Well, I think I've given up on my old Zumo 550 for motorcycle use but will still use it in the car.

The motorcycle mount broke internally/electrically somehow. It's gotten to be a pain to update and sometimes glitches anyway so I just ordered the new Zumo 595 LM. Anybody have the 595? What do you think of it?

I still got an old Zumo model that I bought used together with my vstrom 4 1/2 years ago (so the GPS is probably 6 years old):

Sometimes I wonder if it would be worthwhile to do an upgrade... but I guess I will wait for it to fail first.

The 595 looks nice, but I'm thinking the 395/396 models are more what I want. I've been using a car GPS in a weatherproof mount, and while it works for navigation, sometimes its a bit tough to see through the glare. The 39x series supposedly have the brighter / clearer displays that work better in the sun.

I just outfitted my wing with a Garmin Zumo 395 and two tire pressure sensors.  Seems good so far.  It connects to a 3.5mm RCA plug or Bluetooth.

I have had a 550 for years, ever since they  came out. Still works great, updates (got the lifetime updates) and I love it. Got weather and XM radio on it also.
