i wouldnt want to keep lookin at the thing on the move as there lies danger! ones with bluetooth or a socket for ear phones and bracket for bike are gonna be more exspensive! have a look on tinternet
My Zumo has been brilliant from day one and has taken me all over Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, plus there and back in each case.
The only problem I've ever had with it was on the hottest day in Switzerland it was overheating and shutting down (I presume a self-preservation thing) and it was nearly 40 degrees!
Saying this I would hope they could withstand higher temperatures than this given that there are hotter and indeed, much hotter countries?
amazin how we drove all over Europe an down to India without one,and i would never have met a Swedish girlfriend with a twat nav cos i wouldnt have got lost an ended up in her village askin direction's [jus a thought!]
lol hypocrit TM!!!!!!
Zumo zumo zumo all the way. Designed for bikers, and by bikers by the looks of it. It's fantasic, and comes with all the car and motorbike mounts necessary.
Mine has taken me all over Europe and America with ease, never got me lost or had any problems - even in the most complicated areas.
I never had any problems with temperatures either (Geoff, you musn't be riding fast enough to get the air flowing past it)
ZUMO 550!!!
i agree twat nav's are useful but fer fk's sake where's yer sense of adventure jus get a map stop frettin and up an go! you got a tom tom one use that!
sorry, red stuff again! think mine will be usefull toward end of journey's when lookin for st addresses,[the main reason fer gettin one] as for gettin to Weymouth from Harrogate jus head into the settin sun thats romantic! [if we get any!]
Former sat nav sceptic and now a TomTom Rider owner, it rarely gets used for navigation but the nice little siren 300 yards before speed cameras is reassuring, I usually spot the camera before the warning but it only needs to spot a couple I don't to pay for itself.
The nearest petrol station function has been handy a couple of times as well.
For navigation I have found it useful for finding places in unfamiliar towns, in between towns I prefer to just head in the general direction and see where I end up.
