Montreal-based CycleLabs Solutions designed SmartHalo, a bike-mounted GPS navigation device. The company hopes the simple, circular, hands-free GPS device will revolutionize how cyclists find their way around town.
The small, minimalistic, waterproof GPS navigation device pairs wirelessly via Bluetooth with the user’s smartphone. The company’s iOS and Android apps allow the user to plug in a destination and put their phone away. The apps then selects the fastest, most bike-friendly route.
SmartHalo guides the user to the location via simplistic signals for left, right and U-turns. The device lights up the left or right side of the circular GPS before the corresponding turn should be made in order to give the rider time to react.
