I have been using the Rider 550 for the past 3 months and I really like it. It is clear, accurate and has an amazing amount if functionalyty built into it.
The ability to create Thrill Routes works very well and produces great results.
The interface needs some getting used to and I might have built the menus diffrenetly (if it was up to me) but it is not a significant negative.
Blutooth and WIFI work well and the cloud functionality is impressive. It is very easy to plan a route on your mobile or dektop and dynch it to the unit. Uploading gpx files from other apps is semless as well. Update are a breeze, as everything is done through WIFI. No need for manual file uploads, memory cards or anything of the sort.
Usage is easy with a sharp screen, whihc is sensitive to the touch. I have no issues operating the unit with or witout gloves, no matter the thickness.
Package includes all required hardware to attach the unit to the motorcycle. The RAM Mount is very high quality and is probably a $50-$75 value by itself.
And then, there is the price. It is amazing. It you time your purchase right, it is half priced compared to the latest Zumo. It might not be as sharp and the screen is a bit smaller, but for 50%-75% of the cost it is a much better value.
I would recommend the TomTom Rider 550 without hesitation.

Convenient & glove friendly.
Getting it setup took some time and much trial and error. The difficulty was getting it to pair with both my phone, and my Sena helmet intercom/camera. The fault might have been the intercom/camera, or the GPS. I am not sure which it was, but I tried the instructions for both, eventually resorting to online videos. Apparently the sequencing was the issue, and I tried several before I got it right, but once I did, everything worked well.The screen responds well to a gloved finger, but one needs to be careful, since the screen is small, the icons are fairly close together, so it is easy to touch the wrong one.In addition to the included mount, I needed to use a RAM fork stem ball mount, to mount it to my 2008 Honda VFR800.Edit: This unit died on me twice. the first time, I thought it might have been the power cable, as I was not using the USB cable that came with it, but a shorter one i had laying around. I changed both the cable and the USB plug that fits a cigarette lighter socket attached to the steering head, and it worked after being shut down for several hours.It died a second time. The screen would go blank, then the TomTom logo would appear, then the screen would go blank again. I disconnected the power cord, and let sit for several minutes, and when reconnected, it continued the cycling between blank screen and TomTom logo.I have not given up!I really like this unit, and I have two other TomTom GPSs that have served me well in my cars.I have returned the first unit, and ordered a second one. I will update on how that one works.
