Tried out the difference between a Zumo and a Copilot phone app---
The Zumo is so faint and muffled to hear even with volume tuned up on directions through a Bluetooth helmet.
A phone is much better to hear on Bluetooth , the maps are pre loaded in the phone so don`t need data.
I find squinting at a gps screen in the sun is asking for a smash , and i can`t really adjust it while moving.
Best way for me is -- set up the route on the phone while having a pee break, put the phone in my jacket pocket with a power lead in to ciggy 12v socket.
It does not get hot in there , is waterproof, I won`t be tempted to fiddle or stare at it,it is very clear to hear , the maps are updated daily free.
Remember to remove the helmet when off the bike, as the phone still gives directions to a Mc Donalds while on foot! and you will look like a nurd!!
