TrickLidz Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hello, I have a 06 R1200RT. What would be a better choice? The BMW GPS ( I missed the free offer by 3 days) or the Garmin Zumo 550? http://gpsnow.com/garmin_zumo_550.htm#info Also what make and model is the BMW GPS? TIA, 'Lidz Link to comment
Uggles Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Welcome. I think the new Nav III is a Garmin 2820 but others may correct me on this. Personally I went for a 276C. You may want to do some comparing here. Also check this thread. Cheers, Link to comment
John Bentall Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 There is no way that the NavIII is worth twice the price of a Zumo 550. That would be my choice as you do not NEED the buttons on the BMW cradle. The NavIII is terribly limited if you want to use the cellphone link via the GPS. Link to comment
TrickLidz Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Is anyone using the Zumo on their RT? How does it mount? Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is anyone using the Zumo on their RT? How does it mount? You'll get more responses to that once they become available in the next 1-3 weeks. Link to comment
UberXY Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I exchanged some emails with the US Touratech distributor today and they said that their first of November shipment of Zumo's has yet to arrive. If it works as advertised, it sounds like a interesting unit. Link to comment

glockster Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...ec=&topnav= I am seriously considering this one as it includes the $200 XM antenna. With costco's return policy, you can't really go wrong! Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Wow, that's a great price, even if you have to buy a new Costco membership. It's about $200.00 below what gpsnow.com has them for. Link to comment
