If you live stream from you're limited to cell service, if you save it on your phone, you're limited by space.... Personally I paid for a radio on my bike and I like to use it. Love the fact I can pull up that weather map and actually see it while going down the road on the HD radio.

You've posted this in a couple places. Cell phone reception sucks in more than a few places and cannot be depended on for a good chunk of cross country rides. Your "solution" is pretty much exactly the reason I put an XM module into my bike.

Exactly. In much of the Smokey Mountains, Appalachia, and the western States Cell service is only in town.

Except that Cell service sucks or is non-existent up in the Mountains of East TN, West NC and WV. Good luck with Cell service out west in NB, SD, ND, MT, WY and so on. If you actually ride, and leave the coast and cities you will find out Cell service is far from being every where.
