Safety cameras & RDS-TMC

The zūmo comes pre-installed with a collection of safety cameras. When approaching a safety camera, the user is warned by a visual and audible signal. Of course it’s best to keep this safety camera database up-to-date. It works just like the 660, but it does require a paid subscription. RDS/TMC is also supported, but unfortunately the TMC antenna is not built-in, neither is it shipped with the unit. It is available as an option though. This is somewhat of a shame because adding this antenna will no doubt mean adding an extra (loose) cable to it. And that is something motorcyclists can do without…
