Garmin today announced its latest motorcycle GPS navigation system, the Garmin Zumo, which appears to be the motorcycle GPS to end all motorcycle GPSes.
The darn thing has customizable end caps to match the color of your bike. It also comes with decals in flames or tribal stripes.
It's waterproof for all weather riding, and has large buttons so that you can punch it with your gloves on. Bluetooth technology allows it to connect to your Bluetooth helmet, and your Bluetooth cell phone, as well as your Bluetooth bootstraps.
In fact, it will even calculate your mileage, tell you when you fuel is running low, and direct you to nearest gas station. It can also track your blood-alcohol level, tell you when you need another beer, and locate the nearest biker bar.
If your cell phone is ringing, the Garmin Zumo will answer the call, and display it on its screen, so not only can you talk while riding down the freeway, but watch the conversation as well!
That's not all, it has software to track your route and will record it on to a memory card which you can transfer on to your PC or laptop, and map it all out using Google Earth.
The Zumo will retail for $1,000, and is expected to be available in October.
