I like it. Especially being able to "point" to the destination and then go off in any direction and get back on track.
Saves me looking at compass, shadows, position of sun and the green sides of trees.

Interesting concept, but I don't see the advantage over having my phone in a RAM Mount running Waze...

Really about the only thing I like about navigation while I'm moving is the voice commands. I like to look at the map before I move. That arrow looked pretty small.

I'm with Britman... your final destination is over yonder way, and it's this far away. I
like the idea... I bet it would be easy for someone to make a phone app that could
do it...

I think it is a spectacular concept. Easy to read. Simple display. Gives you the basic info you need, updated constantly. A simple glance in traffic is all you need to know you are on the right route or direction. Great idea for the motorcyclist in new and strange areas.

Waze is awesome, it has saved me hours in just a trip to the beach
If it could upload Waze in event of fubar traffic ahead I would consider it big time
My gps navigation in the Rogue sucks never sees traffic like Waze does

True. I think some would become over dependent and refer to the "arrow" far too frequently. |

Well, we don't have the luxury of HUDs on our bikes. The speedo and tach are "down" there. A simple directional aid is appropriate. |

I feel old and out of place too. Over the years I had cameras and radar detectors and found them a distraction. I had eye control focus on my camera and that had limited capabilities. Wouldn't want to be moving down the road at 70 mph.

Too much accuracy and efficiency would diminish my random wandering, and virtually eliminate my U-turns... Speaking of which, I led our group on two U-turns this very day! One was planned for, however, but still... just saying... DDT |

Always have a bag of maps, usually a cell phone, sometimes a Garmin gps that's been screaming for an update for 10 years. And then there's this:  |
