Motorcycle GPS or Smartphone?

There's an app for that.

But is it time to ditch your GPS and navigate with your smartphone?

More and more people are using the navigation features of their iPhone or Android smartphone and skipping the traditional GPS. There are tons of apps for mobile devices that work wonderfully for walking tours, sightseeing and, sometimes, automotive navigation. But it's a very different game when used on a motorcycle.
