Although not the most elegant solution I like the idea of it, both from a batterylife standpoint, as well as a legibility perspective.
Building a custom solution with some microcontroller a gps module and a small E-Ink display sounds doable and like a fun project.
- carlosjobim 2y agoFor a small display, you might be interested in the Beeline products: https://beeline.co https://beeline.co I'm myself considering one of these.
- diggan 2y agoI'm looking at https://beeline.co/pages/beeline-cycling https://beeline.co/pages/beeline-cycling for example, but it isn't clear what display they're using, it looks like regular LCD, not even anti-glare? What's nice with e-Ink, is that it's highly visible even in strong sunlight (extra so when they've focused on anti-glare), while LCD even with anti-glare can be difficult to see.
- carlosjobim 2y agoWhile not e-Ink, I had the impression that the Beeline has more outdoors-suitable displays. From the Beeline Moto 2 specs: "Technology: Ultra bright IPS TFT with anti-reflective and hydrophobic coating" But e-Ink would be superior for outdoors readability. I was looking for a motorcycle navigator when I found the OP article.
