Garmin Zumo 550 Motorcycle GPS

[Netnorske]

I am selling my Garmin Zumo 550 Motorcycle GPS. I am finally getting more and more used to the GPS on my new 2017 HD Ultra Limited that is built-in to the fairing, so in all likelyhood will never use this unit again. It is specifically designed and made for use on a motorcycle. It is waterproof and able to stand up to the rigors and vibrations only a motorcycle can deliver.

It works like a champ and comes with a cradle mount, RAM chrome handlebar mount that fits both 1 and 1.25" bars, a RAM ball connector for maximum adjustability, a power cord that hooks to direct ignition power so that it turns on and off with the ignition, two security keys that lock it to the mount...and a cord to connect the unit to a PC for uploading routes and such. I also have some incidental stuff in the original box that I never used I can include, but you will have to download the manual from the link below as I can't seem to find that. There are tons of videos on YouTube to check out on the unit as well.

I also have a separate cradle mount that attaches to your cars windshield and plugs into the lighter socket (12v) for use in your auto. It suctions on tight and comes right off when not needed, a great added bonus if your car doesn't have GPS.

Even if you don't plan any routes on it, just having a moving map in front of you that you can easily zoom in or out is invaluable on a motorcycle as you can see and anticipate upcoming curves long before you come into them. You can also see side roads that might save you from sitting in a long traffic jam...! It also displays your true speed and I found it much easier to check my speed there than to divert my eyes onto the tank with the old Nomad.

I have found the most precise way to plan routes is to load waypoints directly to the unit then save the route. Routes planned on the PC then uploaded to the unit don't always take the exact same route as planned, but I think that is a common complaint for most GPS users. It is a real gem for traveling short or long distances and has taken me all over the western US on several bikes. I would never travel any distance without a GPS. It shows the closest food, fuel, lodging, etc. I thought I would offer it up here before turning to Craigslist where I'm sure it will get snapped up.
