Great GPS. If only it worked!
"I really looked forward to using this product. Garmin products have always been top of the line. As advertised, it was everything I was looking for for a 1 month on the road trip from Key West, FL, to the Arctic Circle in Alaska. Received the GPS with much anticipation. It wouldn't turn on.

"I have both the Zumo 550 and TomTom Rider 2. Both are excellent motorcycle GPS units. The Zumo is a bit of a Cadillac, having a brighter display, bigger touch screen buttons for a gloved hand, and stereo audio mp3 playback (XM radio ability at extra cost). There is no provided Helmet headset with …" Read Full Review »
