Nuvi 550 on a motorbike

[harley-noj]

Hi as anybody used the Nuvi 550 on a bike?
If so does it work with a helmet headset (bluetooth) or only with its internal speaker?
Had a look at a few sites on the net and got conflicting advice!
Thanks

I have one, and regularly use it Ram mounted on a Burgman 400 scooter.
It's rugged and waterproof, but alas it has no bluetooth and you won't hear the speaker either, so it has to be visual guidance only. There's no headphone socket either.
Battery life is good, I get about 6 hours on a charge, and as a 'Jack of all trades' GPS it is fine, it has five different selectable profiles (Car, Scooter, Bicycle, Walking and Marine) each of which will remember different settings. However for pure Motorcycle use you might be better off with a Zuma
