Wed Sep 05 11:00:00 CEST 2007 Press Release
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - September 5, 2007... Ever since the introduction of BMW's original Motorrad Navigator several years ago, sales of maps to BMW riders have fallen dramatically. Subsequent generations of Navigator II, Navigator II Plus and Navigator III GPS systems further revolutionized long distance route finding for riders with their fast processing speed, fuel and water-resistant casing, and unique mounting cradle that enhanced portability as well as operation with gloved fingers. Now, BMW Motorrad has raised the benchmark in motorcycle navigation equipment yet again with the introduction of the BMW Zumo Navigator.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ - September 5, 2007... Ever since the introduction of BMW's
original Motorrad Navigator several years ago, sales of maps to BMW riders have
fallen dramatically. Subsequent generations of Navigator II, Navigator II Plus
and Navigator III GPS systems further revolutionized long distance route
finding for riders with their fast processing speed, fuel and water-resistant
casing, and unique mounting cradle that enhanced portability as well as
operation with gloved fingers. Now, BMW Motorrad has raised the benchmark in
motorcycle navigation equipment yet again with the introduction of the BMW Zumo
Navigator.
More compact and rugged than its predecessors, the BMW Zumo Navigator is packed
with preloaded maps, high-end navigation features and an ample display screen
to give riders the confidence to take the road less-traveled on their next trip.
Other key features of the new BMW Zumo Navigator include:
* Slick full black body design.
* Glove-friendly touch screen.
* Left hand controls, designed for motorcyclists.
* Special programming lock - limits reprogramming while in movement.
* BMW specific software.
* BMW Dealer database.
* Mounting base plate compatible with BMW mounting brackets.
* TMC - Traffic Receiver included with 3-month subscription.
* Custom BMW caps included - set of three designs.
* Water resistant, shockproof and specially designed for motorcycles.
* Vibration-tested and built with fuel-resistant plastics to withstand the
elements.
* Replaceable lithium ion rechargeable battery (included) for use off the bike
up to 5 hours.
* Bluetooth wireless technology for phone communication.
* MP-3 Player for storing music.
* Compass feature equivalent to Navigator III.
* Shock-resistant, sporty carrying case.
* High brightness, sunlight-readable, UV-resistant display screen.
* Motorcycle console for trip information, including fuel gauge to remind
riders to "fill up."
Slightly less expensive than its predecessors, the BMW Zumo Navigator is
available at authorized BMW motorcycle dealers at a manufacturers suggested
retail price of $969.00. Specially engineered by Garmin for BMW, it has many
proprietary features not available on standard Garmin Zumo systems, including a
3-year warranty.
