It's not for using the cellphone function. It is usually because the rider wants live Google Maps display for directions in a complex road location (like traveling through a large city on a network of individual highways), or wants or needs visibility of, or even interaction with, a phone APP (like the HD Bluetooth tuner for performance gauges display or recording engine sensor live readings while using the HD "Smart Tune" functionality).

Do you travel on your bike? Do you lead groups of riders when traveling? Do you lead on back roads when traveling?

i use the GPS navigation function extensively when traveling on the motorcycle.
