I am waiting for a suitably small enough satellite speedo to hit the marketplace, while we are on the subject. The heck with cables, sensors and magnets.
I'm no fan of modern gadjets and computer whimmos but it was kind of cool watching what my el cheapo Garmin would do and keep track of. The biggest problem with gizmos like the Garmin is that it can be real distracting. Instead of checking out the scenery, you find yourself checking the miles ridden, speed, location, direction, etc.
I kinda prefer the analog speedo too. A couple of years back on my trip to CA. I used a speedometer/GPS app on my IPhone to guage my speed (the trip that toasted the orginal speedo while crossing the Mojave) on the road back home. Crossing the Texas panhandle the Iphone dispaly temporarily died from the heat (from broad sunlight & 95-100 deg temps). So when it comes to "satellite" or GPS outright replacement gadgets, I'll pass (seems any would be prone to similar failure from weather & etc.). Anyhoo, my issue is not with gauging my speed, but with logging miles on the odometer & getting it re-set to show the actual miles on the bike.
