That's pretty sweet. I doubt I'll ever get that "plugged in" for a long time, but I can definitely see how it might be nice to have something like that. I'm still into maps, getting lost, asking strangers for directions and taking the unplanned path--and that's all just on my commute. :P
My conversation above 20MPH.
Me to myself: is that ringing I hear? Oh! The phone is displaying a an incoming call, from...Home...Hello? What?! Just a minute I have to pull over someplace...I said just minute I have to pull over someplace...Ok what now? Say that again a truck just went by...Ok let me get a pen and something to write on...Hold on I have to take my gloves off. You want what? Babe, Babe I'm on the bike I cant pick that stuff up. I'll be home in a couple of hours. Ok see you then.
Incoming calls? No. I ride to get away from that shit.
Moving map / GPS. I can see that being useful, although you need a 3g signal to use Google maps.
I got the same thing for carrying my GPS on my stich
