    also you can buy a cigarette lighter power source from china that has wiring kit to go to battery to charge mobiles and gps but not suitable to lite cigs. dirt cheap.

    I use metroview on the Iphone It is about $15.00 free map updates and works well just get a cheep usb or lighter plug and a usb adaptor to keep it charged as the gps is hard in the phone battery.
    Usually just have the phone in the pocket and listen to the directions. You can also get brackets to mount on the handle bars if you want.

    Should be plenty of cheapos on ebay.

    Even brand new basic ones are fairly cheap as most newer cars would have inbuilt GPS as standard these days.
