O'Neill Nav Jacket - No Trail Map Required

I've seen this one around and I'm just not sure about it. O'Neill is dropping a jacket with ultra-tech features.

It has a GPS unit equipped with speakers inside the hood and a display on the arm that delivers weather conditions, navigational guidance, speed route details and distance.

One cool thing it has is a buddy finder function, that'll help. The speed monitor idea is cool also. Navigation? Well, Killington can be hard to get around.

Here's what I'd like to know; Is this something snowboarders were asking for or O'Neill is dropping because the tech is out there?
