New guy with a Zumo 550

 

Hi, just got a Zumo 550 for my KLR650 and was wondering what some good POIs would be to download for it and if anyone has any tips/ suggestions with working with the Zumo. Thank you!

Well, welcome to the site

Welcome to the site. As to suggestions, it depends on your interests. I would start with the Rest Areas, then add others I thought I would use. The Ride-to-eat POI are some good choices. My preference is the GPX version over the CSV version, but again that's preference. GPX will give you some more features but both carry the same basic information. Don't let the raw file size scare you, they are both read and processed down into a combined file that is actually on your unit.

Other choices would be gas stations and possibly dealer locations in case repair is needed. Your favorite eating places are probably available here as well.

Read through the FAQs, they will answer a lot of your questions and point you to the software needed to both update and customize your Zumo. Most of all, have fun!

Hey, thank you for your response - I already have seen some interesting POIs here - I am sure the speed/ red light camera one is popular! And the motorcycle camping places one looks good.
