May be a good idea as a head-up display an fighter aeroplane in the sky.... .....

...but on a motorcycle on the road, you/we always need to keep our eyes on the road ahead, without any distractions!.... ....!

Riding/driving with the eyes glued on to the GPS map, or mobile phone screen, tracking progress, can be very dangerous!.... ....!

Constant visual and audible observation of the scene ahead, and all around, is the key to safe riding/driving!.... ....!

Its a novel idea, but I would be very wary of such a device fitted between my handlebars!

Paul....constantly watching out for in-attentive; "cage-drivers", with survival always on my mind!.... ....!

Exactly, I would never have that on my Motorcycle. It would only be a matter of time before it gave you a moments distraction and you could have a catastrophic shunt!

I agree with you both. When I am riding I like to keep my eyes on the road at all times with all the crazy drivers out there cutting you off and what not. I check my phone for messages and missed calls when stopped having a coffee. If the phone call is important they can leave a message and I will get back to them when my attention is not needed elswhere
