Excellent piece of kit ...10 stars
I bought this after a lot of searching on the web checking reviews ..as it's expensive and I needed to get it right...This is replacing my old TomTom V5 which is getting a bit tired now ..on opening the box first impressions of the unit it looked a sturdy piece of kit ...The Unit Cradle and wiring loom looked a bit daunting when I first opened the bag with 6 wires and I thought there would be a lot of head scratching but took me less than an hour with tea breaks to fit ...The 3 jack plugs I hid in the fairing as I won't use them the USB port I fed through to my seat compartment and will come in handy for a music loaded usb stick ..I had fitted the battery and did the instructed unit update prior..stuck the satnav in the cradle and booted up in seconds ....The maps are crisp and informative and worked great with gloves on ...what I love about this unit you can have it in landscape or portrait mode ...yet to find out what works best ...The added bonus with this satnav is that you can use it in your car and comes with all the fittings for that purpose now how good is that !! .I have Sena 10s Comms works great ..There's so many things I could ramble on about...check out the reviews they speak for themselves...Garmin have pushed the bar up... Happy Biking...Stay Safe

After years of using the 590LM, I find the 595 not really the revolutionary step forward, but a sturdy and trusty piece of machinery, built to last and work more than your bike. Never ending rains, unbearable sun could not affect in any way this little Sherman of navigators. Well done, Garmin!
Read moremy first sat nav
At 70 this is my first sat nav. I have found the Garmin Zumo 595 very easy to fit to my Harley V Rod, and just as easy to use. I would recomend this to every one. A fantastic product

Read moreBrilliant satnav
I personally went for the Garmin as I use their GPS products on my pushbike and have never had problems, so far, that can be said of the 595 Zumo. All the mounting systems are in the box, including a car one should you need it The screen size is just right and sits perfectly in the centre of the bars on the Tracer. Wiring up is simple with enough cabling to route where you need to. I have mine paired to my phone and headset inside my helmet...works perfect. No locking system so we dont leave it on the bike, but there's a YouTube clip on using a small padlock on the release button, bit fiddly. Nor had an issue with brightness and the Screen works gloves on no trouble its early days but very pleased. There's a USB socket in the cable loom for charging, nice touch.

Arrived well packaged and on time, the bike wiring harness was fitted in 20mins. Only given it 4☆ as I haven't had chance to use it properly due to lockdown. I don't foresee any problems as Garmin have a reputation for ruggedness & reliability.
Read moreExcellent - bad wiring harness
This sat nav has excellent features and is so accessible and easy to get used to. The only downside is the damn mount! The wiring harness that comes hard wired to it, has all of these extra bits for sound and USB charging, but they are so long if you aren't confident on chopping them all down are extremely long! I had to fit them all cable tied in a bunch behind my TFT dash (Tracer 900 GT). Other than that awesome strong bit of kit, comes with a car mount and a motorcycle RAM mount which is on the smaller side so you may need a larger one to fit your handle bars.
Read morePromising....
I upgraded to the 595 from a 12 year old zumo 550. There are a lot more features on the 595, and although I'm still learning about some of these, it looks promising. I'm not sure I really need all the connections that come with the bike mount which take up a lot of space, but time will tell. My only complaint at the moment is that it doesn't come with a carry case. That seems stingy considering the price of the unit.

See all Garmin products…Questions and Answers
will this product fit directly onto my 2014 Triumph Tiger 800 abs without having to purchase further mounting brackets. thannkyou
February 27, 2020Unfortunately as this is a universal product we are not able to advise on specific fitments and instructions. The product does come with a motorcycle mount and hardware however.
Senna Bluetooth headset in my helmet. Will it link up with the Garmin ?
June 5, 2019The Garmin and Sena will connect with no issues.
hi I have a 1998 triumph Trophy 1200 do you have a kit to mount a garmin sat-nav to my bike thanks
March 19, 2019Unfortunately we do not have a mounting kit for your Trophy, apologies. We would suggest asking the question on an online Triumph forum, as other Trophy owners must have encountered this issue.
Hi, I have a wired autocomm intercom on my BMWR1150RT....currently fitted with an ancient Garmin street pilot. The audio output is wired via a jack plug into the intercom. Does the 595 have a wired audio output which is compatible with the intercom system? Also - does the 595 have an internal speaker for use in a car or does it require a separate speaker ?
March 14, 2019Garmin have confirmed that this Sat-Nav is equipped with a wired audio output. The 595 does not have an internal speaker, but the car mount does.
I have a Triumph Bonneville America 2015, will this fit without additional kit?
March 7, 2019The motorcycle mount and hardware included with this Sat-Nav should be compatible with your Triumph Bonneville America 2015. An optional fork stem mount can be purchased if the location is preferred over handlebar fitment.
I have a Garmin Zumo 660 which is now US. Would the 595 be compatible with the cradle for the 660 . Many Thanks
February 26, 2019Unfortunately the Garmin 660 and the Garmin 595 use different mounts.
Does the USB attachment allow for charging of any usb powered device ?
February 25, 2019Unfortunately this is for input only.
Will the Zumo 595LM fit my Triumph Explorer 1200 XCa 2016 model (normal not TFT clocks)?
February 21, 2019The Zumo 595LM is supplied with a universal motorcycle mount and hardware, but we are not able to advise on specific model fitment, apologies. As long as you have space on the handlebars to fit the clamp, it should fit.
Will the fitting kit supplied work with my 2017 Bonneville T120?
December 18, 2018As long as you have space on your handlebars to fit the mount, this will work in your bike.
If I purchase the Zumo 595LM for my 2013 Hayabusa(Brembo) model, what fitting kit would I need and what kit would I need to permanently wire it to my battery. Thank You
July 10, 2018The wiring loom to connect the sat nav to the battery is supplied in the box. The only way that I can see to mount a sat nav would be by using a Ram Fork Stem Mount. This item will fit hollow fork stems that measure between 12-33mm. If your fork stem fits into this range then the Ram mount should fit.
Hi What extra parts would be needed to fit to a 954 fireblade? Thanks
July 5, 2018You will need the Ram Stem Mount kit, quick find number 157380. As long as the hole in your head stock is between 12-33mm this will allow you to mount your sat nav.
Hello I have a 550 Zumo and love the ability to play back audio books from Audible on it via the SD card and player. Is the 595 as capable of allowing playback of Audible audio books as the 550 is? Ian
May 14, 2018The Garmin Zumo 595LM, when connected to a smart phone, will play back all audio from the mobile phone including music, radio and audio books.
Will 590 zumo base be compatible with 595 lm
May 4, 2018The base is compatible.
Do I need to plug it into a computer before I can use it
February 21, 2018You do not have to, but it is always a good idea to register the device with Garmin and update the maps.
Hi, I have got a Kawasaki GTR1400 GT will the fitting kit (included with the sat nav) fit on my bike without having to make any additional purchase. Cheers
February 15, 2018You may be able to secure the included RAM mount onto the handlebars, where your clutch reservoir bolts/mount is positioned. You will be able to remove these bolts, place the RAM mount over the top and secure the included longer bolts in place. Alternatively, you can purchase a RAM Motorcycle Fork Stem Mount. This may be easier to fit.
I understand the Garmin 595 has European maps, but how easy is it if I am wanting to load maps of New Zealand and USA?
February 12, 2018For World Maps, you will have to log on to Garmin's website and purchase the required region. Garmin recommend that you download your chosen/purchased regions to an SD Card.
Hello, is the cover/case included in the package, as previous Zumo models? Thanks
January 31, 2018The Garmin Cover/Case is not included with the Zumo 595 and is sold separately.
Will the Zumo 595LM fit on an existing 660 cradle?
January 9, 2018Unfortunately the Zumo 595LM is not compatible with the 660 cradle.
Hi there, Is EU lifetime maps include Turkey? Which countries are included? Thanks
October 11, 2017If you click on the features tab and scroll down, it will show the list of countries that are included.
Hi there, what mounting kit comes with this Sat Nav. Is it a Ram Mount kit and if so does it include the clutch/brake adapter plate? Thanks, Kris
October 10, 2017A Garmin mount is supplied with the sat nav - a clutch/brake adapter plate is not included.
Hi, I have got a BMW R1200RS. will the fitting kit (included with the sat nav) fit on my bike without having to make any additional purchase. Cheers
February 28, 2017Unfortunately this would not fit with the standard mounts provided, there is no space on your BMW. You would need to purchase the Ram stem mount and remove the headstock stem cap. The Ram mount can be purchased from us, the quick find number is 157380
The motorcycle mount that comes with the zumo 595LM, does it clamp onto a rubber ball that is placed into the steering coloum? I know it as a RAM mount.
February 2, 2017The Garmin Zumo 595LM does not come with the stem mount, this would need to be purchased separately.
