owned the 450, but then realized I'd spend more money buying the additional accessories (mounting brackets and cables) to bring it up to near 550 capability, so I sent it back for the...

Garmin Zumo 550

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this unit because of its great features, is easy to use, and expansion capabilities for XM, NEXRAD, and traffic data.
Review: I bought the 550 to replace my trusty Garmin GPS V that I've been using for about 3 years now. I bought the V so I wouldn't have to worry about getting lost on the motorcycle in the North Georgia mountains. Compared to the V, the 550 is nothing...

Good GPS with a few quirks....

Date of Review:  May 11, 2007
Review: I've owned a number of Garmin units in the past and still have and use a GPSV. The Zumo hits most of the targets and functions one could want in a land vehicle GPS but does have a quite few weak quirks.

The audio (spoken directions)...

Zumo 550 lacks basic functions

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: Provide altimeter, compass and heading indicator in route mode.
Review: I purchased a Zumo 550 to go along with the many motorcycles I own. I thought it would be a nice tool to help navigate on my trips. It is a GPS and should be able to provide basic navigational information, right. Wrong! While Garmin added a lot of...

Not too reliable.

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2009
Review: This is great only as an addition to directions you find from another source. Many times, I had used this, and hte idrections were confusing, as I didn't know whether to turn at the current stop or at hte next stop.
