Navigate the Open Road
zûmo 550 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City
Navigator® NT street maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs)
database, including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply
enter a destination, and zûmo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice
directions that speak street names. In addition, zûmo accepts
customized
points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras and
includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. It is also
compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide™ — a free utility that allows you to
build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3
files.
A rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery (three hour typical
use) is integrated into zûmo for trip planning or use on foot. In
addition, zûmo even accepts electronic maps — making it the ultimate
off-road navigator.
Add Optional Traffic, Weather, and Radio
With optional XM subscriptions
and an XM antenna, you can check the weather, move ahead of traffic and
listen to the radio when you travel with zûmo. As an alternative, zûmo
can receive optional TMC
traffic alerts (in select cities) when used with a compatible
traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and zûmo
recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.
Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts
With zûmo’s Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can talk on the phone
safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect zûmo to your
Bluetooth-enabled
headset/helmet and cell phone to make and receive hands-free calls. You
can even make phone calls to POIs through zûmo’s Bluetooth interface. In
addition, zûmo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you
can listen wirelessly.
Plan Your Adventures and Share Your Rides
zûmo 550 makes it easy to plan your next trip and share routes with
your riding buddies. Plan trips on your computer before you start.
Search for food and fuel stops and local attractions. Then, transfer
your route to zûmo and go.
At the end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with
other zûmo riders, and review your travels in Google™ Earth. SD card
expansion makes it easy for storage and route sharing. Download routes
to share with your riding buddies — even load mp3 files to your unit to
enjoy tunes on the road. In addition, JPEG Picture Viewer lets you share
photos of your adventures with friends and family.
