I've been using a set of Bose Audio Sunglasses with Google Maps for directions when riding.

I can't see a map, but the audio queues are (usually) all I need for directions.

Basically, I like the idea of these sunglasses, but the information shown doesn't actually seem all that useful.

it's the same info you'd have on a cycling computer. If you're doing intervals you want to know your current power output/heart rate as well as your targets for those. Or maybe you're focusing on getting your cadence higher instead of grinding in lower gears. All of this stuff is worth showing to someone training for cycling. For a commuter, nah. I mean I guess it's cool to see your speed. This doesn't even look like it'll do turning queues the way a GPS enabled head unit will. But that's cool, since the only info you probably want without looking down at your head unit is what it offers.
