We have written about their GPS navigation systems for automobiles and now we want to make sure that you know that Garmin has specific products for motorcycle enthusiasts as well.
The Garmin zūmo 595LM, with its 5-inch screen, will help motorcycle riders in many ways to make their rides more enjoyable, and safer. Featuring Garmin Adventurous Routing options for those twisty, hilly, terrain-hugging rides you love, zūmo 595LM is the motorcycle navigator “built to thrill.” With this option, it will help you determine which roads have more curves and hills while trying to avoid large stretches of highway. Its large, glove-friendly 5.0-inch high-res touchscreen can be viewed in landscape or portrait mode. And transflective technology gives it a bright, crisp color display that reduces glare and is easy to read in sunlight.
To enhance road awareness and encourage a safer ride, zūmo 595LM provides helpful alerts for weather updates so that you're not caught in storms, sharp curves ahead, road hazards, speed changes, railroad and animal crossings, school zones and more. Additionally, you’re notified when you need to check state helmet laws — or when you’re about to drive the wrong way on a one-way street. You also receive alerts for nearby red light and speed cameras. Plus, for longer rides, a fatigue warning will even suggest break times and potential rest areas worth considering after hours on the road. The zūmo Up Ahead feature lets you easily see places of interest and milestones along your route, without leaving the map view on your navigation display. Plus, Easy Route Shaping lets you add a point on the map to adjust your route, so you can ride through preferred areas or follow specific roads.
Sync your zūmo with a compatible smartphone and a Bluetooth-enabled compatible headset or helmet. You can control music or media, and you can stream music from players like Spotify and Pandora. If you need to take a break from the peace and serenity of your ride for a personal or business call, the zūmo 595LM allows you to make and receive calls, and without taking your hand off of the handlebars or your helmet off. Additionally, spoken directions can be heard when paired with a compatible headset or helmet. All of this is possible while your phone is safely stored away, ensuring to diversions from the road. The zūmo also has its LiveTrack feature, which enables you to share your ride so that family and friends can track your location.
In addition to these features, Garmin made sure to outfit its zūmo 595LM with the same features that riders have come to expect in any of its navigation products. The Dynamic Fuel Stop feature, which suggests actual fuel stop locations based on the distance the rider’s fuel is expected to last so you don't run on empty. A speed limit indicator lets you know when it’s time to throttle down. Plus, a digital compass display and a database of motorcycle-specific points of interest (POIs) are on hand to help you locate cycle repair services, dealers and more. There’s also a Service History Log on your zūmo to help you organize and keep track of service dates, mileage and performed maintenance on your bike.
Garmin Real Directions redefines the concept of “spoken turn-by-turn directions.” In addition to speaking street names, your zūmo offers guidance using recognizable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights (e.g., “Turn right after the red building”). And thanks to Foursquare data, zūmo is preloaded with millions of more new and popular places to explore. In addition, the Garmin Direct Access feature helps simplify your navigation to select complex destinations, like malls and airports, by providing detailed location information once you reach the recommended entrance (e.g. A specific store inside a mall). There’s also a TracBack® feature on zūmo that allows you to navigate the same route, in reverse, for your return trip.
The zūmo 595LM is also compatible with the VIRB series of HD action cameras (sold separately) so that you can record the highlights of your ride. Remotely control VIRB – start and stop recording – all from from your zūmo display. It’s easy and fun to record relive every adventure.
And, with lifetime map updates you will always have the most up-to-date points of interest and maps available.
Garmin's zūmo 595LM is perfect for all riders of all levels, whether a beginner or veteran. You will enjoy and benefit from this awesome product in so many ways.
