Speedometer Map

"Google maps make it easier to navigate" a guy driving the car says to himself. Meanwhile the guys driving the bike thinks, "The phone that I bought with so much expectations with considerable months of saving has to be kept out in the sun".

Think of a middle class guy saving and buying a phone for 60,000. If you are going for a trip, the battery will be gone, if it rains, need to bring a cover separately, it falls and breaks,or even worse someone might snatch the phone and run off(I am equally shocked when I heard it for the first time). Or I can connect my earless headphones and drive, but preferring to avoid such things and to be aware of traffic might be few people's preference.

What if?

There are digital meters in almost all vehicles. Google map can connect to the bike meter and show the basic things, straight, left/right, U-turn, and the most important of all Bridge/Service Road(B/S) (How many times I have suffered because of taking the other instead!) and the distance to destination.

Now my phone can be safe in my pocket, battery will withstand even for a long trip and I guess focusing on the meter at centre of the bike might be a bit more convenient compared to the phone kept on the side of the bike.

This approach might have some drawbacks, if you find something please leave in the comments. We will try to address it. Hopefully someone finds it interesting/necessary and implements in their new bike models.
