    I use my Nexus 6 with Google maps. It's been SO much better than any Garmin I've had in the past. Plan routes on the computer then send them to yourself and others.
    Hard to beat the voice control too.
    I'll never go back to a stand alone gps

    I have a tom tom, but I use a good old fashion road map when I "have" to.

    Default TOMTOM

    TOMTOM XL 350 w/ lifetime traffic & map edition (free map update 4 times a year). I have a dry box for rain and open mount for the rest of the time. Less than $150.00, I use them in my cars also and it gives great directions.

    Default What GPS do you have

    I have used my Garmin Zumo 665 for years. I've logged over 50K miles of Spyder trips since buying it. Although it's not perfect, it serves my purposes well, both on my Spyder and in my truck. I can manipulate it with my gloves on, it's waterproof, it gives me turn by turn audibles via Bluetooth if I want, the screen display and settings are customizable and it is capable of timely traffic alert info.

    I use a Samsung Tab A 8.0 tablet with Sygic GPS app. The screen is larger, the tablet cost less than $200, and I use it for web surfing and email when it's not on the Spyder! It's not waterproof but it has survived getting wet from rain while riding.

    Default GPS plus Maps

    About 8 years ago, I did my last cross country solo, using my Garmin 550 and a tank bag with maps folded in a waterproof cover on the tank bag. This allowed me to have an overall picture of where I was going without zooming in and out. Maps are also the backup system should one's GPS fail. And, on my first cross country solo, I had a complete failure of electrical accessories..at the end of my driveway....LOL So, I like to have a contingency plan.

    Anyway, I am trying to be patient while I wait for my new Garmin to arrive in a few days. Once installed i will try to give a report. Plans are to have this connected via Bluetooth with my phone, and Sena 10s in helmet, hopefully it will all work out.
