I got my Zumo 550 today

[warbrown]

After reading lots of reviews, I decided to put my money down on the Garmin Zumo 550 instead of the Tom Tom Rider. I'm sure I'd be happy with either, but I went with the Zumo because of the universal praise and the fact that I've already got a Garmin C330 in the car. It comes with 2 types of Ram-mounts depending on bar type, and the install was easy. Now if it was just a bit warmer I could give you a real world test

(In addition to the bluetooth, MP3 player, etc, I like the little motorcycle icon on the screen instead of the generic direction arrow or car)

I guess the cockpit is a bit crowded now. I've still got some room on the right side though. Any suggestions?

How is the fit?
Did you have to move anything?
I'm leaning towards the zumo myself.
I bought the nuvi 660 for the car and love it.

Very nice Warren! I am mounting up my Garmen 2650 as soon as I get my stem mount, which is on back order.

Tom.

Can you log in GPS coordinates, as in Latitudes and Longitudes ? And does it go down to min or sec in Lats and Longs

Yes, you can enter coordinates manually. Not sure about your second question.

The fit is nice, and with the dual ball /socket setup it's easy to move to just the right height and position. It just attaches to the clutch mount , replacing the stock screws with longer ones to accomodate the mount. It's a bit blurry in the first close-up pic, but you can vaugely see the mount. Didn't have to move a thing, and left my stemstand free for the radar detector.
