Garmin Zumo 550 - Quick Peek & Video Review

So, Chet over at the Garmin Blog has posted a little video review montage of his new Garmin Zumo 550, and walks us through some of the features of this new motorcycle GPS. The unit is specifically designed to work on a motorcycle, with Bluetooth capabilities to transmit navigation commands to a wireless headset, it's waterproof, and works well with gloved hands. On top of this, its set up makes it easy to use with your left hand, so you won't be taking your right off the throttle to use the GPS!

The unit also supports a nice feature that I would like on more GPS units; namely the ability to pre-program routes, much like you have on handheld devices. This will allow you to program in that long haul cruise from point to point taking the more scenic roads that are better for enjoying the ride than getting there fast.

Take a look at the video below:
