Top Reasons Why Riders Prefer zūmo

0 comments

For motorcyclists who seek out those twisty, gnarly roads that lead to adventure, our zūmo 396 GPS navigator is way ahead of the curve. Here are just a few of the advanced features and highlights that make zūmo the premier choice when it comes to grabbing fun by the handlebars:

Rider Alerts and Automatic Incident Notifications: Helpful rider alerts notify you of sharp curves ahead, speed changes, railroad and animal crossings, red light and speed cameras1, school zones and more. If an incident happens, the automatic incident detection feature will send out a text message with location information to your preselected contact.

Music:  Sync zūmo with a compatible smartphone or media player plus a headset or helmet (not included) enabled with Bluetooth technology for on-screen music and playlist control. Take your own soundtrack along for the ride.

LiveTrack: The free Smartphone Link app gives your zūmo access to LiveTrack capability, a feature that lets friends track your whereabouts in real time whenever you’re out on a ride.

Rugged, Road-tested Design: Designed by bikers for bikers, the glove-friendly zūmo 396 is built to instill confidence wherever you ride. The display is sharp and easy to see in bright sunlight, plus it works great even in rainy weather. It’s also resistant to fuel vapors, UV rays and other environmental elements.

Elevation Information: In addition to detailed maps that show those terrain-hugging rides you love, zūmo 396 also lets you view elevation data along your route — so you can anticipate when you’ll need to slow up or gear down for a climb.

Route Sharing: To simplify the planning, sharing and tracking of routes, zūmo lets you easily share GPX route files2 via email or text messaging with your fellow riders. Using the free Smartphone Link app, everyone can wirelessly load the files from their phone to their zūmo — so they can easily follow the same planned route and stay connected on group rides.

New and Popular Points of Interest Preloaded: To help you find more fun things to see and do on your rides, zūmo comes preloaded with Foursquare data for millions of new and popular points of interest. Plus, you can view TripAdvisor ratings for hotels, restaurants and attractions along your route or near your destination.
