BMW Zumo GPS for Your Motorcycle
By Susan M. Keenan ©2008

The BMW Zumo GPS for motorcycles is compact so it takes up as little space as possible. Plus, it is rugged in design so even though it does not have to take a beating, it can. Moreover, the BMW Zumo GPS is easy to use, so once you read the directions, you are set to go. Using an advanced system such as the Zumo makes it much easier to get to unfamiliar places without having to stop for directions, get out the map, or call up a friend.

The screen is so sensitive that you can use it even with your bike gloves on. Plus, the controls are set up on the left-hand side of the device, simplifying the use of the GPS unit for motorbike riders.

Plus, the Zumo has been designed for durability. It is both water resistant and fuel resistant so you don’t have to worry about it being out in the rain or getting splashed with petrol. Additionally, it is shock and vibration proof, something that all motorbike GPS units should be in order to keep it in good working order while you are traveling along the highway at a fast clip.

One of the perks of the BMW Zumo GPS for motorcycles is the fact that it features Bluetooth wireless technology. This gives you phone communication at your fingertips for emergencies.

The screen of your GPS features a UV-display that is always highly visible. Plus, the screen is not marred by sunlight, but rather, it remains easy to see and read. Moreover, the BMW database is pre-installed on your Zumo as well.

Each Zumo GPS comes with a pre-installed mapping software package that includes all of North America. How great is that? You never have to shuffle through an old-fashioned map that has you in fits as you try to fold it back up again.

Unfortunately for those of you without a BMW motorcycle, the BMW Zumo GPS is designed for use with BMW motorcycles only. The BMW Zumo GPS for motorcycles is available in local BMW dealerships only.
