I do take maps as a fallback , just in case ! I also wonder if a modern phone with sat nav app would be a good emergency substitute too,and worth taking.
The other thing the zumo can do if its your bag, is store music on a SD card, so you can listen to music as you ride.
I think its a good idea for long motorway stretches, but have not found a decent helmet speaker system yet to avoid wind noise drowning out the sound at 70 plus.At lower speeds , like in towns, mountains etc, I dont like the distraction !
