That is an interesting idea. I still wouldn't want the distraction myself (rather just pull over, take out my phone, figure it out, and get back on the road). However, I'm a pretty new rider (about 1500 miles on the bike). More experienced riders very well might feel a lot different.

In a car, sure, I'll try to maximize efficiency and minimize stopping. On a bike, it's not going to ruin my day to pull over and take a 5 minute break to look at a map/phone. I'm not on a bike to be in a hurry, or even to hit a particular destination a lot of the time. I've used a GPS on a bike since the mid-late 90s. To me, the use case is completely different than in a car. I'm not driving a rental from the airport to the hotel, and I'm rarely trying to find something in a major city. On a bike the GPS is a nice-to-have tool. But it is not so essential that I'll spend a lot of money, or require it to be constantly displayed on my visor.
