Selected User Reviews For Garmin Zumo 595LM (Renewed)
Assessment (over 1 week / 1,900 miles) based on a decade of use with the Garmin Zumo 660. br>br>POSITIVESbr>• Integrated with Basecampbr> o Basecamp routes transfer and import with no discernible changes. br> Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress. On routes created with other activity profiles, the Zumo 595 exits motorcycle mode. o Assigns categories to Basecamp waypoints and sorts favorites into them. • Smartphone Linkbr> o Provides real-time traffic information Imagery from traffic cameras is available to the public. br> o Provides weather information Alerts about the weather. o Enables LiveTrack – sharing a weblink (with constantly-updated information) via e-mail (new address) mail. o Shows (and, if desired, reads) text messages o Prompts for fuel gauge reset whenever stopping at or near a filling station. br>• Faster calculating / recalculating (without announcement)br>• Detects fuel stopsbr> • Instead of being buried within, the USB port is concealed beneath a flap. br>br>NEGATIVESbr>• NOT glove-friendlybr> friendlybr> o The sensitivity of the screen is adequate but not exceptional. o Many of the displayed features are TOO SMALL and/or in an inconvenient location. br> Gloved hands can't see the top bar of the map display because it's too small. Warnings are reduced to tiny icons in the upper right corner (far right of top bar) after appearing in the top bar at first. On the first try, it was nearly impossible to open. br>• Improper locationbr>Example: Zumo 595 was unable to distinguish travel on decades-old stretches of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Cherohala Skyway. It was no problem riding the same roads with Zumo 660 eight months before. There are illustrations to be found. • Map Overlays are set to a ridiculously high level, obstructing roads. (Easily changed after a brief rummage through the menus. ) Getting on my nerves! )br>• Annoying alertsbr> o Sound can be turned off, but the pre-recorded messages will continue to play. It is not possible to alter the defined list. br> Every curve with a highway sign generates an alert. br> Helmet law alerts appear near every state line. br> o Ineffective alerts (e. g. "On I75, construction has been reported. ") is a common occurrence. br> If the only option available is "Dismiss," the alert is pointless. • Adventurous Routing is TERRIBLEbr> o Unless you seek cow paths and/or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, trails that have been paved • Displaybr> o Larger. br>br>NEITHER POSITIVE NOR NEGATIVEbr> However, the extra space isn't being used to its full potential. br> o Detects light level and adjusts brightness automatically. o Visibility in the sun isn't any better, if anything, it's worse. (In comparison to the Zumo 660 with hood, this is significantly worse. ) )br>• Accepts larger-sized items. SDHC cards with high capacity are automatically formatted after installation. power- br> Is it possible to have a maximum of 64 GB? br>br>CONCLUSIONbr>The Zumo 595 isn't quite ready for "prime time," as it lacks two key features: o Accuracy in calculating locationbr> o Glove-free operationbr> Both issues could be resolved with software updates, but given that Garmin took months to respond to the WNRO problem with the Zumo 660, a problem that had been known for over two decades, it appears unlikely that they will be addressed anytime soon. I'm keeping mine, but I wish I'd known more before I ordered it.
From the moment I received it, I had trouble connecting the headset. I assumed it was a case of user error, so I looked for assistance in the forums. I was finally able to connect my LG earbuds, but not my helmet, after trying the same steps over and over again. The second time I tried to use the Garmin, the USB port had become loose, and the headset connection had completely stopped working. I reached out to the seller only to learn that I had exceeded the 30-day warranty period and would be unable to exchange the item. They recommended that I go to Garmin for repairs. The cost is 165 dollars from Garmin. So much for saving $200 by purchasing a pre-owned device. I'm currently the proud owner of a pricey brick *sighs*.
I upgraded to the Garmin Zumo 595lm after using a Garmin Montana for several years. What a disappointment. br> br>br>The battery was unable to accept or maintain a charge. The operating system appeared to be slowed down by it. br>br>Dusk, dawn, and dark were the only times when the screen was visible. Would you like to know where you are during the day? It is preferable to park in a shady area. br>br>I also made the mistake of buying a $99 Garmin Topo map. Because the map was so large, it was the only map or overlay you could run at the same time, and it took an eternity to load. Furthermore, the screen had so much detail that you couldn't even zoom in far enough to see where you were or where the curser said you were. br>br>In so many ways, my old Garmin Montana beat the 595lm. br>br>Normally, I am a big fan of Garmin, and I use a lot of their aviation products, which have all met or exceeded my expectations. This one, on the other hand, is a complete no-no.
The Garmin Zumo 595 LM's dim light view was one of my biggest pet peeves. I couldn't see the navigation on the screen because it wasn't bright enough.
On my Benelli TRK 502, I used the following while traveling: As is typical of Garmin products, it worked flawlessly.
really nice.
