![]() ![]() Since this was the only way to charge it initially (was not installing on a bike or car) and you need it plugged in for hours while it updates things, it felt odd to leave it open, especially with the screen telling me to close the door. I do not like how you have to leave the battery cover off to have it connected to a power source or your PC (the Mini USB connector is inside that area). I know years ago Norm Kern was extolling the virtues of the Zumos including that part. I was impressed with all the stuff included in the box both for the bike hookup and the car. In time I'll probably look at some bluetooth speakers in my helmet for listening to directions and maybe even some music (have never done this and would generally only want it during long boring slab rides, which I don't do often). Once I have it on a bike (spring) I'll really start to play. I see my internal memory is now 95% full, and I'll be getting a micro SD card to put into it. Played with it some on the weekend, got battery charged and the unit updated with latest maps and such. And I do my best to not get locked onto viewing it but only glance periodically, or pull over if I need to do more. And yes the aging eyes need all the help they can get. Thanks Marty, I do wear a hi-viz yellow jacket, but I do have my GPS mounted high and center, I usually have reflection from my head area on screen.
