And it did hit several amazing roads . Looking for something a little faster , I dialed back the sliders to the middle , and it offered me a nice hour-and-ahalf-long route through the mountains .
In order to take full advantage of the 595LM ’ s capabilities , you should also pair it to your smartphone and Bluetooth helmet headset . Pairing it to your phone allows you to get notifications , pick up calls , get real-time traffic and weather data and stream Pandora , Spotify or music stored on your phone . The 5-inch touchscreen works very well with gloves on , and it ’ s bright enough to see in all but the most direct , glaring sunlight , which is easily remedied by angling the unit up or down . Accessories include a tire pressure monitoring system and the VIRB action camera .
If you don ’ t mind a smaller screen and don ’ t need the music streaming capability , you can save a few hundred bucks and get the 4.3-inch zumo 395LM ($ 399.99 ). But as a full-featured motorcycle-specific GPS , the zumo 595LM ($ 699.99 ) is the top-of-the-line choice . – JENNY SMITH
