![]() ![]() Garmin’s extensive nüvi GPS line is relatively mature and it is upon this baseline that the zūmo 660 is built. ![]() In the end however, we were presented with the zūmo 660. Trying to find out and figure out what Garmin was up to proved to be somewhat frustrating. Last year there was a fair amount of confusion over whether the zūmo line was going to be extended or if something from the Garmin nüvi product line was going to be pushed forward. They were truly made for life on the road - either mounted on a motorcycle, used in a four-wheeler or dismounted for portability.īut in fast-forwarding to the latter part of 2009, the zūmo line (or rather some of its features, depending on user requirements), became limited and ‘long in the tooth’.Īnd with the 450 discontinued, the 550 remained the only motorcycle-specific model offered by Garmin in a continually expanding market. In very short order the 550, along with one or two other competitors, became the navigation standard for motorcyclists and so many other powered transportation enthusiasts and all for good reason.īetween the box contents, the device features and an ability to survive prolonged periods of rough use, the zūmo models remain complete packages. Garmin touted the zūmo 550 to an eager audience as having been designed specifically for ‘bikers”, aka motorcyclists. The zūmo 660 is the latest in the Garmin motorcycle GPS lineup for almost three years, the zūmo 550, later joined by its now discontinued younger 450 sibling, occupied this unique user territory. The extremely popular zūmo (Spanish for “juice” or “squash” i.e., to get the most out of something) products are marketed under Garmin’s “On the Road” category that covers automotive, motorcycles, trucking and traffic services. Their innovative and comprehensive product listing provides something for virtually every application and lifestyle imaginable and their user base is truly global in nature. ![]() Garmin has come a long way since an informal beginning in 1989, although its goal, “to create navigation and communication devices that can enrich our customer’s lives” has remained unchanged. ![]()
