big fat nope... you take 10 sec and refresh it when you have service, download to your phone never worry about cell drop and its always new. As for the radar on my screen? 300 a year? No thanks
Obviously you live in and ride in populated areas. Get 50 miles from a town and see about cell service. Your solution does not work if your ride all over.
I live in East TN, much of the good roads through the mountains have ZERO cells service. Dragon being just one of many areas with Zero Cell Service. WV, NC, KY. TN and North GA have many areas with no cell service.
Seriously many areas of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakaota, Nebraska and so on have no cell service. Obviously you have not rode many of the remote areas of the USA which is where I choose to do most my trips.
Look at a cell coverage map some time, Verison, ATT, Sprint and so on have no coverage out west except near a city. Why would they put a cell tower in when there are towns with population 10, and its 40 miles to the next town with 25 people? Verizon has the best coverage and look at their map. White is no service.

ok I will try one more time to get you to understand, when you are in a place that you can download you put your music on your phone. You can put hours and hours on your phone and never run out of something new to listen too. And the next chance you get simply refresh your music and your good to go again. You can pick stations like 80s rock our pick a album you like and listen just like a CD. Then when you are tired of the the album simply refresh your music and pick something new... no need to stream live so no problem with ridding in the white areas... If I'm not explaining it correctly then I apologize. I have xm radio on my bike and in my truck and there is no way I would pay them what they charge for their services, I live in Montana and this is why I know it's the best way to get my music ... no reception here and the xm radio really cuts out all the time

$300 a year? You must have looked like a sucker to the sales person. I have 2 radios on XM....$17 a month for both. Way cheaper then eating up data and space on my cell phone.

so I looked like a sucker? You pay almost twice the amount, are most likely not getting the full service package and are stuck in only the two vehicles to be able to use it... it cuts out on you under almost anything you are under. If i use free wifi to refresh I never use data and streaming date might use 4gs a month if I use it really heavy. it doesn't even use much memory on my phone, for that matter I can put the data on a SD card in the phone... I'm sorry but xm radio is for sucker's... try and listen to a album on xm radio... I can listen to just about any full album I won't to. I can turn news on or off I can skip unlimited amounts of songs... try that on the XM radio? Lol yep i'm the sucker you bet. I'm done with this conversation there is no hope if you truly believe your getting a good deal from the B.S. XM radio

I'm with you. Have it on two vehicles, Last renewal I was able to get it for 76 dollars for 6 months.

I never saw you post about down loading it to my Phone, then using it. Why would I want to waist time and data to down load music to my Phone? Why would I want to use up my storage space on my phone for music? I have a very small data plan, on purpose.
I have an iPod for that, and I can blue tooth it to my bike if I want. When you talk about Cell, Most people think streaming music service. I have a little over 600 hours of music on my iPod. Why waist cell data to down load music.

Only an idiot would pay that price. I get ever thing for less than 110 a year. Traffic alone is worth that if you travel a lot. I put over 20K miles a year on my bike, so very well worth it.

Yeah, when I go visit family in Sneedville, TN and Big Stone Gap, Va that's one of the very reasons for XM. Cell service? What's that?

Let do the math here...I pay $17 dollars a month. You're paying how much for your national coverage cell service with unlimited data? Mine works off satellite so unless their is a huge mountain or tunnel in my direct line my signal doesn't drop out every time I go under a bridge or tree as you like to think. As for channels...I have well over 150 to choose from including NBL, NFL and NHL plus the weather/traffic channel which puts a moving map on a screen I can actually see while riding. And free public wifi...yeah we all know how that works and is reliable. And I don't have ear buds in my hears so I can also hear what is going on around me...little safety factor there.
