Hi AnTyx:

I comprehend what you are saying, and why you are saying it (Wyze provides current traffic information and also some other useful information), but the problem I have found with smartphones is that the actual display of roads on the smartphone screen is "too small" to easily comprehend with a quick look down at the device.

Contemporary smartphones have very high pixel resolution on small screens. The result of this is that the details portrayed (roads, features, and especially labels & text) appear smaller - in much finer detail - than on motorcycle GPS navigators. The motorcycle GPS navigators have lower resolution screens, this results in a 'bigger picture'. In other words, the depiction of a road that might be 0.4 mm wide on a smartphone will likely be 0.8 mm wide on a motorcycle GPS navigator.

The result of this is that it is much easier and much faster (meaning, less 'head down' time) to check progress & upcoming leg changes on a motorcycle GPS navigator than on a smartphone. This is particularly important for older riders (>45 years old) whose vision does not adapt as quickly from head's up infinity focus to head's down 70 cm focus.

Contemporary motorcycle GPS navigators can be paired with a data connection on a phone to fetch and display traffic problems. I acknowledge that Wyze probably does a better (more immediate) job at fetching traffic conditions than the navigators, but I have not found the difference to be meaningful except perhaps in the most dense urban environments.
