Other than battery life, which is easily resolved with something like an ANKER, I have the same thoughts. I have a GPS receiver. I have a device capable of navigation, where I can access maps, etc..
Right now I use an iphone, I have a wahoo cadence sensor, etc...With the ANKER I get upwards of 15+ hours run time.
