36 • December 1, 2014 • Powersports Business AFTERMARKET www.PowersportsBusiness.com the Android operating system, meaning the unit is capable of downloading apps from the Google Play store, many of which have been designed specifically for the Monterra. The Monterra also has an 8-megapixel camera, while the Montana features a 5-megapixel camera. "You can geotag. You can take a photo with it; it saves the location, share it with your buddy's unit, and he can navigate to where you took that photo. So you can share trips with people," Long said. This feature can be useful for showing fel- low hunters how to locate a hunting blind or tree stand, or for showing fellow snowmobilers where the best snow pack lies. "It's got a dual battery system, so not only does it do the battery pack, but under the bat- tery pack you can also power it with three AA batteries, too, if you wanted to. So you can really get some extended use out of it," Long said. "There are lots of ways to keep it going, so you don't get lost out there." The Montana comes in four different ver- sions — 600, 600t camo, 650 and 650t — start- ing at $469.99, while the Monterra retails for $649.99 and up. ZUMO Though the VIRB, Montana and Monterra are designed for any vehicle, Garmin's Zumo GPS units have been developed specifically with motorcyclists in mind. The Zumo 390LM was the first GPS Gar- min created for motorcycling. The most prom- inent feature that separates it and the premium Zumo 590LM from its automotive counter- parts is the Curvy Roads feature, which takes motorcyclists on the scenic routes they often desire. "I'm not from Minneapo- lis; this is my first time here. If I wanted to go for a ride, I could now just have it set me on Curvy Roads, and it will actually take you on the scenic route. It used to do just A to B, the quickest way possible, but you didn't get all the cool scenic views and stuff, and if you're on the bike, you want to see those things," Long said. "You can still set the parameters to say no gravel roads, no toll roads, but then you can still have it take you on the Curvy Roads." Both motorcycle-focused units are also glove-friendly, allowing riders to use it without removing their gloves. Both units also include a service history log, and they are compatible with Garmin's Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor. "It screws right into the valve stem; you just take the valve cap off. You can do up to four tires. You set a threshold of what you want to maintain pressure-wise, and if it drops below it, it will immediately alert you," Long said. "Even if it was 23.1 PSI, as soon as it hits 23.0, it's letting you know you need to get back up to the right pressure. It's just a safety feature. It's a good upsell. They're only $70 accessories; that's for one tire, and you can do up to four tires, if you have a side-by-side or a quad." Though the Zumo 390LM is full of motor- cycle-specific features, the 590LM delivers even more. The Zumo 590LM has a 5.0-inch screen, compared to the 390LM's 4.3-inch dis- play, and the 590LM's screen is sunlight-light readable and has dual-orientation, meaning it can be used horizontally or vertically. "It's the best screen we've had yet, so basically the brighter it is outside, the brighter the screen becomes, so it's much easier to see," Long said. "There was a market for third-party visors for a while there; you don't have to worry about any of that stuff anymore. The brighter the day is out- side, the brighter the screen is. Sunlight bounces through the pixels and makes it really bright." The 590LM also has smartphone connectiv- ity and a USB port to keep the phone charged while it's being used. "You can tune your phone to it and use your data plan, and you can get Doppler radar; you can get traffic information; you can get traffic cameras; you can stream music to it from your phone — your iTunes or your mp3 player; there's a Pandora app built into it. So lots of cool features that you can pull from your data plan from your phone," Long reported. The 590LM also has wireless capability that allows riders to share favorite routes wirelessly with other 590LM users. The Zumo 390LM has an MSRP of $599.99, while the Zumo 590LM retails for $899.99.
