Garmin zumo 390lm EU motorcycle navigation device (10.9 cm (4.3 inch) TFT display, WQVGA, 480 x 272 pixels, SD card slot) (optional)

Customer Review

I have the 390lm allowed to test times now and tested it to another newcomer, the Blaupunkt Moto Pilot.

In principle, this is much better than the Moto Pilot, but there are also some drawbacks.

Winding road, the main function of why you would change any of the 660 and Co,
makes sense and also to be called Great. Here I could no real difference to the Moto Pilot
recognize.

Only a maximum of 2 BT devices are connected. A headset must be connected to eg his phone
connect. So shortly after unpacking everything set up is only possible if the motorcycle helmet in space.
But that's so saw no problem. Even after switching off, all devices are now "bound" automatically found and connected in particular. That's not the case with Moto Pilot.

The Navi is quite slow. Although one must relativize the. The level of detail can be adjusted in 3 steps. Standard is the medium resolution. in high resolution depending on the area the presentation to be quite slow, and in the medium setting is
just fine. With high resolution, however, it is far too slow, at least on a motorbike.

Speed ​​camera data and so are unlike the Blaupunkt Paid.
The possibility that one is warned by a warning signal even at regular speed limits, although present, but extremely annoying. At Blaupunkt you could set a tolerance to eg warn only at 110,115,120 etc. The 390lm has this option is not what annoys permanently when times comes to eg 105 instead of allowed 100 km / h when accelerating or short in the curve according to the GPS.

The operation is quite easily by hand, also have some useful features while touring ride available to skip waypoints, cancel, etc. Here you can only configure a maximum of 2 buttons. More, however, would also be cluttered with small representation. It is also constantly displayed a "cockpit" is displayed on the speed, etc, and this is also configurable in appearance, however, makes this "bar", the route display even smaller. Can completely remove you these bars do not unfortunately. That is, I find highly disturbing. The Navi has Prnzip at a tour trip an awful lot and also good features, such as displaying the next junction / turn. Which should position the route / waypoints only in text form, and so on. But to the most necessary to limit, therefore, only one arrow with a maximum possible removal and even a small speed warning is practically impossible. This function is simple, but unfortunately virtually unusable by the respective map double-clicks, because you're out of this section of 0.5-1 sq vermiutlich, also moves very quickly, and the display of the current position does not follow. Here Garmin could rectify strongly with ease.

But big plus are the APPS ... board computer, service list, unit converter, calculator, unit converter ... Routennachverfolgung, routing, alarm, remote control for CAM, etc .. Kampass some things are unnecessary, but nice2have. But I do not necessarily
a mile gallon can convert with the GPS, etc., also need the Navi Do not Wake ideally. There is also a fuel gauge available, the calculation is based on KM. If you with a full tank always comes to the same KM number, the tool is certainly interesting, but if the Navi me now says, I have to refuel, or my fuel gauge, I think even gimmick ..

The PC software is not very successful, but only on the basis that you can make no real route planning on the PC, without having connected the Navi. Various maps are probably only available for purchase for the software, or they are downloaded from Navi. These cards are then only available as long as the navigation device is connected ... Also is not possible, the simultaneous use of Navi itself and PC software. The Navi switches are in the Storage or SYNC mode once the PC
is started or the software. Strangers routes I have not imported, but I think, as with other, you will get here anyway problems due to the option "Winding road" only one track is probably useful, instead imported route points. But I also know this problem when Blaupunkt.

The voice message is average. Although the quality seems good, but the announcements are often more than annoying. Compared to the Blaupunkt what was annoying already, or my AutoNavi be made here twice as many announcements. They allow you to get used to, but if the Navi BT channel also keeps open 5-10 seconds after an announcement, then with the way listening to the radio is not just a great deal. Unless you're on the highway traveling from Hamburg to Munich, you can therefore switch off the radio eigendlich, especially when, instead of 100 times 103 runs after the announcement, when the radio is turned back on, etc. One could say a matter of attitude, but unfortunately nothing is set here.

The connection of a mobile phone is very well done. The Navi receives from the entire mobile phone directory, which makes the operation quite comfortable. Unfortunately, only the hands-free option is possible. Use the MP3 player of the handset is not available
not possible. Presumably, you have to decide between mobile and BT mp3 player / iPhone / iPad is here.

Negative is each time not only the risk phrase, but in addition to need to confirm the EULA .. that goes quickly out of hand, but since one of this clicking sound can not disable what press for being built on the display, which is quite annoying , This confirmation can only click off entirely with Lausprecher and the announcements of Navis. Configure the key tones etc are therefore not possible, in other words.

The Navi has a GPS simulator. This is great to simulate a route, but which is not to speed up time-lapse. Inside buildings so continues the last or the home base / Park location.

The redirection feature of Navis does not really work properly. In a brief full closure of the track in front of me, although I have tried everything possible to drive around the track section in front of me, but it has not really done anything.
A direct reversal does not seem to know the Navi. It has as I see it, at least in the next 500m is still a possibility to enter to block in order to convince the Navi thereof which is locked the route. The Blaupunkt Beginning depending very humble, but you could declare the track right in front of the disabled, and the Moto pilot calculated a different route. Although the 390lm also calculates a new route, but only 500m further a new road will be taken into account. So bad for Moppedfahrer that are directly in front of a street sign with a motorcycle is shown with a red border, which seems not to be quite as rare now.
So for the residents of streets that are wondering why the bikes stop, then 5 minutes soäter still go through: Complains you at the Naviherstellern, or let the crap with the road closures ;-)

The included active support is more cheap than good. As well with other Garmin devices of 5V converter is not plugged into the active cradle itself, what I have preferred at Blaupunkt, but is to be mounted separately somewhere on the motorcycle. The cables are all long enough, but the active support consists of only slightly plastic, with an attached cable with a screw. As protection from splashes serves an inexpensive rubber cap that needs to be awkward every time removed or placed. Customers will also be recovered from the manufacturer of the RAM mount. The holder of the bike (Active holder) has a different diameter of the holder, as the passive car holder with suction cup. Suction Cup Mount
the motorcycle and active support costs so again a good charge.

The biggest mistake I have ever found is the stability of the operating system. One reads here and there what even happened several times on the day of support. This I also have the pleasure to discover. But not in normal operation, but especially when editing and creating a route. Most middle of it, the device without warning turns off, and the changes made are of course lost. Also, the system seems to hang like times. In target inputs it every now and then takes a long time until an appropriate location has been selected.

My personal conclusion: In my mind an absolute average unit, with plenty of unnecessary bells and whistles, and a lot of potential for improvement of the representation of the actual practical use. Basically, you get the same for> 100 less, it is then but no Garmin plan but TOMTOM or Blaupunkt.
