Anyone got one of these? I'm currently using my iphone which is a bit too big! Just wondering what the Zumo is like?
Yes and it's much better than a phone, fact you can operate with gloves on alone made it worth the switch for me. The twisty route thing works quite well too
If you compare Aldi's spec: https://www.aldi.co.uk/garmin-zumo-340lm-motorbike-sat-nav/p/069229010220100 With this: Garmin ZUMO 340LM CE "Central Europe" with Lifetime update - Motorcycle/car - GPS devices - Navigation | Touratech Ltd Looks like Aldi's is the base of the base model. No speed limit indicator and specifically "western" Europe as opposed to Central Europe. Does this mean that if you want to ride to the Balkans with the Aldi one your stuffed? Or do you have to pay to add extra maps? Nearly ordered one but if it means you can't travel east of Berlin and it doesn't tell you where the speed limits are I think I'd rather pay the extra £75.
Oh rubbish. Didn't see the bit about speed limits not bothered about maps. Seems a con to have the same product code with different features. Hoping maybe typo on Aldi part otherwise itll be going back
Aldi description also says bettery life upto 1 hour but Garmin site says 7 hours. So this is either an aldi special super cheap edition or somebody has made a mess of specs.
can't imagine Garmin make more than one type. Mine came from Sportsbike Shop, lifetime maps, all maps will have speed limits (its core functionality) but they may not have speed cameras. No idea if mine has, and not too bothered
It does seem unlikely to make multiple hardware versions but if the speed limits is a licensed feature from cyclops therefore by not activating a software feature this can reduce the cost or Aldi. Pure speculation. My car definitely "knows" speed limits to support eco driving features as it tells me to lift off before a change in speed limit but i think i would have to pay £120 for it to show me on screen.
sorry, but no one would ever sell a satnav with no limits in there displayed on screen, its core functionality, and without limits it can never actually calculate how long a journey will take. it just may not make lots of other calculations for eco etc as you say. Although mine does
Of course all sat navs have the road speed to be able to calculate the journey time, but displaying the speed limit live is generally an added feature that many manufacturers feel is worth charging for.
just checked, I have a 390LM Garmin Sat-Nav - Zumo 390LM - FREE UK DELIVERY still think this is great value though :thumbsup:
