Does anyone have this gps?
Does it really show you how much fuel you have left in your tank?

No, you just tell it you can go 200 miles, then you just reset it like a tripometer when you fill up. The useless part of it is, I can get anywhere from 130 to 260 miles on a tank depending on my mood.

It works great . . . I have mine set to a very "conservative" setting . . I know when it goes on to start "thinking" about fuel and collecting alternatives. . when my "LOW FUEL" light comes on I do something about it.

I actually have four fuel indications . .

mileage counter on the Zumo
visual on the Zumo
Trip #2 (#1 is the total for the current)
Visual from the fuel light.

Hehehehe . . I still come dangerously close . . . but I hate putting an EFI system through fuel exhaustion.

My method is pretty low tech. I know on the highway I will get to 170 or a little past before the fuel light comes on. At 150 (on the trip meter) I know to start looking. Pretty simple. I do have the Zumo, but with the inconsistency of the Uly's mileage, I don't find the fuel function very useful.
