Is the 5-inch TFT display of the Chetak 3502 TecPac useful or just a gimmick?

The Bajaj Chetak 3502 TecPac also gets a 5-inch TFT display that is becoming quite common in premium scooters and motorcycles. Apart from turn by turn navigation, this display also provides call and message notification as well as music control. Some scooter riders love the added convenience of connectivity, while others think such features are unnecessary on a scooter and are even distracting. But the debate stretches to whether these high tech features are worth the scooter's premium price, and whether they really provide any value to the riding experience. Then there's the issue of the durability, and long term functionality of these electronic components in different weather conditions, and in the life time of the vehicle.
