I recently saw a pitch from a startup that have a gadget [1] designed to address exactly the problems you talk about and might be worth a look (disclaimer: I have no relationship with the company but I do cycle a lot and thought their product looked promising). The debate amongst the investors afterwards was interesting, once the startup had left the room. The investors who didn't cycle/motorbike were sceptical and couldn't understand why a mobile phone wasn't good enough for this whereas the investors who had some cycling experience were mostly positive about the product.

This looks really cool. Especially liked the compass mode.

That's very interesting. One of my current peeves is watching for the next turnoff with various GPS apps. I have to rotate my whole head down to see, since my phone is currently mounted to my motorcycle handlebars[1], and the turn icons are usually small and vague. The reality is that I want detailed maps for route planning and local exploration, but very simple maps for the actual navigation part.
