Final Project Idea - Jerry

My final project idea is a new product for cyclists: GPS Goggles.  
The product will combine GPS, bluetooth, cellphone and video technologies integrated into a two part product; the processing/receiving dock that is mounted to the bicycle and a pair of goggles that acts as a viewing screen for the user.  The dock and the goggles are connected via bluetooth technology.
The product will allow the user to take advantage of GPS technology in the same way that most drivers can now but will  place the viewing screen (via the goggles) in the users point of view - so they do not need to take their eyes off the road to view map directions.  In addition to live tracking of position using GPS technology the goggles will allow the user to record 'favorite rides' using a small mounted video camera that will allow users to record positioning data and visual data that the user can then upload at a later date to share with other riders.
In addition the product will take advantage of existing GPS product technology that currently allows users to record time, distance, and speed information about each ride.
Other possible upgrades include web browsing if the phone can be connected to wireless or cellular networks or connect via bluetooth to other devices for sharing of data/routes.
