Do you link up with GPS on these, and what do you recommend when linking up to a phone attached to the bike to use the GPS visually and auditory(sp)?
PlugUp is a small business and these things are made by hand. I do believe they can attach the S-plug tips to a bluetooth headset that you supply... depends on the headset. The electronics can't be in the earbuds for obvious reasons. They show something like this on their website, but the information is dated. Drop them a line.

I use this, clipped to my backpack harness or jacket. Nothing unique about it... it's just a simple Bluetooth receiver.

iPhone is in a cradle on the top triple. For commuting I have podcasts running in the background, and Waze in the foreground. I have the Waze audio set for alerts only.

When going on rides where I need directions, I prefer the display on the CoPilot app. So in those situations I'm running three things at once... CoPilot for nav (in the foreground), Waze for police warnings (background audio) and my podcast app.

When just riding around, sometimes I just wear earplugs... or I'll just have podcast audio with no display.

Copilot safety view....
