Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of GARMIN Zumo 450 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
Customer Review: Good value and pricing coming into range
Summary: 5 Stars
The Zumo 450 works as advertised. Installation is easy on the bike and software installation is easy on the computer. Getting used to putting in enough waypoints takes some getting used to, but in the end, this allows you to really customize a route as much as you want. The MP3 feature will only recognize up to 1,000 files, so don't buy a large SD card, you can't use it all anyway. The touch screen works well and is easy to use while in traffic. Overall a good product and the prices are down below $400. Too bad they quit making this model.Customer Review: Great GPS for Motorcyclists
Summary: 4 Stars
Ordered my GPS from Amazon when the price was $399. Ordered arrived quickly, everything looked new in sealed factory packaging. Installation of the unit on the RAM mount was easy, but you need to know how to hardwire the GPS unit to your battery for power, there are no instructions for this. The unit works great and is easy to use. My only problem is that I can't get the Map Source Routes I have created with the software to download to my GPS unit....I keep getting an error code. Once I figure this out, I will be 100% satisfied.Customer Review: Excellent motorcycle gps!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Garmin Zumo 450 was easy to install. I installed it directly into the extra power wires located in my bike's headlight. The gps mount is very stable and with the power plugged into the headlight power, the Zumo turns on and off when I turn the bike on or off. I just used it through a hard rainstorm last weekend and it was perfectly fine. The display is nice and bright for any conditions I've encountered so far. If you don't need audible directions or bluetooth connections, then this gps is perfect.Customer Review: Great but doesn't stand the test of time. Buy cheaper model and replace as needed.

Simply put. This works great. It locks a signal fast, routes well, bluetooth compatibility is good.
Problem = long-term. You're paying $600 for a device that, after a year, is out of warranty.
If you're a casual "biker," go for it. If you're a daily rider or hardcore enthusiast, get the extended warranty or buy a cheaper GPS and swap it out.
For $600, you can buy six GPS and just chuck 'em when they become problematic.
I regret purchasing a Zumo.
Customer Review: Zumo 450
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Ready to go right out of the box so learning curve is very short.
Basemap upgrade(Garmin price $70) available for FREE when registering product. Motorcycle mount is very versatile for any brand m/c. Excellent interface with communication system. Touch screen works easily with gloved fingers.
Cons: No power cord or mount for use in auto. Must be purchased extra.
This unit is great for the price if you do not need bluetooth or XM capability,
