How much? I can't seem to find one. Seems to be $300 in the States which is pretty competitive.
It certainly looks interesting. From a quick skim of a few "hands on" articles I'd have the following potential concerns:
- the pre-production data screen looks poor from a typography point of view but it also looks unfinished, so hopefully it'll be more readable
- the mapping appears to be well up the richness end of the spectrum rather than the clarity end, which isn't my preference, but it is just that: a preference
- I'd be interested to know how well the interface is optimised for use with just the buttons rather than the touchscreen
Looks potentially very good, though. Having said that, your criteria (turn notification, readable map, auto map display) are well met by Garmin… the price is obviously poor battery life and clunky usability.
(On the subject of readable maps, I've been playing with custom styling Openfietsmap UK mapping for the Garmin and I've made it a lot clearer than Garmin's own styles. I'll make it available for download once I've finished tweaking it.)
