Just splashed out on a Garmin Zumo 220. Should be here in the next couple of days.

Now i'm not interested in using it with my phone to take calls when riding etc. But what I would like to do is listen to music and be able to hear the directions through a set of earphones / headphones.

Whats the easiest way to acheive this. I'd prefer a wireless solution so no wires trailing down and being plugged into the unit.

As i say not bothered about calls so dont really want to spend loads on a scala etc.

if it has bluetooth get a bluetooth earpeice or cheap bluetooth receiver and use normal earphones.

I use a receiver for my phone with sports over ear type in earphones as they tend to stay better and not fall out when i pull my lid on

Bluetooth ear pieces work but not that well 40mph+ becomes inaudible... get a kit for your lid or a lid wit one fitted already.

I bought something like this a couple of years ago. Still using it now with decent headphones.
