Advantages: Good looking,top of the range,it's designed for bikers, loads of extras Disadvantages: Sometimes bit slow,it is waterproof but not when used for long time in rain
I had my GarminZumo 550 for nearly two years. I bought it because it was top of the range motorcycle sat nav. What i liked about it: whole Europe covered, shock and waterproof, quick and easy to use(don't have to take gloves off), loads of extras( fuel gauge,avg speed,compass, useful information like garages, petrol stations, hotels etc,mp3 player, Bluetooth, not bad memory capacity,speed cameras alerts.
