Garmin Zumo 550 suck

Garmin Zumo 550 should last longer than 3 weeks. I was very happy with unit until a cool fall day and I wanted to ride. Guess what? Garmin Zumo 550 won't turn on. For 652.00 Garmin Zumo 550 should last longer than three weeks. I am sure by the time I send Garmin Zumo 550 in and get Garmin Zumo 550 repaired or replaced I will not have Garmin Zumo 550 for fall riding. Great Bike GPS. I stewed over this for about a year. Researched TomTom Rider and Zumo from their release forward. Read reviews, found a place to see one in person. Set web price watch flags. Then had a price flag for the Zumo on Amazon and a gift refund from Amazon and couldn't hold off any longer. I hope you don't have to put yourself through this anticipation and am writing to re-assure you that this is a cool device. Works well on my motorcyle integrating in with the dash as I mounted Garmin Zumo 550 on the left handle bar of my Yamaha FJR-1300 sport touring bike. At that level the screen is a perfect size, bright enough to be seen in daylight with shades on, and doesn't block any of my instruments. The bracket is very secure and the added screw security pin is reassuring. The controls are easy enough to use through gloves. The movement is clear and smooth and all of the funtionality as described by others is perfect for a motorcycle. The Blue-tooth worked great with my Scala Rider TeamSet pair of headsets, allowing both the rider and passenger to converse and hear the Zumo (directions, MP3, phone, etc.) Took Garmin Zumo 550 on my next business trip and forgot to cancel the Hertz Neverlost that I always order. Put Garmin Zumo 550 on the windshield clip and watched them work at the same time... Zumo is a better car GPS too. I have a GPS in my two cars built in (Jaguar & Toyota). Really other than screen size there is no real difference in response. And the Zumo has the flexibility of downloading your track (like breadcrumbs) to your PC, or letting you create a route on the PC (even see Garmin Zumo 550 on Google Earth) and upload Garmin Zumo 550 to the Zumo. I can see people posting the data files for their favorite twisty trails online soon! Haven't found anything that isn't great. Absolutely no buyer's remorse. And as always the interaction with Amazon and the Premium shipping subcription gets things to my door before I expect them. If you have the $$ this is a great toy to add to your toy! Zumo is the way to go!. I have owned this device for almost two months now, and find Garmin Zumo 550 to be a very well made product. Adding an 8 GB SD card makes Garmin Zumo 550 the only music player that I need for the motorcycle and the car. It's a damned fine GPS too. As usual, the mapping products supplied by Garmin leave a little to be desired, since there have been a few roads I've travelled that weren't in the maps (on four year old roads). But overall, anyone should be very happy purchasing this unit.
