Trying to navigate in a foreign country can be hard enough at the best of times, but on a bike it's not like you can just ask the passenger "which way next" nor keep a street atlas open on your lap! So... I have invested in a bike GPS - a Garmin Zumo 550. Fully waterproof and with all the main finger controls on the left - perfect for mounting above the main instrument cluster. Powered from the bike and plugged into the bike's coms system - I'll even hear the turn by turn directions in my helmet. And just to top it all - my iPhone even bluetooths with it, so I can make phone calls whilst riding. NOTE TO OFFICE: That does not mean you can call me everyday :-)
