Hello rrufff, Yep ... these are the types of applications that are becoming possible because of the "off the shelf" application development environment. If you think about it, it's simple to connect a GPS to a PC via serial or USB connection. And the software for this type of application has been around for years ... with all of the maps and "directions" software. I have some friends who looked at the Palm for this type of application, but they could never get a GPS working ... and the storage requirements were too great. They have been looking at WinCE, but again storage is an issue ... But a wearable can easily provide these capabilities ... Scott C. Lemon
