There are also four buttons on the left side that are used for volume control, scrolling between menus, zooming in and out, and more.
On the bottom of the unit there's an SD expansion slot unfortunately, you have to purchase an SD card separately whereas TomTom included one with the Rider , a mini USB port, and a pin mount connector. The compartment lid flips up easily with no hassle. Finally, on the back of the unit, there is the battery compartment and an MCX connector for an optional antenna under the rubber weather cap. Features The features are endless on the Garmin Zumo Operation is even simpler than with the TomTom Rider, but as always, we recommend that you really familiarize yourself with the Zumo and its features before hitting the road.
From the main menu, you are presented with two large and clearly marked options to begin navigation--Where to? Tapping any one of these icons takes you to a bunch of submenus for that function. For example, if you touch the phone icon, another menu comes up that includes phone numbers for points of interest POI , call history, and phone book.
Navigation features are on par with the latest portable navigation systems. The Garmin Zumo gives you turn-by-turn text- and voice-guided directions, plus it has text-to-speech functionality, so the system will actually speak street names. Other navigation features include automatic route recalculation, detours, and a healthy POI database.
You can also get real-time traffic updates from Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network or XM NavTraffic service, but you will have to purchase a compatible traffic receiver and subscription plan. There are almost 6 million POIs preinstalled on the unit. POI-loving riders can also install software from the additional CD that gives you access to download lots of extra ones.
I haven't tried this feature yet because I use a Mac, but it gives you the ability to upload POIs and routes or download those created by others, then sync this info between your PC and your Zumo. Check out this blog on POI- and route-sharing riders with compatible navigation devices.
With the software installed, you can also get alerts when you are in a certain distance of a point or, if you're speeding, distance to school zones and so on. Check out this this cool blog on POI and route sharing riders with compatible navigation devices. You can view maps in 2D or 3D mode with day or night colors. The colors automatically switch to the night setting at sundown.
The map screen is very simple and displays your speed, estimated arrival time, and the distance to your next turn. On the top of the screen, the next turn and the street name is displayed, and there are also plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out of the map.
If you touch the speed tab, a slick, trip information screen comes up displaying your direction, speed, max speed, and a fuel gauge. The last feature will only show when the unit is connected to the motorcycle mount, however. You can also view POIs near your current location, but this is one area where the icons were too small to easily tap with big gloves.
Obviously it's pretty dangerous when you are actually riding and trying to do this so I don't recommend it. With the integrated Bluetooth, you can use the Zumo as a hands-free speaker system for phone calls, and it's also one of my favorite features. Once your phone is connected, your phone book is synched to the Zumo.
If you have a lot of numbers in your phone book, it may take a while to scroll through all the contacts, but you can choose to spell the first or last name, and within a few letters it brings up your matching contacts, which is a great feature.
I had no problem scrolling through the phone options safely while driving. Once on a call, there is a phone icon that pops up on the map menu; touch it, and a menu pops up with a huge End Call icon.
There is also an Options tab that brings up the touch screen where you can transfer audio back to the phone or mute the microphone.
Finally, the Zumo has a built-in MP3 player. You can load a bunch of songs onto an SD card and listen tunes for hours via a Bluetooth headset connected to your helmet.
The experience was actually better on the Zumo than on the Rider because it never dropped the Bluetooth connection. This happened a few times on the Rider, and even though it wasn't a big deal to reconnect, it was kind of a pain.
You can also connect a pair of external speakers and amplifier to the handlebar mount since the unit is equipped with a 3. From a cold start, the unit took about 10 to 20 seconds to lock onto a satellite, depending if I was downtown surrounded by lots of buildings or in a more open area. Subsequent starts were quicker. The Zumo accurately pinpointed my location, but the screen is a little choppier than the TomTom Rider's continuous and smooth motion.
I didn't really mind this though, because it didn't look like the screen was shaking. It just wasn't as smooth as the Rider. As the Rider did, the Zumo gave some pretty insane directions to destinations on a number of occasions, some of the POIs were outdated, and it had some wrong names for side streets and alleys.
But, at least by hitting the Detour icon, it recalculated more reasonable directions. It also depended on what setting fastest time, shortest distance, or off-road I chose. Adventure Rider. Midnightventure , Nov 25, I know this has been discussed before and the is probably getting old enough there aren't very many using it but here is how I finally got mine done. I updated the map when I first got it but it was such an ordeal I put it off until I couldn't remember exactly how I did it. I wrote it up this time and thought I would share just in case somebody else gets in the same predicament.
To load recent maps which are larger than the internal memory you need to use an SD card. The Zumo will not recognize more than 4gb of the card but bigger cards will work. Do a search for Garmin Mapinstall. It will tell you that it is going to take several hours and even though I have a very fast computer it did.
