Waze (iPhone app) and Google Maps as a backup in case Waze decides to not connect to their routing servers for whatever reason.

Some people claim to use the Nav thats on the bike with great result's, i'm not one of them, i ride a 14 LTD, i always make sure i have my phone with me, at times it's fine. others, it sucks, Like not telling me to turn rt,or lft, at a corner, so i guess, and it starts to work, saying re-calculating, maybe i'm in the minority, i dunno, I like the Garmins the best,

I loved my Garmin Zumo. Right now I'm trying to get used to the HD Dash mounted unit that came with my Street Glide - I think that I prefer my old Garmin so far.

I am using Google maps on android but have been looking around. For the zumo users...how's the screen resolution on sunny days? The phone can get washed out pretty quickly...

Cheap Garmin from Wallymart...velcroed on my RK just above my bag on the windshield....works great, never have to leave my eyes on the road....plugged into my cigarette lighter for power...works great when not within a cell tower...
