Garmin Zumo GPS thread.

I figured I would start a Zumo thread for all those looking for Garmin Zumo info. Feel free to post anything Zumo related. 450, 550, 660 etc. There's a bunch of stuff on the forum already but it's all over the place. Please no "Zumo's are a waste of money talk here".

INSTALL

It took a bit to wire it through the bike properly. I followed the main bundle on the right down and under the back part of the tank, across the bike and straight to the battery. I may wire it to an ignition on only source later but right now I want it always on.

 

Nice I like it.................... Thanks a lot Jason now I have to have one. Does anyone need a kidney

 

I'm so jealous..very cool unit

 

Added some install pics above.

Sorry Scuba... :wink:

 

How's the bluetooth audio for music? I've got a 550, and i must say, I was VERY disappointed with the extremely poor sound quality. I'm running my i-phone for audio thru a bluetooth headset...unfortunately.

 

Still shopping for a BT headset, will know soon enough. All reports though say there are no problems. The 660 is AD2P, stereo bluetooth.

$699 CDN, not cheap but had to have it.

 

Damn, I purchased the 550 last year...........!! Now I have to buy a 660 next year after seeing this! Oh well, should go well with a new VFR 1200..............

 

Very nice JS!! does that mean my poor mans garmin 60cx is not needed on the next big rd trip?
I guess your leading from now on.

 

I had a feeling you were gonna say that chomp... at least you know how to use yours though. I just got it for the looks :wink:

 

I'm still learning. most of the time i have no idea what the hell im doing.getting much better at planning routs with map source though. Im sure zumo is much more user friendly. have you tried it locally yet? mine does not recognize new golden ears bridge using 2010 map source

 

Mine doesn't show it either but there's a map update waiting that I haven't downloaded yet. I think the most current map is 2010.20, is that what your using? 2010.10 is what's installed on mine. I have till the end of Dec to update so I'm waiting till then so I get the most current. Garmin only gives out one update with a purchase so I'd like to make it count.

 

Damn you, damn you to absolute hell and back again!!! I have to save up and buy one of those now... Damn you again I say!!!

 

Sorry win, just blame it all on me :biggrin:

 

That's the Honda rebranded model I see.

I have the generic one with side mount. I'll have to look into the centre mount as it hits my tank bag with full left steering.

 

600 Ehh ? got me a little jealous although love my 550 long time, even the included PC mapping tool is easy once you get used to it.

 

This is the standard one as well, I just setup the splash screen as my own. You can too with any picture that's on your Zumo.

 

This is what you need. P/N - RAM-B-231 or RAM-B-231U (unpackaged). It's only about 10 bucks and fits at the tank perfectly without the u-bolt. You'll need a couple longer bolts as well but they're easy to find as well.
