Garmin Zumo 550/500 Motorcycle GPS Sat Nav
The ZŨMO series motorcycle navigators are available in different versions and price ranges. The basic operation are the same but differences can be found in the extra features and functions such as bluetooth or MP3 and the supplied accessories.
A full list of features, “what’s in the box” and functions can be found on: Version comparisons on www.Garmin.com
Note that ‘branded’ Zumo versions, currently available from BMW, Honda, Suzuki and Harley-Davidson/Buell have their own different feature sets and do differ from standard Garmin units. These units may look very similar to existing Garmin Zũmo’s but they do have different functions or specifications to non-branded Garmin Zũmo’s. For example BMW and Honda Zũmo’s are not compatible with the normal Garmin Firmware! However, the Harley-Davidson/Buell branded model is compatible with the standard firmware. [more info]
