Interesting little GPS for Scooters

Looks like it's not available in the US but seems like a good idea, it's basically a second screen for your smart phone with an APP.

Well....if I had a smart phone, which I don't, and if I had a scooter, which I don't, and if I needed a GPS, which I don't.......but if I did have a smart phone, and this TomTom was available in Arizona, wonder why this wouldn't work on an FJR, or ZX, or VFR, or any bike? Seems simple, compact and easy to use. At about $175 it may be an alternative to larger, more expensive units for the occasional use. Thanks for posting.

Being round it would look pretty cool mounted to the right of a Gen II instrument cluster....

Other than the top of the line big ones, I would think most scooters are used locally which assumes the rider should know his way around without the need for a GPS. Maybe most useful in a large city (as in the video) and with a new resident/rider?

But I had the same thought as you guys. If someone came up with a reasonably priced, water-proof, remote screen that could be connected to a smartphone for navigation I'd have to think that could put a hurtin' on some GPS sales. Not only for motorcycles but bicycles, ATVs, etc.
