It also comes with a Bluetooth headset and a helmet headset to be able to listen to the voice prompts.

The PDA motorcycle GPS system is a multi-purpose gadget that has Microsoft Office features to allow one to catch up on work, enough memory to store videos and music and has games and image storage capabilities.
