Garmin zumo 550 GPS Receiver

I recently purchased a zumo after seeing it at the Garmin Store in Chicago. It will replace my Garmin 2610 which replaced my Garmin V.

By far this is the best Garmin GPS unit I've owned. It has a large easy to read screen. It has all the necessary functions without being too deep in sub-menus or sub-screens to distract you. Its touch screen functions easily with gloves on.

It does not come with features, such as XM antennas that you may not need but could easily add in the future.

I understand that aircraft must have altimeters and compasses. But these are not required on a GPS for a motorcycle. I am going riding not flying. So knowing the altitude and exact compass direction is not essential.

I believe that a person going from a zumo to one of Garmin's 26xx or 27xx GPS units would find the screen small with overwhelming information.

The zumo is great. I highly recommend it.
