New BMW Motorcycle Zumo Navigator GPS System Based on Garmin
Zumo Ever since
the introduction of BMW’s original
Motorrad Navigator
several years ago, sales of paper maps to BMW riders have
fallen dramatically.
Subsequent generations of Navigator
II, Navigator II Plus and Navigator III GPS systems
further revolutionized long distance route finding for
riders with their fast processing speed, fuel and
water-resistant casing, and unique mounting cradle that
enhanced portability as well as operation with gloved
fingers.
Now, BMW Motorrad has raised the benchmark in
motorcycle navigation equipment yet again with the
introduction of the BMW Zumo Navigator.
More compact and rugged than its predecessors, the BMW
Zumo Navigator is packed with preloaded maps, high-end
navigation features and an ample display screen to give
riders the confidence to take the road less-traveled on
their next trip.
Other key features of the new BMW Zumo Navigator
include:
-
Slick full black body design.
-
Glove-friendly touch screen.
-
Left hand controls, designed for motorcyclists.
-
Special programming lock – limits reprogramming while
in movement.

BMW specific software.

brackets.
-

-

-
Replaceable lithium ion rechargeable battery
(included) for use off the bike up to 5 hours.
-
Bluetooth wireless technology for phone communication.
-
MP-3 Player for storing music.
-
Compass feature equivalent to Navigator III.
-
Shock-resistant, sporty carrying case.
-
High brightness, sunlight-readable, UV-resistant
display screen.

Slightly less expensive than its predecessors, the
BMW Zumo Navigator is available at authorized BMW
motorcycle dealers at a manufacturers suggested retail
price of $969.00.
Specially engineered by Garmin for
BMW, it has many proprietary features not available on
standard Garmin Zumo systems, including a 3-year
