Navigate the Open Road
The Garmin Zumo 500 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator NT street maps for the UK and Ireland. These maps include a hefty points of interest (POIs) database, featuring motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more. Simply enter a destination, and zūmo takes you there with turn-by-turn voice prompts. In addition, the Garmin Zumo accepts customized points of interest such as school zones and safety cameras and includes proximity alerts to warn of upcoming POIs. It is also compatible with Garmin's Tour Guide™ — a free utility that allows you to build and upload a database of POIs that are encoded with photos and MP3 files.
A rechargeable, removable lithium-ion battery is integrated into the Garmin Zumo 500 for trip planning or use on foot. In addition, the Garmin Zumo 500 accepts additional maps — making it the ultimate off-road navigator.
Add Optional Traffic
To help you stay ahead of traffic the Garmin Zumo can receive optional TMC traffic alerts when used with a compatible traffic receiver. Simply press a button on the screen, and zūmo recalculates your route to avoid traffic tie-ups.
Make Hands-Free Calls and Receive Wireless Voice Prompts
With the Garmin Zumo’s Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can talk on the phone safely without removing your gloves or helmet. Connect the Garmin Zumo 500 to your Bluetooth-enabled headset or helmet and cell phone to make and receive hands-free calls. You can even make phone calls to POIs through zūmo’s Bluetooth interface. In addition the Garmin Zumo transmits navigation voice prompts to your headset so you can listen wirelessly.
Plan Your Adventures and Share Your Rides
The Garmin Zumo 500 makes it easy to plan your next trip and share routes with your riding buddies. Plan trips on your computer before you start: search for food and fuel stops and local attractions. Then, transfer your route to your Garmin Zumo 500 and off you go.
At the end of the day you are able to share your favorite places and rides with other Garmin Zumo riders, and review your travels in Google™ Earth. SD card expansion makes it easy for storage and route sharing. Download routes to share with your family or riding buddies — even load mp3 files to your unit to enjoy tunes on the road. In addition, JPEG Picture Viewer lets you share photos of your adventures with friends and family.
