The Garmin GPS Motorcycle Mount fits perfectly onto any motorcycle. It's clean and unobtrusive, in addition to being lightweight. Not only that, the Garmin is perfect for glove friendly applications, as well as left-handed controls. Moreover, the hands free Bluetooth technology makes it even easier to use. Garmin products are actually made by motorcycle riders, so it makes sense that they know how to create the perfect design.
The Zumo proudly has a giant, clear 3.5" touch screen, which is also glare-free and waterproof. Because the Garmin GPS Motorcycle Mount is made of durable plastic, it won’t crack, shatter, scratch or break. Besides the fact that this mount is so easy to use, the Zumo has four buttons on the left of the device for quick inputs; the high-tech receiver makes it possible to pick out signal in just about every nook and cranny of the world. Even in those highly industrial areas, or perhaps between those giant high-rise buildings, the Zumo's effectiveness is profound. Vibrations, floods, storms, it really doesn't matter; this durable little device is scared of nothing. A rechargeable lithium battery allows usage up to about three hours.
The Garmin GPS Motorcycle Mount also allows the driver to make calls via Bluetooth to points of interest databases: restaurants, museums, hotels, stores and so many more. The commands can also be rigged to the Bluetooth for safer travel. Step-by-step directions can be fed into the headset. Imagine this: the trips and routes can actually be recorded on to gps, so the driver can actually log his or her trip and find the best routes for next time. The Zumo also helps calculate fuel, and reminds the driver when its time to replenish. The gps will give the quickest, easiest way to a service station. Perhaps the best feature of the Zumo is that it can keep track of traffic in real-time and provide alternate routes.
The mount is made of marine grade powder coated aluminum.
The case, made from high strength composite, is a medium/wide size waterproof box with a clear Flex-Lens allowing you to press and operate the buttons of your device when secured in the Aqua Box. The box offers the ability to lock the device inside with a small keyed padlock (not included). Your GPS sits inside safe from the elements!
This Aqua Box measures: 4.0 inches high, 6.0 wide, 1.75 inches deep.

| Love it! I used this box on a 4-day motorcycle ride through mountain rain & deep-south sun. It kept my Garmin Nuvi 250W clean and dry the whole trip. And, it was very easy to see the screen and push the on-screen buttons even with gloves on. Installation was fairly easy but it did take a little preparation. I drilled 1 small hole in the knock-out plug (instead of knocking it out) and ran the direct-wire cable out through one of the unused screw holes in the mounting plate. Then I used some clear bath caulk to seal up the rest of the holes. There are a million ways to position this set up so, you can put the GPS right where you want it. If you want a solution that is extremely flexible and functional (and you're not so hung up on having precise instructions), then this box is for you. |
