It makes sense to wire this up to your gps and have it projected on your visor using a HUD, even have road signs highlighted in real time. Augmented reality is the future. Soon we will render all control over to our computers do we can sit back and have more time to worry about stuff.

I remember them saying that 40 years ago, by the new millennium all our work would be done by computers and we would all have more leisure time.

like that worked out

this is a good bit of kit - cant comment on the gps side but the heads up display is very useable and not as intrusive as you would think - price is too steep at the moment but am sure it will down

so, just pay £1500 to an unknown Russian company for an unfinished product and away you go, or they go!!

Now, a little experiment for those over 35, put a piece of typed paper in front of your eyes the same distance away as your visor. What can you read, shag all right?

That's called presbyopia. From the age of about 20 onwards the ability of your eye to change focus from far to near (accommodation) deteriorates, eventually to the point you need reading glasses. because we normally read at 30cm+ that doesn't generally become a problem until you are in your 40s, but the nearer the object, the worse the problem, and it gets worse the older you get.

Optically that could probably be overcome by using bifocal or varifocal glasses with a stronger than standard reading portion and projecting the image toward the bottom of the visor, but that may introduce a whole fresh set of problems which they don't appear to have thought about, not least of which is the amount of reading add that would be needed to focus that close.

What's wrong with a map?

At least from time to time you can get lost or ask directions, talk to people, get invited for food, accommodation or even weddings...

10€ for a map and memories for the rest of your life vs 1500€ piece of equipment to worry about...
