This is a very excited development! This will launch in Germany first and we hope to eventually see it make its way here to the US. The problem is we don’t have the same cell service reliability as Germany so it’s difficult to offer the same garuntee.
My Piaggio wi-bike had it and it worked great. But it got recalled. If I just bumped the bike in the garage I got a cell phone message that my bike was being stolen
I use the Sherlock GPS and except for frequency of recharge it works well. I purchased,two unfortunately the small Nevo 43cm bike’s handlebar inter diameter is too small, so I now have a backup for the standard Nevo.
If you have a GPS receiver that can latch on to many different GPS satellite systems (American GPS, Russian Glonass, Chinese Beidou & European Galileo) as well as use a Barometric Pressure sensor to estimate elevation it =should= be way more accurate inbetween skyscrapers, etc.You know when you see the cell phone company commercials and they are super proud of their network, but there are huge areas that aren’t covered. I mean if you live in a very developed area it shouldn’t be an issue, but many people don’t. Then there are cities like NYC where you have super tall buildings. These devices can’t determine elevation, in theory you could use this in conjunction with a Bluetooth connection to more accurately determine the location, but it’s not something I would bet my money on. I certainly wish I could though and I’m trying hard to figure this out. I’ll be keeping a close eye on these developments in the meanwhile.
