The so-called "head-up display" is mounted on the glasses and displays various data in the rider's field of vision. This allows the biker or road user to continuously monitor the road and not have to look at the speedometer or a navigation system on the handlebars. Information about navigation, traffic conditions and also data from the Garmin Edge can be displayed. To make all this information available, the display must be connected to the Garmin Edge and a smartphone via Bluetooth. Messages and notifications from the smartphone can also be displayed. Garmin wants to evaluate data from a rear radar sensor to warn drivers of cars and trucks that are about to overtake them. As with Google Glass, the display is operated via a touchpad on the edge, which can be used to navigate to the various functions. The glasses attachment is waterproof, weighs 28.7 grams and, with a full battery charge, can maintain all functions for eight hours. The "Head up Display" will be available in spring and the price will be around 400 to 500 francs.
