[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1367054, member: 87479"] Siri worked fine for me with Nolan n-com and with the 595lm as a hub (with or without). I think iPhone is really all most will ever need for even distance riding. I had difficulty seeing the screen when it was sunny, but I got by just fine. The deal killer for me was when both my phones upgraded to iPhone 7, and I could no longer wake the phone with gloves. There is no physical home button and pilots gloves (that work with iPhone screens) won't wake a 7 up. Upside is they went water resistant. I've used a couple of different onboard maps programs on iPhone that negated the need for cellular service. Co-pilot worked great but there are others. I have had time to evaluate a nice motorcycle gps vs my longstanding iPhone setup for navs. I always have two different iPhones from different carriers. They've worked pretty well. The garmin is definitely better. It's like a huge touchscreen display like you'd find in a modern car, that handles everything from comms to nav to music. But given the price, I'm not sure the garmin does enough more or enough better. [/QUOTE]
