Review on 🏍️ Garmin Zumo 590LM: The Ultimate Motorcycle GPS Navigation System by Matt Tbone

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Best easily the best GPS I have ever had

Best easily the best GPS I have ever had. Ultra-fast response time, fast update; Crazy tech that actually makes the screen look better and more readable in the sun - love it; Auto-oriented, I don't have to hack anything - finally!; A good screen, much, much better than the 390LM (which I owned and sold) makes a world of difference; Tracking information is real, very fast display; Traffic/weather - so-so, I don't really rely on it, but nice to have; Crazy Appozoid software for phone calls - well, don't really use it that much but it's nice to have (Pandora sound quality suffers terribly on mountain tops and dirt roads) I love and use my MP3 player all the time; Phone connected to GPS, Sena SMH 10 connected to GPS, I can make and receive calls - nice; In general, for someone like me who uses GPS as an electronic map and not for route navigation, this GPS is top notch. I've had all previous Zumos, TomTom drivers and tried using the phone as a GPS. Nothing, nothing compares to this device. I have regretted all other previous purchases but I have literally 0 regrets about this one. Well done Garmin, finally!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
