Another Too Good To Be True Price For Zumo

[Jon28]

So yes....I still haven't got a GPS for my bike. Now I'm debating on selling my Nuvi 760 and getting a Zumo or just getting the aquabox as mentioned here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49207

So while surfing I came across this link: http://www.navigenius.com/products.asp?dep...boxcontent#tabs

And then I googled navigenius reviews and found that its just another bait and switch company that preys on us. I found the rip off report, which is an informative website, see here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/407/RipOff0407875.htm

Anyways just another too good to be true deal fellas...you have been warned.

Speaking of a Nuvi 760 (which is a pretty good unit)........they can be found at Sams Club for well under $200.

So is there anywhere that anyone got their zumo 550 for a good deal? That isn't a bait and switch company :biggrin:

Well,..... I won't be buying diddily-squat, for a while, BUT Thanks for the heads-up! :biggrin:

FWIW: I did find and purchase a Tom Tom Rider 2 for $350 on Amazon. Okay stop you Zumo nuts.....don't shoot me!! I know the Zumo is better yada yada yada.....but for half the price and waterproof.....I had to try it.

I will post a full review after TMAC....

Maybe some competition will finally cause the Zumo price to drop. It's funny that the price of every Nuvi they offer has been dropping like a rock, but the Zumo has maintained it's price all this time.

I see the Rider 2 comes with an in-helmet Bluetooth headset. I've already got an audio system for my bike (Starcom1), so I'd be interested in knowing whether it has a mini-plug that I could plug into to get the spoken directions fed through my existing Starcom1 unit.

For you shopping for the Zumo...FYI, the 450 series is now discontinued and after a recent search most places are out of stock so be wary of that fact before purchasing. Methinks this was done to force anyone hoping for a Zumo to buy the higher end unit at the higher price as they are pretty much the same except a few added bells and whistles. :biggrin:

ripoffreport.com (as pointed out by Jon28) is a great site for ensuring your peace of mind on an internet purchase. I used it when I bought my Zumo 450 a while back and it saved me from finding out the hard way about the same site he has in his post. :biggrin:
