One for the ride on top of tank bag with north up paper and one super cheap Garmin in reserve. Hellova lot cheaper, fraction of the total zoot Moto Entertainment Center things. Now do same with iPhone. Cheapest refurbished iPhone with space for offline maps and will take whatever system Scenic needs.
Never yet lost any of them to rain, bucketing all day, horrible roads, theft, tank bag goes where I go. Any fool who needs a totally obsolete device can have it.
My actual iPhone with communication, music, etc. never leaves its case in double strap leg bag. Unthinkable.

North up paper and Silva since mid 1950s are reference standards here.
