The Zumo 550 does. Calls out instructions through the speakers.
I bought the Harley model cause Im a freak. But it's all good.
The music from the zumo hard drive also plays through the speakers.
I used a ram mount on the handlebars I like em better.
I have seen the one that goes into the back of the HK radio and displays on the screen. My opinion is it really is a POS given the price. It seemed difficult to read so I think that is a safety issue since you would need to take your eyes off the road a bit longer to see what it was telling you. A blackberry used as a GPS has much more functionality. The only pro for that system is that it is permanently installed. The zumo and others you have to take on and off the bike as you well know, that is their con. I use an old Lowrance I have had for about 6 years that is waterproof and has a large screen. If I were in the market for a new one I would be looking at the zumo.
Using the Zumo 550, it gives you the GPS and XM Radio for $600. If you add the XM and the GPS modules to your radio you will be well over $1200. Works good for me.
I use the Zumo 660. Great product and very good customer support. Mine came with a Ram-Mount for the bars and a simple plug-in allows you to hear the directions through the stereo. Nice big screen as well.
Zumo 660 here. Made my sturgis trip a no brainer getting there or getting home or finding stuff along the way. Plus I have 8gb of music sitting on the micro sd chip, so plenty of tunes! I have mine plugged into the AUX port on the radio.
ZUMO 550 mounted on the inner bat wing fairing using the mount Harley sells for their re-named version of the ZUMO. Identical units by the way. A $40 piece of plastic that looks good & works great. Aux audio output connected to the stock radio, I can play MP3 tunes & hear routing directions from the ZUMO through the fairing speakers.
Like a couple of the others, I have the Zumo 660. With a short cord, I can plug it into the HK aux, and hear everything through the sound system. I love the wide screen display and it has bluetooth. I just keep the cell phone on my belt or in the saddle bags. I don't make or take calls while moving, but I can at least see incoming calls, to see if it's a work emergency or something. The 660 comes with the Ram mount, plus another cradle for the pickup, so I can switch between vehicles.
