    Works great when I have cell coverage...

    I run an android phone (Nexus 4) so this works great when I have cell coverage, once I loose phone coverage then Google Maps drops out due to lack of data. I am going with a Garmin with bluetooth to the helmet headset I guess. Thanks for the suggestions.

    I have a Garmin and can't get it synced via Bluetooth to a headset, I have a Scala G4. If you Google this it's a common problem. The Zumo's will probably work but not the Nuvi's.

    Bluetooth A2DP required

    From my understanding Bluetooth A2DP is required for the GPS to synch with a headset. From what I have been able to find only the following models from Garmin have this technology:

    nuvi 765
    nuvi 775
    nuvi 785
    zumo 660
    zumo 665

    I may look at the Tom Tom units to see what models they offer with A2DP.
