I’ve been biking around nyc boroughs for over a decade now and I still follow directions from mapping apps!

I’ve found Apple Watch to be okay (they give instructions on directions via haptic feedback) and AirPods with spoken directions to be even better.

I wear glasses too, but for directions I think I’d prefer haptic and/or audio even if visual was an option just for safety purposes.

The one pain point I have found with biking directions is that sometimes the directions come way too late to be useful (maybe I bike too fast haha).
