This is definitely a solid state amp, and a cheap one though the GPS if far from cheap. Both the earbuds and the speaker are about 8 ohms, it's just that an earbud is so close to your ear drum, the same sound seems 5 times louder.
Not being a tube amp, I think I will chance it. I don't hear any distortion in either mode.
Most new GPS units have blue tooth. A BT headset would never fit under the full face race helmet I wear. Good helmets have to be snug. I can't even pull my helmet over my hearing aids without dislodging them (the bulk fits over the ear).
