[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1367231, member: 6354"] The Garmin screens work with gloves. I have an ancient StreetPilot 2820 that I still use as everything but a music player. (I don't listen to music on the bike. My helmet speakers are good for voice but not for music, and besides, as a musician, I find it distracting, taking my attention from the riding. I can't hear music without [I]listening.[/I]) I can voice dial a contact or digits. The Garmin shows me the caller ID. Basically, the phone thinks the Garmin is the headset, and my headset thinks the Garmin is the phone. Added advantage, the phone can stay in my jacket pocket, in the top case, or plugged into the charger I have under the seat. I can only imagine how much better integrated a modern GPS would be! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] Instead of fighting so hard to find something that gives you non-touch access to Android apps, you ought to seriously look at a real GPS. You'll get true routing capability, by which I mean the ability to enter a start point that isn't "here." A Garmin can store several routes and let you select from them to navigate. You can build the routes on a full-size screen in the air conditioning (or heating) of your home or hotel and transfer it to the device. Since you can route from any start point rather than just your current location, you can plan day trips you might use when you get where you're going, and have them already set up and stored. And your gloves will work the touch screen. [/QUOTE]
