"Buggy Software"
Pros: Excellent interface, good display.
Cons: Slow route calculations, guidance can lag actual position, unit locks-up in power-off state.
Summary: I bought the Zumo after reading a couple of favorable reviews primarily for use on my motorcycle. I have to give the unit high marks for its interface and the display ... it really does have some neat features. Unfortunately, the buggy software makes the unit undependable. It has experienced multiple lock-ups in the power off mode while in the mount over the first month I've owned it. The unit simply will not power back on. The only way to recover is to use a 2mm hex wrench (not supplied) to remove the battery and then reinstall. Surprisingly, this is not an uncommon occurance. A quick internet search led me to a Zumo users forum where I found many cases of folks having the very same problem. If you don't mind reinstalling the battery from time to time this might not bother you but for me the Zumo seems likely to become an expensive paperweight.
