    Zumo 660 question re: Touratech mount

    I have a Zumo 660 and a locking Touratech mount. The mount works, but the 660 is near death. My question is: are there other Zumo models or other GPS units that I can get that will fit the mount that I have?

    Garmin Zumo 396 / BaseCamp Route plotting Issue

    So, I have my Garmin Zumo 396 set to "motorcycle" & "adventure" (supposed to promote off-highway riding), and I plot routes on Garmin's BaseCamp that specifically avoid highways. I download these routes to the Zumo, and all it wants to do is send me on the quickest route via highways! I...

    Adding Routes to a Zumo 665?

    Got my son a GARMIN Zumo 665 for Christmas. Are there web sites I could direct him to when it comes to planning and downloading routes he wishes to create on his laptop to put into the unit? I will admit that though I already have the Zumo 660, I have no clue how to do this, and would...

    XM Radio antenna placement

    I ride an R1200GS Adventure, bought a Garmin Zumo 665 and am wondering where others place the antenna on the bike, and do you stick it there or has anyone figured out how to put it on and take it off? Thanks for the help, I'm a new guy here so I'll probably be asking more! Cheers, Gregg

    I need help. I am unable to transfer routes and waypoints to my Zumo 220 (It's a Nuvi 550 without Bluetooth apparently) using my new IMac with Mac OS X, version 10.6.7. I had previously been able to transfer routes using my Microsoft based PC with no problem. However, when I went back to the...

    MP3 Audio Books on the Zumo 550

    After a couple of years of listening to XM or MP3 music on the Zumo, I'm thinking it would be nice to hear a book or two this upcoming season. I'm always skipping over the Zumo book page as I go between XM and MP#'s. I don't want to pay for the audible.com subscription. I'm simply not going...

    Zumo 550 touchscreen quit working

    Before I send my 550 off to Garmin for repairs, is there anything I can do to try and clear a problem with the touchscreen on the unit? None of the screen functions work. All of the normal pushbuttons function, but you can't select any options on the screen. When it boots up (first pic), the...

    ZUMO Tech Question?

    Considering a ZUMO 550. If I read the literature correctly, when the unit is mounted on the motorcycle, the only way to hear route instructions is via a Bluetooth-comm equipped helmet? Is there no external speaker to hear instructions simply with the naked ear? I know the suction mount for in...

    Garmin mapping question

    Took a trip last month, and I had used Google maps to make a custom route from my parent's home in Virginia to my sister's house in South Carolina. I created a route so I could travel on the Blue Ridge Parkway the majority of the way. After creating this route, I sent it to my Garmin Zumo 550...
