Garmin zūmo® 396 LMT-S

High-performance GPS guidance for your two-wheeled adventures

Garmin's zumo 396 LMT-S portable motorcycle navigator makes it easy to find your way nearly anywhere, avoid delays, keep up with your incoming texts and calls, and more, all while maintaining your sense of adventure on the open road. It offers free lifetime traffic and weather updates via smartphone app to keep you current with conditions along your route, while built-in Wi-Fi® makes the lifetime map updates easy to download, so you'll always be on top of road and destination changes.

Glove-friendly touchscreen

You'll see a 4.3" color touchscreen in a rugged waterproof housing that's easy to follow in sunlight. It comes with detailed maps of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and more, plus millions of preloaded points of interest. You can also upload your own favorite stops and create custom routes for favorite adventures. Easy Route Shaping lets you add a point on the map to adjust your route, so you can ride through preferred areas or follow specific roads. Trip planner and trip log features help you record your journeys and plan for future rides.

Leading the way with accuracy

You don't want to chance a last-second lane change for upcoming turns, so let Garmin's lane assist with junction view keep you on the right course. You'll also see realistic views of complicated interchanges — including highway signs — to help you get your bearings. And the zumo will let you know what accommodations and services are right by the nearest exit up ahead. Garmin's TracBack routing takes you back to your starting point along the exact same route you traveled, so you can revisit favorite spots.

Easy-to-follow directions

As with most Garmin navigators, you'll get text-to-speech voice prompts at turns, so you'll hear "turn left on Eagle Drive," instead of "take the next left." Garmin's Real Directions give you turn-by-turn directions using recognizable landmarks, buildings, and traffic lights, which can make upcoming maneuvers even more intuitive. Garmin Direct Access directions direct you to specific points within complex destinations, such as malls, airports, and campuses.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Adding map updates to your portable navigator used to be a pain, but this zumo's built-in Wi-Fi automatically downloads map updates from Garmin as soon as they're available without cables, USB drives, or memory cards. Just log the zumo onto a secure Wi-Fi network and it'll let you know when there's a new map update ready. Download the update and move on to the next stop of your journey.

Smartphone Link

You can pair the zumo 396 LMT-S with your iPhone or Android smartphone to take advantage of Garmin's Smartphone Link app, which allows the two devices to share information, such as saved and recently found locations, where you parked, and your current destination. You can also subscribe to dynamic services from Garmin for more road-friendly content like free traffic updates and weather reports. For an additional fee, you can add traffic camera locations, dynamic off-street parking locations, and detailed weather reports with in-depth forecasts and severe weather warnings.

Works with your Bluetooth headset or helmet

Bluetooth wireless technology connects with your Bluetooth enabled headset or helmet so you can hear the navigator's spoken directions over road noise. And if your helmet or headset's paired with a compatible phone, you can use the zumo 396 LMT-S to place and receive calls without touching your phone. You'll be able to call up destinations like hotels or restaurants from the road to make reservations without stopping.

Smartphone notifications

Worried you might miss an important text or call while you're breezing along? When you pair select smartphones with the zumo via Bluetooth, you'll be able to see incoming texts, calls, and other alerts right on the navigator's screen. In some cases, the navigator will even read the alert aloud to you so you don't even have to take your eyes off the road. You'll need the Smartphone Link app on your phone to enjoy this service.

Routing for the adventurous

The experts at Garmin know how the exhilaration of taking a particularly curvy section of road can really solidify your relationship with your motorcycle, so they've developed Adventurous Routing options to guide you through routes which let you really hug the terrain. Simply adjust your preferences for hills and curves, and the zumo will take care of the rest. It'll even help you avoid major highways if you prefer to take the scenic route whenever possible.

Rider alerts

The zumo 396 LMT-S provides alerts for sharp curves ahead, speed changes, railroad and animal crossings, school zones, and more. You'll also get a heads-up when you need to check state helmet laws, or when you're about to head the wrong way down a one-way street. The zumo 396 LMT-S will even point out nearby red light and speed cameras in select areas. And it can even recommend a pit stop when you've been driving for too long without a break.

 Know what's happening with your bike

A built-in digital fuel gauge keeps you aware of how much you've got left in the tank. You'll even get fuel stop alerts to prompt you when you're due to top off the tank and a list of nearby gas stations. The speed limit indicator can help you stay on the right side of the law. The included Service History Log lets you record date, mileage, and performed maintenance on your bike's tires, chain, oil, spark plugs, and more.

Jam out on your rides

If you've got a newer iPhone or iPod touch, you can pair with the zumo 396 LMT-S to control your digital tunes and hear them through your Bluetooth helmet or headset. You can also connect your portable music player through the zumo mount's USB port and enjoy your tunes through the navigator. Or you can add MP3s directly to the zumo and play them as you ride. The zumo's built-in music player's controls can appear right on your map screen for convenience. If your iPhone or select Android device has the Pandora app, you can pull up your favorite songs or stations and control them on the zumo's screen through a Bluetooth connection with your phone.

Get others involved

Got a worried spouse or partner at home? Garmin's LiveTrack feature (available through the Smartphone Link app) lets others track your location in real time, so they'll know you're safe when out on a ride. The Incident Detection feature automatically sends a text to a chosen contact in your phone in case it determines you've been involved in an accident. And if you're part of an extended riding group, you can send GPX files of routes to your zumo from your phone, or share your own favorite routes with other motorcycle enthusiasts.
