This is a bike computer, a navigation device for cyclists, made by MiTaC, the same company that makes the Mio bike computers.
However, I believe such a measure would likely shrink their profit margins, as consumers might no longer purchase new devices annually if existing models remained functional for ten years. It offers address navigation, GPX track import, and a special "Surprise Me" feature that creates random routes based on time or distance.
