concept device: Velocity
May 9, 2009 bike gps, gps navigation
Have you been following the concept devices we feature here every now and then? If so you already know how we like to criticize them. Take this Velocity for example. It is supposed to be a GPS navigation system for bicycles.
The idea is that you download your routes from the internet, fit the device on your handlebar, and then get visual and audio route guidance. Here is our take on it: It looks like it is ready to snap in half, the translucent display is probably very fragile and almost impossible to read under direct sunlight, and how is this supposed to fit anywhere when you’re done with it? We do like the single hand operation though.

Hmm, Garmin Edge 605 and 705 have turn by turn navigation for the bike. I can see with a little bit of engineering, Garmin would have this feature in no time.
