Garmin Zumo
Garmin has announced the debut of the new Zumo motorcycle GPS.
The Garmin Zumo is designed specifically as a motorcycle GPS. The unit was officially unveiled at the MotoGP U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California. Distribution is expected November 2006.
Garmin's press release for the product follows:
With a glove-friendly design featuring left-handed controls and oversized touch-screen buttons on a bright display, Bluetooth ?hands-free-to-helmet? wireless technology capability, and a rugged, dependable locking mount, Zumo is at home on virtually any motorcycle or scooter.
?The Garmin Zumo is designed by motorcyclists for motorcyclists, so it naturally includes hardware and software features that make the device stand out from any other navigator on the market,? said Gary Kelley, Garmin?s vice president of marketing.
?Garmin has long been known as a pioneer in satellite navigation in aircraft, boats, cars, so we?re proud to be able to offer a unit that stands up to the demands of motorcyclists and a motorcycle?s demanding environment.?
The Zumo boasts a 3.5-inch (diagonal) high-bright, sunlight readable touch screen display, encased in a waterproof (IEC 529 IPX-7 standards) housing made of plastics that resist damage from fuel splashes and UV light.
In addition to the touch screen, Zumo has four dedicated left-handed buttons for quick input. Zumo is equipped with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, which acquires and maintains a GPS signal even in heavy foliage or ?urban canyons? created by city skyscrapers.
The navigator also features solid state memory, which mitigates the effects of vibration, shock, cold, heat ? and displays and redraws maps faster.
Zumo is secured to the motorcycle with a locking mount that has waterproof power and data cable connections and is able to withstand the severe vibration environment commonly experienced in motorcycle riding. A rechargeable user-removable lithium-ion battery (three hour typical use) is integrated into the Zumo for trip planning or use on foot.
Bluetooth capability makes it possible for riders to retrieve and dial numbers using a supported phone?s contact list or from the phone?s call history log. A user can also make calls from the Zumo huge points of interest database that includes hotels, restaurants, stores, and much more.
In addition, the Bluetooth connectivity also gives motorcyclists the ability to receive and place phone calls as well as receive turn-by-turn voice prompts wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled headsets or helmets. More than 200 Bluetooth phones are supported.
Zumo features a 10-thousand point track log, allowing users to record even the longest of rides ? and the included MapSource DVD even lets motorcyclists relive a memorable tour on their home computer through the 3-D Google Earth interface. Riders can also plan upcoming trips on their computer, and swap routes and waypoints with other zūmo owners via the unit?s SD card slot.
Users can also access Zumo?s trip computer page for trip information like speed, heading, and a customizable fuel gauge that allows users to define their motorcycle?s maximum fuel range.
When the Zumo calculates that the motorcycle is low on fuel, it automatically reminds the rider and suggests a route to a nearby gas station. The Zumo even has a compass page and accepts electronic topo maps -- making it the ultimate off-road navigator. For those long trips, riders can stay entertained with the Zumo?s built-in MP3 player.
The Zumo comes pre-loaded with South Africa Streetmaps Version 4 data, and includes millions of points of interest ? places like hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and attractions.
The Zumo gives turn-by-turn directions via multiple language and gender voice guidance with spoken street names and either 3-D or 2-D maps. The device also allows customers to load customized points of interest (POIs) such as safety cameras and school zones, and zumo is compatible with Garmin?s Tour Guide ? a free utility that allows users to build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3 files. For added versatility, Zumo is also compatible with Garmin Travel Guides and SaversGuide.
Real-time traffic is an option through either an FM RDS-TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver (U.K. only) or XM NavTraffic (U.S. only) receiver. When the optional traffic service is activated, Zumo calculates routes that navigate around traffic.
Accidents, road construction, or other incidents affecting traffic are graphically represented as icons on the navigation map. Information relating to a traffic incident is also available including the precise location, lanes affected, and the predicted duration. Customers selecting the XM NavTraffic receiver can also access XM?s weather forecasts, current conditions, and county warnings as well as over 170 channels of XM Radio. ( Not Available in Africa)
