Member Contributer Silver#788 Posted April 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2008 I fear it must be a scam so "PLEASE DO NOT ORDER UNLESS YOU CAN VERIFY THE COMPANY" But if it is real then $325 is a REALLY god price. I paid way more! http://divine-shopping.com/Product_Detail.asp?id=1146 Possible Scam Please Research before considering an order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted April 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2008 probably scam. I found a couple sites reporting that the domain was available as of february last year. So its probably an old website for a company that doesn't exist anymore, but is still up and able to take your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted April 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2008 oh, plus the whole, "located in China" deal doesn't smell right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer didit Posted April 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2008 Though not a Zumo (therefore not motorcycle intent), not waterproof, vibration proof or glove ready, this still looks pretty cool. http://navigonusa.com/products/2100-max It's legit and interesting. May have to look at the Canadian version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Chev Posted April 17, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2008 Speaking of cheapest Zumo ever. I found a real company while looking for my Zumo that sells them for $515. Whats the catch? It's a non-US version. So what? That means there is no waranty in the US. :pissed: No deal. Be very careful of any Garmin product that might not be a US marketed version.

Member Contributer VFRGEEZER Posted May 20, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted May 20, 2008 wow the zumo is not cheap. Take a look at the new Tom Tom Rider2, recently upgraded. Has map sharing and you can change your maps to show road blockages etc. Cost is $649. These guys seem to have some good ideas.

Guest Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Cost is $649. These guys seem to have some good ideas. So.. same price as the Zumo then. The Zumo is becoming like the iPod: even if there is a comparable device for cheaper, there is a big enough community to make Zumo the winner (connect.garmin.com/zumo, autocom making cables for the zumo, etc).

Member Contributer magicman Posted May 20, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted May 20, 2008 I just ebay'd myself a Magellan Roadmate 2200T. $109.

No bluetooth, but my map wouldn't have that either... I currently have a Magellan 2200T with a tech mount. Works ok. 2 things that are making me lean towards the Zumo: 1) a lot of glare on the magellan. hard to see the screen on sunny days. 2) cannot take custom routes. You cannot build custom routes. Aside from the Zumo, is there another less expensive GPS that will let you create routes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off eBay for less then $200 as a Factory refurbished unit with teh same 1 year Garmin warranty. :comp13: It's very cool to build custom routes of just twisty back roads, what a blast! :wheel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, it will auto-recalculate your route if you happen to "accidentally" take the "wrong" road... It'll get you back to where you need to go, even if you mistakenly take that twisty backroad instead of the highway. Hopefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just last weekend, I planned a 100 mile route all using backroads. I ended up printing the directions in paper and using my tank bag to hold the paper. The magellan 2200T was of no help for this.

Mapsource and the Zumo make a good combo for this. Even better when you get back you can see what you actually did (tracks) and map out new routes for a return engagement.

A lot of the companys are selling the USA part number. When I queried this, I was informed that the units are all the same, and that the waranty is valid where ever you buy from and where ever you live.

Member Contributer vanion2 Posted May 21, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted May 21, 2008 Have you considered the Zumo 450? Same setup minus the bluetooth and a few other extras. Everything else is the same though and the price is definitely less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
