What mapping software do you use with your reader? I noticed in your videos that you have to press the buttons to pan the map which does not seem very safe.
I don't own a motorbike, but your idea made me think about using eink on my pushbike. Unfortunately Onyx E43 looks like a failed attempt, YotaPhone is too premium and has the unnecessary regular second screen, could InkCase be the answer? Available from October apparently. |
Thanks
I'm using OsmAnd and it works but since it's not designed for e-ink (as all mapping software in the store) the user experience is not perfect. But the advantage of the having an e-ink screen on my bike outweighs this disadvantage. I hope that that some day an app developer dives in to this
I usually drive with the map(+track) zoomed out quite far and map centred, so I don't need to pan. But even panning is not a problem with the large screen and hardware buttons. I can keep my eyes on the road and just hit the button a couple of times.
Cheers, Vince
