Got my 2730 in today. Any takers on the XM Receiver? $100 even + shipping.
Mine came with CN-NT 2008 and got a "courtesy" upgrade to CN-NT 2009. The service rep I talked with stated that this was not their policy and the upgrade was their choice. They may have been nice to me as I called with another problem. No big deal, I don't think there is much difference between 2008 and 2009.Screw RenoJohn. I ain't got $$$ for this.
So those of you who bought the $175 from Amazon, did it come with the 2009 mapping? Or a free courtesty upgrade to the 2009 maps?
Yup - the 2720 was a great unit that I used for several years. Even though it's the "old model", it still does some stuff the newer Zumo 550 *doesn't* do.These are good deals and good units. I'm running a 2720 I got from Amazon about 7 months ago and I use it everyday in the delivery work I do. Not one problem and I also use it on the bike and in my pickup. The 20 doesn't have the mp3 or XM which I do not use anyway. Was $179.00 new on Amazon. You can get 2730's refurbished as well that comes with a one year warrantee and 2009 maps installed for about $139. And the 09 maps are different than the 08 it came with. I deliver in alot of new subdivisions that weren't on the old map. Anyway you look at it I like it for the bike or anywhere else. Good find John. PM. <><
I'll look for a photo. I have had mine on so long I should have one around somewhere. There are a variety of ways to mount it. You can use a RAM ball mounted on the triple tree nut, or one of your handlebars. Or, as many do, you can use the stemstand that replaces the triple tree nut. To hold the GPS, you can go the expensive over-engineered route and use a Touratech GPS cradle, or the relatively cheap easy way and use the Garmin motorcycle kit. You should be able to find that kit for $25-30 IIRC. It includes the Garmin GPS mounting cradle and the power wire you will need.Anyone have a photo of this particular GPS mounted on there bike? I would love to see how it is mounted. I know the Zumo comes with a Motorcycle cradle so it seems like it would be easy to mount up. How does this one do? Also do you like it on your bike or are you mostly using it in your cage? I think this might change my mind over the zumo because of price alone.....
Well, the 550 has a lot of features the 2730 doesn't have (SD cards, plays audio files, Bluetooth), but if you don't need those features, it's not "better".Just how muuch better is a Zumo 550 over the 2730?
Must have? No. Convenient/fun? Yes. Bluetooth is nice. SD card and route swapping is nice. Runs on batteries so I can use it walking.Anything else that is a "must have" feature for motorcycles in the 550 but not in the 2730?
It is. So is the 550.Looks like the 2730 is generally waterproof.
I own and have used both extensively, along with the TomTom Rider unit, which I wholeheartedly do *not* recommend.Anybody have experience with both?
1.) depends on file size but your 750 is fair and figure 4meg per song so apro 200songs ....that is likey a bit conservative.A few questions for those of you who got the 2730.
1. How many songs can you get on it with the MP3. I think it has about 750mb of free memory.
(wish it took memory cards)
2. Can you pipe the music (XM or MP3) into something like the autocom? ...stereo sound?
3. Can you also simply plug earphones into it to get music w/ stereo sound?
4. Does the XM work well?
Thanks!!!
