subject: Gps Can Make Life Easier And Safer [print this page] There are many auto GPS models have a pedestrian mode, which means they can used as handheld units when walking around. There are special models for bicycles, motorcycles, and boats. There are GPS/PDAs hybrids, GPS sport watches for running and other activities (they can even record your heart rate); GPS collars for pets, GPS cell phones, GPS walkie-talkies, and even GPS devices for tracking fish or hunting dogs.
As useful as they are, GPS tracking devices are not for everyone. If you are not a person who travels to new places, and you know your way around well, there is no point in spending money on something you will never use. However, if you like exploring new places, by car, bike, boat or on foot, a GPS will make your life much easier and safer.
You might already know how GPS or Global Positioning System works. It locates a subject by cross referencing the satellite signals to plot the position of the user on the globe. But not all GPS devices are the same. Some are made for the army and some are made for you.
The Garmin Zumo 550, this quality designed is not created for a motorcycle but for the motorcyclist himself. The touch screen allows the biker to operate the device even while riding and with the large icons, you can still use it even when you have gloves on.
The Garmin Zumo 550 is waterproof. Sometimes you will be riding your bike for a long time and you may not have the inkling that rain will occur.
This device will never surrender to rain. Bring on any storm and your Garmin GPS will still function.
Zumo allows you to listen to the directions with the help of Bluetooth technology letting you know where you should go and turn without having to look down at the device. Make your motorcycle navigation a breeze with the waterproof Garmin Zumo 550 GPS unit.
