A while back, we posted something about cruising Amsterdam's streets with a PSP transportable vehicle. While that is just a PSP-themed vehicle, here's a PSP-equipped wheeler. It's not just any kind of PSP too, because this baby is upgraded with a tech-savvy on-the-road helper.

Being the inventive Japanese that they are, PSP GadgetZ got busy with their latest toy-mod. They snapped a GPS-enabled PSP onto a Ram Mount and attached it on to the bars of a bike. After all, in Japan, they've got lots of side streets and alleys, and sometimes your car wouldn't fit through them. So, if you want to cruise around town and look for some MGS: Portable Ops recruits, maybe it'd be easier to get through the tight areas by just pedalling away instead of taking your car...

Well, finally a somewhat good use of the PSP outside. I fear though that it will be pretty useless in average outdoor light.



Nice idea though...

As people have stated above, that PSP is history if the bike crashes, and it probably WILL crash when the peddler is squinting due to the glare on the PSP to see where they are going.

Does anybody knows if this GPS receiver works in Europe? I mean...If I import the japaneese version of it (since its the only one available) will I be able to have maps for Europe?



Also is there software provided by sony? how do you get the maps?
