I am looking into using a spare Galaxy s5 with Osmand mapping app whilst on tour. I have a spare phone handy but the voice instructions are not loud enough when the phone is in the case ( a few quid off eBay)
Just also got for a fiver off eBay is one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262002213851?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT amazingly good bit of kit for a fiver and have tried it out strapped to the helmet and seems ideal
Could also serve to play music or podcasts etc on tour if you don't want to wear headphones.
Currently I use a Garmin 1000 and paper maps for navigation so all the above is a vague attempt to see how the S5 would replace that. My holy grail is screen with map and directions and decent voice controls!
(If you want a discussion about helmets or headphones feel free to start another thread!)
