zūmo
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 zūmo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice directions that
speak street names. In addition, zūmo 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 zūmo for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, zūmo 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 (in
select cities)* and listen to the radio when you travel with zūmo.
As an alternative, zūmo can receive optional TMC
traffic alerts (in select cities)** when used with a compatible
traffic receiver, and subscription. Simply press a button on the
screen, and zūmo
recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.
Make
Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts
With
zūmo's Bluetooth® wireless
technology, you can talk on the phone safely without
removing your gloves or helmet. Connect zūmo 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 zūmo's
Bluetooth interface. In addition, zūmo transmits navigation voice
prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
Plan
Your Adventures and Share Your Rides
zūmo 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 zūmo and go.
At the
end of the day, share your favorite places and rides with other
zūmo 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.
