Anyone using an Iphone for GPS? I just downloaded an app called Co Pilot ($35) - seems to work pretty well, although text to speech is not fully developed yet but upgrades are on the way.

Im currently using a tank bag with Shark 100w speakers mounted on the handlebars.

The app is $35 but what is the added monthly iphone useage costs?

Honestly I would never consider an iphone; but, Im curious as to how much more slavery I might be willing to buy into...?

They do a 100W and 250w. I went with the 100W ($60) which works for my me. Got the amp under the seat straight to batery.

I wanted something to listen to internet radio (Pandora), Ipod music,phone and GPS.
Uses the GPS this weekend - it has a ways to go before it's up to snuff. Extra charges include live traffic ($20 year)but nothing extra for the just the GPS side of things.


250 watts! Motorcycle / yacht 2 speakers + amplifier + radio pkg

AT&T's coverage is crap therefore I would not count on the iPhone for GPS functionality.

Any chance for some pics of the speakers on the handle bars and the amp set up under the seat?

Just mulling over possible "upgrades" when I get 1) a new Rocket, or 2) decide to keep mine and make it "better".

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Dennis,

Not the best pics but they give you an idea. Running straigh off the battery with inline fuse. Amp is sitting next to the battery. Haven't had any problems (2000 miles or so) and some high temps in Southern California http://www.r3owners.net/attachment....stc=1&d=1256532952&stc=1&d=1256532952recently.
