Uploading your own or other geospatial PDFs for use as a low power navigation device that is visible in daylight for easy visibility while driving.
With waterproofing it would be the ideal outdoor fishing, hiking, or camping companion. Other devices simply drain too much battery and are not waterproof. Since Paperwhite is now waterproof, they are one step closer to that ideal.
Others hack in and connect an external GPS, but the power gets drained quickly, plus its one other device to try and manage.
Soon, color Eink devices will do this and replace other GPS navigation device screens for in car use.
