Concept Moto Multi nav system takes cues from compass
click above for a image gallery of the Moto Nav concept
Today, on Vaporware Theatre, we present a spiffy-looking navigation system inspired by that other nav rig - the compass. Jeongmin Ok designed the Moto to reflect the sense of accuracy and dependability that some people take away from a compass, deviations from true north notwithstanding. Ok imagines that a 3.5" touchscreen will display typical navigation views of street data, as well as the compass-like mode.
The die-cast aluminum unit also integrates Bluetooth, a slot for microSD cards, and a camera. After all, when you're designing conceptual things, it's all too easy to pack the feature list. Still, it's a slick-looking gadget, and it would certainly make a spiffy additional distraction in the cabin.

it would be cool if this fit into a standard gauge pod... I have an extra 52mm gauge in my dash waiting for a nifty gadget to be invented to put there. I suppose there's not much you can display on a 2" screen though, but if it could be integrated with the main display of a separate unit it would be quite slick.

Maybe now that they've fitted that Roomba with nav, it won't keep getting stuck in the corner...Or it will escape to freedom, oh glorious freedom!
Interesting idea, too bad no one makes circular LCD or OLED screens. Time to think back INSIDE the box.
