Customer Reviews

Honest review by motorcyclist
The Zumo 500 De Luxe is an excellent piece of kit for the motorcyclist and shares many features with Garmins's superb Nuvi range. It comes with UK maps installed but the European maps must be loaded onto a SD card (not supplied) but this takes about 20minutes with a computer. Only a motorcycle mount is supplied but surely that is all you need?

Easy-to-use controls, top of the range RAM mount, superb easy-to-read display combine to make a superb unit.

This sets the benchmark in GPS units for motorcyclists.

absolute rubbish
If you want this product to work in the UK. DO NOT BUY THIS. It is a french version. Nothing works in the uk. The CD's don't even run.
