You can't really have both. A good gps for the bike will be too small and difficult to use while driving. Good gps systems for cars with touch screens start under $100. For the bike I love my Garmin 705 (check out my ride log below). If you get it with just the HR monitor and without the maps (I just downloaded a topo for all of New England for free) or cadence/speed sensor it can be had for around $400.
