    Smart Phone is what I use

    I too use my smart phone plugged into the bike's system with the 3.5mm plug and I use the dual power outlets in the same compartment to charge the phone while using. The navigation app will block music and give me directions to either my bluetooth helmet speakers or the bikes speaker system.

    Smart Phone works great. If you are listening to music and using gps on your smart phone, the gps mutes the music each time directions are given.

    Any questions regarding the above, just let me know.

    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.
