I'm selling my like-new Garmin Zumo 595 LM. My new bike came with a GPS, so I no longer need it.

This was purchased on December 5th, 2017 and was used for a single 2,000 mile pavement trip (Los Angeles - New Orleans). As you can see, it is practically new.

I paid $749.99 for it. Get it for $550 shipped.

This thing works really well with summer or winter gloves on. You can press the screen with surprising accuracy.

Includes:
zūmo 595LM
Preloaded City Navigator® NT for North America
Lifetime maps (indicated by “LM” after model number on the box)
Battery pack
Motorcycle mount and hardware
Motorcycle power cable
Automotive suction cup mount
Automotive power cable
USB cable
Quick start manual

Motorcycle mount not pictured as it is on the bike currently, but included in the sale.

I was following this as I will need a new GPS soon. Not in a position to buy so I did not post up. Can you give me some feedback on the unit? Likes and dislike?


I am on a 60CSX that I cannot see very well and it is mounted on my handlebars vice the crossbar on the screen.

Sure thing.

The real deal is that you will hate it at first. In fact, I almost returned it. The interface is clunky and nothing like a modern Android or iOS device. Garmin Basecamp is likely one of the worst pieces of software that I've tried in years. It's routemaking will puzzle you.

BUT....

It will grow on you as it did on me. I would have not sold it if my new bike didn't come with one.

Pressure-based touch screen works REALLY well with and without gloves.
You start to appreciate its functionality more and more, particularly when paired with the shartphone app and it brings in traffic in real time, weather, etc.
It really brings together your phone, headset, and navigation.

I did a 2K mile trip with it and about half way through, my thoughts on it had completely changed. I no longer wanted to throw it against a wall for being so clunky.

I think everyone's experience will vary. My bar for usability and overall user experience is high because I work in that field, but others might not notice all the things I did and if they do, it might not bother them too much.

I went from not recommending this to my worst enemy to conservatively recommending it if you will be using the majority of its features. If you just want something that will route you from point A to B, you might want to look at something cheaper. If you like to fiddle with electronic gadgets, options, etc. get it. However, get it used. I don't think it is worth the new price tag, even if I've changed my mind about liking it. I'm unsure as to how they can be worth as much as a top of the line smartphone, with complex electronic components and more functionality.

Get the locking Touratech mount for it. That thing is solid and looks really good on the bike.
