Today we announced the zūmo 390LM GPS
navigator – a stylish, rugged, sunlight readable and glove-friendly touchscreen
device that helps keep motorcyclists on track, on and off the road. Mounted on
the handlebars or in the car (motorcycle and car mounts included), the zūmo 390LM’s
design offers the flexibility riders want.
“In
addition to features like the Service History Log, lane assist with junction
view and TracBack, the zūmo 390LM adds improved Bluetooth functionality, new Curvy Roads feature and motorcyclists
can now monitor their tire pressure in real-time with the new Tire Pressure
Monitor Sensor (sold separately),” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of
worldwide sales. “It’s light-weight and easy to mount, includes lifetime map updates¹, and can handle the toughest weather
conditions².”
With the zūmo 390LM, Garmin has updated
its popular Motorcycle series to make it more than just another GPS navigator. zūmo 390LM features Bluetooth
wireless technology that allows riders to simply connect their zūmo with their
mobile phone and a Bluetooth-enabled headset or helmet (sold separately) to
make and receive calls on the go. With it, motorcyclists are free to talk on
their phones without having to remove their gloves or helmet. Riders can also
call points of interest through the zūmo Bluetooth interface, perfect for a
last-minute change of plans or a quick pit stop for food and fuel. zūmo 390LM can
transmit voice guided navigation to motorcyclists’ compatible headsets or
helmets (sold separately). Hearing street names and navigation commands lets riders
keep their focus on the road and truly enjoy the ride. To see the zūmo 390LM in action,

zūmo
390LM is the first in the motorcycle series from Garmin to be compatible with
the NEW integrated Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor3 (TPMS). Add a sensor for each tire and easily monitor the pressure
using the zūmo display. The system works with up to 4 tires in any
configuration. One TPMS sensor is required for each tire. Also, the Service History Log lets
cruising enthusiasts record the date, mileage and type of maintenance performed
on their motorcycles. Tire mileage, tire changes, tire pressure, chain
cleanings, oil changes, new spark plugs – almost anything you can think of, zūmo
will keep a record of it.
Whether
riding during a bright summer day or a moonless fall night, the zūmo 390LM has
motorcycle-friendly features any rider will appreciate. With its new Curvy
Roads feature, zūmo 390LM will allow riders to select and navigate routes on
winding roads to their destination—making each new trip a memorable experience.
Its large touchscreen color display is housed in a case that resists fuel
sprays and UV rays. The zūmo 390LM puts all the information you need in an
easy-to-read format as you travel down the road and features a glove-friendly
intuitive interface that makes entering information as easy as shifting gears. The
zūmo 390LM speaks street names and will deliver turn-by-turn, voice prompted
directions, such as “turn right on Route 66,” via the built-in speaker
headphone jack or through a compatible Bluetooth helmet or headset.
BaseCamp compatible, the zūmo 390LM makes
it easy for motorcyclists to plan their next ride. BaseCamp, a free software
program from Garmin, allows users to create routes and waypoints from their computer
and transfer them to the zūmo. After an open road or off the beaten path
adventure, send the ride to BaseCamp to share the adventure with friends and
relive the experience.
The zūmo 390LM offers you
the convenience of lifetime map updates (North
American and European version available), which provides up-to-date
mapping and current information about businesses like restaurants, ATMs,
hospitals and more. With the easy-to-use premium navigation search bar, zūmo
returns results for points of interest (POIs) as they are typed providing a
faster, more intuitive experience. There’s also a speed limit indicator, and Exit
Services that display gas stations, food and lodging, ATMs and rest areas for
upcoming exits. With the TracBack feature, riders can really let their minds be
free and ride wherever the road takes them, as it is now as easy as a button
push to navigate along that same route back to where the adventure started. zūmo
390LM also let’s riders, following a planned route, be in complete control as
they can now skip waypoints with a couple taps of the screen.
No more guessing which lane
motorcyclists need to be in to make an upcoming turn. Lane assist with junction
view guides riders to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making
unfamiliar intersections and exits easy to navigate and gives peace of mind. It
realistically displays road signs and junctions on the route along with arrows
that indicate the proper lane for navigation.
The new zūmo 390LM is available
immediately and will have a suggested retail price of $699.99. The zūmo
390LM will be available in North
American and European versions. The zūmo 390LM is the latest solution from Garmin’s consumer automotive
segment, the leading worldwide provider of portable navigation devices for
automobiles and motorcycles. From turn-by-turn navigation and fast and accurate
