Garmin Zumo 550 Software Update
The Garmin Zumo 550 launched last year, and has done pretty well in the marketplace as more and more people cruise the roadways on their motorcycle, and more and more want the confidence of a GPS. Garmin's recent software update for the Zumo 550 looks like it's the product of some good solid consumer research, listening to requests and changing how the Zumo interacts with the rider.... and just in time for the 2007 riding season which is beginning in the warmer areas.... me? I am walking out into single digit temps this morning, but I digress.
Here's a partial list of the updated features:
Allow panning from main map. Touching vehicle on main map displays coordinates and elevation in save dialog.
Added more fields to the trip computer including fuel gauge odometer.
Enabled compass display full time with additional data fields.
Enhanced XM weather support which is available from XM button on the main menu.
Enhanced traffic incident reporting.
Added support for SDHC cards and increased MP3 playlist limit to 1000 songs.
Added Audible books support.
Added option to limit BT headset audio to phone only.
Added option to display track log on map.
