What are the "must haves" for a lot of riding?

MrTim. I've an iPhone5 which is carefully concealed inside a LifeProof case. I mention this because it's how I consult maps. The beauty of this arrangement is that LifeProof produces a handlebar mount as an accessory. You simply snap the phone case in and lock it and you're away. I have a 12V outlet on the other side of the bars so I can charge as I go along, particularly when I'm using GPS.

While I'm at it. I'm going to give LifeProof a plug. I bought my case a couple of years ago and it hasn't had the easiest of lives. The little rubber cover over the mute switch recently broke. I wrote to them asking if there was a replacement part. They asked for a photo then sent me a new case. Free. Great service

Even though the original was well out of warranty and I'd not asked for it. When it's on the bars and the cover for the charger is snapped shut it's pretty much bulletproof.
