[QUOTE="rayban, post: 372964, member: 3072"] As most of you older-timers know, I was a happy fan of the Garmin StreetPilot 2820. I had the optional XM atenna and got both XM radio and XM traffic for it and enjoyed it on long trips. I envied some of the features of the Zumo when it came out, but couldn't rationalize the loss I'd take selling my 2820 just to get a zumo when so many of the software features were too similar to be worth the cost of changing over. Well, some local San Diegan dirtbags have made that choice a little different now. I had the window smashed open on my car and the GPS, which I took off the dash and stored on the floorboard, was still seen and taken (only thing of value in that old 95 boat). So, now that I'm going to eventually replace it (no, not under warranty, out of pocket), I'll ask again... 1. for those of you only familiar with the Zumo, what do you dislike? 2. For the few of you out there that may have used both, can you speak to any software feature differences, besides the more-glove-friendly size of the on-screen buttons on the zumo? I'm leaning towards staying with the 2820 since I already have the mount and wiring all in place on the FJR and using the zumo in the car seems like it will cost me more $$$ to get a car kit, but if there is a BIG satisfaction difference, I suppose I still may go zumo and gain the ease-of-use-while-riding factor. Thanks in advance for your replies. Looking forward to the day when I'm cleared to ride again (weight loss surgery in Nov had complications that still have me parked)... Rayban [/QUOTE]
