Although a reasonably well performing GPS with decent telephony features, I strongly, stronly recommend AGAINST buying this product.
The key reasons are:
1) The management software / Mapsource is totally unintelligble, and is impossible to load.
No guidance at all on the Garmin webpage which explains how their software is supposed to function. (You know, map management tool, purchases, or anything like that. The only thing that works is the payment page)
2) USB drivers simply do not work, and there is no way to connect the gps to a computer. (Yes, I am running an up to date computer, with Visa, release 2, etc. etc.)
3) Map updates crash the computer. (Three different ones so far, so I am inclined to blame their software)
4) Endless requests for codes that they supposedly e-mailed (never arrived)
5) Endless requests for new payments, that don’t achieve anything
6) Support which never answers
7) Lifetime map downloads ($139.95) which do not download, try to download, just crash the system.
So far I have spend close to $900 on this gps. I am still riding with the original map that it came it came with, as none of the software it came with, or the first “free” update, nor the downloads, nor the “paid” updates ever did anything but cost me five days of computer frustrations. (As well as several hours being lost in the Spanish countryside as the system did not know roads opened three years previously – although the unit dates back to June 2009)
And yes, I do know how to work a computer. 25 years in high tech, and currently manage a corporate network.
Hence, I am resorting to this comment page to finally get some help, as Garmin has so far completely ignored all requests for support, just taking the money and providing a useless product.
AGAIN: DO NOT BUY THIS GPS. The physical unit is decent, but the software and support is a total RIP-OFF. I can not believe that these people are actually a main line supplier.
I invite GARMIN to contact me at [...] to make me change my mind about them, as their own avenues of communications do not provide any response.

This is my 2nd GPS I have purchased for use on my motorcycle and there is no comparison between this one and my first. The first was a Lowrance… too small, no features, no computer interface… mistake. But this one is great. Easy computer access and route / trip planning. Mounts nicely on the bike. Like others have said, I wish there were some alternatives to the lengthy wire harness, but a few tiewraps later and it is hidden well out of sight under the handlebars. I synced a bluetooth headset to it and it took with no problems. So now I can listen to some tunes and directions at the same time. Screen is a nice size and easy to see even in sunlight. I do wish they would have given you access to the USB port without having to remove the battery door. It is a bit of a pain and I can see me breaking this sooner or later. Or loosing the door, dog might eat it. Very nice unit.

I cannot speak to the shortcomings in other units, because I just bought mine last month. I purchased a 99 Kawasaki Concours in Indiana (I live in New York) and wanted the GPS so that I could have it on the drive back. I purchased the Zumo so I could wander off the beaten path and still make it home while playing my favorite tunes and allowing my wife to call me and check up on my progress. I paired it with the BlueAnt Interphone F4 installed in my helmet. I am not in the mood for a long review, so I will just say that the setup worked almost flawlessly. Twelve hours of straight steady rain had no effect. I have not been able to pair it with my Nokia phone, but other than that I have been satisfied. I use it for routing for work, and combined with the Mapsource software it has greatly increased my efficiency. I like the different modes (motorcycle and automobile) as well. This is my fourth Garmin, I have two Nuvis – an 850 something for my wife, 760 for my car, and older Streetpilot 550 for the old pickup, and this is the best yet. Using the Mapsource DVD makes complex custom routing very easy – as well as synchronizing favorites and routes between units. I saw some negative reviews, but I am happy I did not let them deter me – although the fact that I have more recent version/ firmware than early adopters could explain some of the performance differences. Highly recommended.
