[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1112004, member: 277"] It is expensive, but it may be a good information consolidation center using things you already have. The heart of their system is a smart phone and their app. One device, one display that can give you a GPS, gear indicator, speed, tach, travel and performance telemetry, has a track mode, MP3 player, phone (after all that is the heart of the system) and photo/video. The unit has an ambient light sensor so the display will be day/night compensated. Surprisingly, it doesn't matter if there is a face shield or not. I dunno what helmet buffeting would do to the display (Dramamine please). If this unit can make a GPS unnecessary it would be this $500 unit vs a $600-$700 Zumo and loss of some features with just a GPS. That app will have to be gosh darn good. I dunno what would happen if you accidentally dropped your helmet directly on the device. I dunno what would happen if you were to have a bird strike, every year I seem to bounce one or more birds off of me or my bike. This unit is a long way from having enough capitalization to move ahead and they are not the only players trying to get into this business. It sounds interesting, you buy one and let me know how it turns out [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
