Howard-
It is quite difficult but if you had the right tools for the job you could do it.
The problems we had were quite simple to fix; limited processing power and memory, a small battery and no dedicated network connection (we were using BLE to a phone to get access to the network).
If you address those then the problem is surmountable. But is there enough of a market to justify the investment in building such a product?

Hi all, every now and again I come on here and ask the same question just in case there's an answer yet... so, here's me asking the million dollar question for the millionth time...
Is there such a thing as a bicycle sat nav yet?
I want to be able to start from wherever I happen to be and just type in a postcode / address and then get taken there by the most direct (relatively bike-friendly) route with turn-by-turn navigation, like with a tomtom.
I don't need performance data but am happy to ignore it if it means I can live this dream.
I got slightly excited when the Garmin Touring came out, but apparently it takes you on time-consuming round-the-houses routes instead of direct routes that use bigger roads.
What are the options, if any?
Thanks in advance.
