What kind of GPS do you have????

[finless]

Garmin 775T that I got on Ebay for $90.

It has traffic which I like.

It is also one of the few car GPS' that will work Bluetooth to your helmet like the Zumo. Many will not.

I have 3 ways I can connect it to the Spyder.
1) It will broadcast on FM so if I set to a dead channel on the Spyder radio, I can set the GPS to broadcast on that channel.
2) Bluetooth to the helmet.
3) Made a audio cord and ran it to the built in GPS connector to the radio.

Video on how to do it.

iPhone with TomTom app

In the end, I decided to use my iPhone. I have bluetooth speakers in my helmet, so my music and directions come from the same device (that I already own and would have with me, anyway).

Waze is the best traffic app that I've found, with the only drawback being the need for an internet connection.

Google maps will let you download maps for 30 days if you don't have internet (the GPS always works), but it looks tedious.

I use my iPhone 6 with the TomTom app that cost me $29. Nice thing with Tom Tom app and iPhone is the pat you use none of your data plan. The app downloads all of the maps when you purchase the app and the iOS devices mostly come with a GPS sensor that does not rely on cellular. Add bluetooth to my helmet and I'm very satisfied. Total cost, without phone, was about $50
