"I used the Zumo 550 on a trip from Florida to Sturgis in AUG 2008. I paired my cell phone to the GPS and then paired the GPS to bluetooth earbuds (Sony/Erickson). This allowed me to listen to MP3 music while I crossed the country on my Harley. When GPS instructions came up, the music was halted, instructions were given, and then it resumed with my song. It was ultra convenient. I could also see on my GPS unit who was calling my cell phone. If I decided to answer the call my music would halt until the phone was disconnected. This was great too, but only works for a quick 'I'm here, be there by x time' type of call - not conducive to any lenghty conversations due to the road and motorcycle noise. This was the second best piece of equipment I used for the 5,000 mile motorcycle trip (of course my Road King is number one)."
