Bluetooth Display for Motorcycles?

I’m a big believer that your cell phone should remain zipped into a pocket while riding. In the event of an accident you could wind up injured and far from your bike with the phone mounted on the handlebar and completely inaccessible.

I’ve always used an old Garmin 1300 (cheap on eBay) hardwired to switched power. But maps are old, not weatherproof, etc.

Has anyone tried one of those small weatherproof Bluetooth displays that can mirror the display on your phone for google maps, etc?

I haven’t tried one yet, but I probably will go to that if my Garmin Zumo XT ever dies. A number of guys on some of the motorcycle boards are trying them out with favorable results. They are cheap, waterproof, and as easy to use as the CarPlay in your automobile.
