I biked 20 miles in the country on Saturday with friends. We brought my visor along to help navigate rural roads that are too obscure for regular maps (we used mapopolis). This, however, looks infinitely cooler. Check it out!

this looks really cool, but i don't think i'd want to mount my PDA on a bike and end up having it sacrificed to the gods on my next crash, and a crash will definitely happen no matter how good a rider you are.

This looks really neat since I am in the same sort of boat but my question is can I use it and a GPS module at the same time?

Looks like you could use a GPS module as the sensor connects to the bottom port.

Hmmm... For a road bike, OK, but I'd expect maps to include all roads suitable for road bikes.

For a mountain bike? Not a chance for me. It'd be destroyed my first ride.
