That the GPS would landed sooner or later in the world of skiing was clear, but recently Briko has launched a ski mask  housing a GPS kit with color display which seems to be science fiction to the modes of use of GPS in other fields.

The innovative mask Veloce - the name given to the new product Briko, and he understands the reason - is produced in collaboration with the Canadian Recon Instruments, GPS kit is designed housing with MOD Micro widescreen LCD display that allows color to record the track of the road or ski slope, and "show" some basic information such as speed, distance, altitude, stopwatch, temperature, rate of climb.
At the end of the day you can download the GPS data inside the mask Briko via USB connection, so you can (re) see the ski runs on your computer through a dedicated software. It will also be possible to analyze their data and make some curious inquiries ski jumps (time in the air, drop height)!

The Mask Briko Fast is also compatible with the version developed by the GPS PRO Recon: MOD Live kit. This adds to the above features the ability to view in real time the path you are driving (like a GPS for your car!), Highlighting the location of friends who wear the same device. This MOD Kit also have a video camera positioned in HD on the side of the mask, to film all the changes in the snow. And to keep in touch with those who remained in the city, the kit can be connected to Live Mode smartphone, which you can scroll through the phone book with the remote controller.

We hope that the kit will evolve further in the coming days so as to indicate the way forward on track to reach a certain point.

Do not forget the "base" of this mask lenses are famous Thrama Brown Metal Silver in color and treatment "fog" (lens coating that prevents fogging).
The retail price of the mask will be 125 euros, in line with other proposals Briko alta.Il-end GPS system is sold separately from the mask Fast, and users can buy it directly from the producer from Recon Instruments  for 240 Euro (360 Euro for the MOD Live version).
