This purpose-built navigation companion is designed to withstand the rigors of handlebar vibration, bumpy terrain, and extreme weather while offering riders enhanced tools for both on-road touring and track performance. Garmin's zūmo XT3 device is available in two sizes, featuring either a 4.7-inch or a six-inch high-resolution glove-friendly display. The models also boast a live lean angle gauge that allows motorcyclists to see real-time data on how far they have leaned into each turn, with ride summary information accessible after each journey through the Tread smartphone application. Built to meet military standards for drop resistance and carrying an IPX7 water-resistance rating, Garmin's advanced motorcycle-focused GPS equipment comes preloaded with both street maps and high-definition topographic maps, with the ability to download satellite imagery directly to the device.
