Do you have a recommended visor mount speakerphone?
Or maybe (if it's loud enough) an earphone for driving?
I'm thinking it needs to be loud and clip easily
and charge easily over USB-C and maybe have two
bluetooth channels (phone calls & map routing).
Any suggestions?
well maybe not if you want bluetooth.
I was confused by visor mount and speakerphone. \
Do you already have a map in your radio?
Why do you say two bluetooth channels.
It's not like you can have a phone
conversation while the map is barking directions.
use the phone for verbal directions, in fact I turned off the sound of
the phone's directions becuase it kept saying things and that interfered
with the radio (let alone a phone conversation), and I just look at the phone's screen for directions. (My car radio will also give directions
but in 6 years I've never used it. Usually I just want the map.)
Any suggestions?
But they only have it for some cars. You don't say what make, model,
year, trim level your car is?
You might not even know, because the
radio doesn't indicate it until one is plugged in but will your car
accept an add-on CD-changer?

Aren't all the visor-mount speakerphones bluetooth?

It's a common apparatus where I'm just asking people for their experience.
I think you're conflating a newer car with a full digital instrument
cluster with navigation built in to an older car that doesn't have that.

What you're calling a "radio" isn't a radio - it's a full digital dashboard >system that often includes radios and navigation among many other things.
I don't have that.
I have a radio but I never use it and it's the button type that had been in >vehicles for a hundred years so there's no concept of a "map" on the radio.

Because the phone has two (or more?) bluetooth channels, that's why.
Haven't you been on the phone while Google Maps is speaking directions?
You can hear both at the same time, only the routing is hushed a lot.
It's not like you can have a phone
conversation while the map is barking directions.
Yes you can. One bluetooth channel has priority over the other channel. >Usually the phone, for example, has priority over the routing.
You hear both at the same time but one channel is greatly muted.>

What I think you're calling a "car radio" is a digital navigation system.
My radio is the old style with a knob to turn it on and twist for stations.
As for how people wish to route while driving, you prefer the visual, but >that's likely because it's coming from your digital navigation system.
I prefer the audio alone (my phone is usually blanked out while driving).

If you ask that question, it means you don't understand my question.
The speakerphone I'm seeking works on every car on the planet.
It will work on a bicycle. It will work on a boat. On the beach.
It will even work if you tape it to your arm while you hike.
It's just a bluetooth connection between the phone and the speakerphone.

accept an add-on CD-changer?
Let's stop here because what you're calling a "radio" is not a radio.
What you call a "radio is really a complete digital navigation system.
A radio has buttons and has been in cars since cars were invented.
What I want will work anywhere because it only needs the phone to be in
close proximity to the speakerphone - maybe about 30 feet or so.
The Android bluetooth talks to the speakerphone bluetooth.
The speakerphone has a better amplifier than does the Android phone.
I can google for them but I was hoping to get someone's experience here.
