I usually like to stop and get a cup of coffee every 4 hours or so on a long ride. I stop for 15 min and charge up my Galaxy S5 with the new usb 3 super charger (takes no time at all) / I also throw a quick charge on the SENA (it has no gauge but it ran for a 12 hour ride for me) This keeps me more awake and is much safer than not stopping. In the end I am riding the bike rather than driving the car to have fun (right). I may not get there quite as fast but I am safer. I usually ride faster on the bike than I would drive in the car. Once again this is safer because it keeps me engaged in the ride.

What I like is if I want listen to the bike radio / I still leave my Android GPS hooked up and get messages through the SENA in helmet speakers as needed. If I want music I listen to the phone music and get interruptions for GPS and phone.

Obviously I really like the system. You can still buy the older system for half price on Amazon I think. (I don't know why you would need the new version)
