here is my tale of zumo. I recently upgarded from a garmin 2720 to a zumo 550.
so two weeks ago I ride out to the country and travel some of my favorite roads I decide to go to Pa and visit a friend after
then the fun begins, I enter my parents home address and the zumo calculates the route but has no arrival time, this is my first indication that something is not right. I start to look at the route that my zumo wants me to travel and the route goes straight west from pa to ohio and further west, then up into Canada yes Canada and then back east and south to Long Island NY.

so then I enter my home address and it gives me the same directions, I shut the unit off and the powered it back on and tried again, same thing, so I go to prefences and change the zumo from fastest time to shortest distance and finally the zumo starts to work then I changed it back to fastest time and zumo gave me the correct directions home.
since then I have used it twice and so far so good I like the fact that I can listen to my music without an Ipod, I think that the sound quality is very good and having the volume control right on the unit is much better that digging in my pocket for the Ipod.
also very usefull is the bluetooth function, I did not put a mic in my helmet but now when my phone rings the volume mutes and I can answer the call and listen in on what they have to say, my wife already knows to just speak that I can hear her and if it is important then I can just pull over when safe and call back or just ignore the call and send them to voice mail.

<font color='#000000'>i was going to install HID in my 2000 VFR but I would have lost my highbeams and didn't want the hassle at inspection time. ?I could have done the one-eyed CBR set up but I think that looks silly.</font>
i was also thinking about installing them on my 2000 vfr but without installing the projectors they are just way to brite, i had them installed on my SUZUKI and I was blinding everybody in front of me and also oncoming traffic.i was always worried about pissing off some nut in a cage who might do something real dumb.
