2015 GSA Zumo 590 or BMW NAV?

[Farzad the barber]

Hi,
I prefer listening to direction than looking at the GPS, also getting old and reading is a little tricky now
I use the 550 on my old GS and it works great. But need to figure out how to do it on my new bike!
Have a Baehr Verso XL communication system that is wired to the bike and its not a Bluetooth unit, the Zumo has a audio jack that I could wire it to the Baehr but I have to change the cradle on the bike, the BMW cradle comes with the bike and I can't use the BMW controls after I use the zumo ..... if I buy the BMW Nav then I have to buy a Baehr Bluetooth adapter ($310+shipping ) for the communication system to listen to the GPS and it won't be working good on music according to Baehr!. Question is: which one should I buy?
Thanks.

I love the BMW Nav V. With the handlebar integration it is just awesome. The bike app is also only on the Nav V and is a must have, giving you multiple views of all your riding metrics, present and past. Also the wheel only works on a Nav V.

I have the Zumo 590.......... There is no 3.5mm line out like there is on the 550. So the only way to connect it, is by bluetooth.............. Which is a pain to be honest. Not sure about the Nav 5 though.
