Having a fancy touch screen device on your bike brings the feeling of owning one of those extravagant new luxury vehicles.
Using the LocateMe app, I was able to transmit my location to people at home regarding where I was on the trail. The speaker phone was also very clear and useful to call others. Best of all, the touch screen proved to be a really nice interface that worked well even with gloves on.
While I mostly used it to display GPS location data, in due time, other sensors can be attached to perform logging of environmental conditions, health monitoring, even the physical bike characteristics like g-force measurements of the shock absorbers.
In the future, a simple bike ride in the woods will return with more than just muddy pedals and flat tires. It will carry experiential data too.
