According to our Motorcycle navigation system expert
You can find small and hilly roads with the Garmin Zumo 595 LM Travel Edition. This is a very extensive motorcycle navigation system which you can use to find the greatest routes in entire Europe. You can place the 5-inch touchscreen either vertically or horizontally, so you can read the route from the most ideal viewing angle. You can also operate it with gloves on, which is safer. You can connect your smartphone and motorcycle headset to the Zumo 595, so you can receive calls and spoken navigation directions. Do you rather shut yourself off from the outside world completely? Put on a headset and listen to music. Thanks to the built-in Spotify player, you'll have your favorite songs at hand right away. The Garmin Zumo will give you useful notifications while on the go, like places for motorcycle repairs.

Just sit down for a while. I really got to grips with him.
My Zumo 550 broke after 10 years of use. Mobile on the handlebars is not a success, so bought a new Garmin. The first impression was good: nice and complete. Feels solid and is complete with everything you need on the bike. Also fast delivery. But then the use: The first experiences were so that I considered sending it back. But that was not possible because a 4-day trip to the Eifel was imminent, for which I routes created with MyRouteApp.
The supplied wiring is of heavy caliber, but protrudes clumsily from the side of the holder. Ugly. The cable splits too quickly into a thick bunch of 6 other wires. I couldn't get rid of that thick split on the bike (R1200GS). Pairing with my mobile and the Sena SC headset (Schuberth C4 helmet) went well, but kept getting forgotten. After a few attempts it worked and now it is no longer a problem. The manual could be a lot better in this area. The battery of the Garmin drains very quickly (within an hour). But once on the bike, that's no problem of course. The micro USB connection is nicely hidden behind a rubber flap, but looks creaky and seems to sit crooked in the housing and it quickly loses contact with the supplied (too short!) cable. Music and voice instructions regularly grind in my headset. Especially shortly after making the BT connections. This was never the case with the 550. During use, the Garmin crashed twice. Very bored and that gives a bad aftertaste.
Navigating from A to B is easy. But loading routes is a drama if you don't know how it works. This should have been in the manual. Now I had to invent this difficult method through a video from the internet. Basically, if you've created a route and managed to get it on your Zumo, then there's no route like there was with the 550. No, there is a strange route with straight lines from point to point. To get a usable route you happen to know that you need to convert a track into a journey. And if you then want to start the journey, it is a gamble which way you will go (to the beginning or to the end). So always make sure you start somewhere a few miles away and have to navigate there first. My main purchase argument was that I could wirelessly upload routes from my mobile to the 595. Unfortunately. With the Smartphone Link I get an error message that my device does not support it. Nice then, in 2018.
Finally, this: if you play an MP3, the screen will blink slightly. And not even in size. Fortunately, this was not noticeable while driving (but in my dark garage). Otherwise I would have sent it back after the short vacation. I can work with it now, but I really don't think this Garmin is worth its price. 399 would have been a more accurate price. I trust that they will improve a lot with future updates. Otherwise, this is my very last Garmin device. In short: Are you willing to invest in the Garmin quirks? So be prepared to invest a lot of time to find out how everything works, because it's not in the manual.
In addition, I also bought a Garmin tire sensor (via Garmin nl) and that is just such a drama. Was delivered with a half-full (unmarketable type) battery and often can't connect to that thing when the engine is stopped. Not even with a new battery. Just before I leave, I would like to know how the tires are.

If you want a device with which you can really do everything, this device is perfect. I like to read clearly from a large screen and that works great with this. The device is fast, solid, beautiful and has everything you are looking for in a navigation. The price is expensive but you really do get the Mercedes of the navigation devices. If you are not at all in the field of computer science, certainly do not buy, but that money for the entire zumo family. Go for a tomtom if you want no nonsense. Be sure to study the device on youtube before buying.

I like this one, but I've had problems with the same one before, such as often getting stuck
