maxwell123455 is on a distinguished road
Ive a Garmin Zumo 550

Its a great piece of kit and has all the bells and stuff if you ever needed it (except you have to buy your own blue tooth headset if you want to here the women tell you where to go)

I bought it off another forum member on this site so got it cheaper than retail and its got full UK and Ireland maps + Western Europe. Ive mounted it on the lhs of the bars and it seems to work fine, not vibes or problems so far. Ive just wired mine directly to the battery and ran the wiring up the lhs of the tank. I never leave the GPS on the bike when i leave it so no problem with it draining the battery.

It is an expensive buy but then you do get both bike and car setups for it plus its got all the programming and stuff you need for the computer etc. Ive not used most of it as i normally use A-B routes or just use it as Map mode and have a general route/area in my head i want to travel in.

Would i buy it again?Yes
At full price?no
