Abstract

An interactive route information transmitting and receiving device for two-wheel vehicle includes a route sensing unit, a microprocessor, a memory unit, and a wireless transceiver. The route sensing unit detects dynamic route coordinates of the two-wheel vehicle. The microprocessor receives the dynamic route coordinates detected by the route sensing unit and converts the dynamic route coordinates into route information. The memory unit stores the route information. The wireless transceiver is connected to the microprocessor for wirelessly transmitting the route information to other interactive devices and/or receiving route information transmitted by other interactive devices.
