On my Sturgis trip the 'other' leader had a droid for GPS use and it SUCKED. For one thing it cannot work unless you have a cell signal.

If the iphone requires a cell signal then it would make for a terrible GPS--- I barely had signal most of my trip--- where the Verizon guys did.

I'm beyond fed up with AT&T as the service for my iphone. I don't know how they can legally even cell these devices to be used for making actual phone calls....

Other problem I see with a phone app is trying to press buttons during riding---

For $40 I guess it's not that much of a risk-- but I wouldn't think of it as your main GPS for a bike----

Go with the Garmin Zumo--- never led us astray.:thumbup:

Phillipbj, do you have a bluetooth helmet or do you use something to get bluetooth in your helmet. I use my iphone when riding and have a GPS app that I really like and I too am able to make calls, answer calls, listen to tunes and still get voice directions from the GPS, but I have earbuds running from my helmet to my iphone. Wondering if there are some inexpensive alternatives.

I have a Nolan N103 helmet and the Nolan ncom Bluetooth kit. It fits into a dedicated recess in the helmet perfectly. It paired with my iPhone, no problem.
Expense is subjective, but I have about $550 in mine, which is dang expensive to me. But it has worked great so far.
One thing, I do not use my phone for tunes. I have an iPod connected by cable to my helmet. It is a iPod shuffle and I clip it onto my shirt or put it into my pocket. Music stops when I get a call. I hope the same thing happens when I get voice from the Navigon app. I haven’t checked that yet. Been raining in south GA.. Yea!

I’m normally not lucky, but I got mine yesterday. Thanks to Lamonster for the tip, timely I might add...

Has anyone tested the Navigon app with the Iphone and G4 Bluetooth? For example, does the Iphone ipod go into the background when Navigon speaks?

I'd eliminate my Garmin if the Iphone+Navigon+G4 would provide the same capabilities. With my Iphone in a cradle attached to my RAM mount, I could make calls (I know I can make calls via the Garmin but there is a problem getting stereo sound through the GPS)

Family and I were just in New York on vacation. Yea we took the car. Had too. My daughter's American Girl does'nt like motorcycles!
Anyway, I downloaded the Navigon for $29.99 but it took 6 hours over ethernet froma hotel room into Itunes. 1.47gb large.
worth the wait, but i didnt plan ahead.
