Controlled via an app on your smartphone, the Beeline uses a small screen that displays directions only, not a map (just like in a video game). Designed for classic motorbikes that would look odd with a big screen attached to it.
Pros: It looks great and is a simple, yet effective option.
Cons: The simplicity of the design means you won't get any traffic updates or a view of the map.
