Thanks for the link. I how just spent a cool hour browsing their multiple goodies, but unfortunately not what I am looking for, which is the old style LCD where characters are made up from dark grey bars on a light grey background.

Comme รงa!
I have one of those sitting on my desk right now, and it is the only type of display readable in bright sunlight.

Purchase an anti glare screen protector for your phone?
|
|

Tried it! I even bought a non-reflecting case, but it was a bust - it just glared enough to obscure the screen, although it did reduce the reflections.

Thanks for that - that is probably what I shall end up getting. If it can store and recall to the screen the trip distance, then I can use it as a fuel gauge - I know pretty accurately how far I can go on a full tank, as I have kept fuel/odometer records since I bought the thing. I would then just have to zero it on filling. It is likely that it would store it, as most of the cyclists I know ride somewhere, stop and eat/drink, and then cycle back. At least that particular machine doesn't clutter up the screen with cardiac data etc.

Too much ambient noise - exhaust, engine noise, wind noise, all while wearing a helmet, would make it inaudible. Wearing headphones would be an option, but they are very uncomfortable under a helmet, and tend to make other road sounds inaudible.

I suspect update time on these (typically appreciable fractions of a second) is way too slow for a realtime display.
|

This also may be useful for local trips. As for a dashboard I guess it will have to strap to your hand or arm unless Google is still selling their glasses.

I wonder if a privacy screen protector would help.

It's certainly worth a try - I'll check out if one is available for my Cat phone.

If you can find a suitable LCD with eg I2C or SPI connection (on eg Amazon), it's pretty trival to turn it into a Bluetooth-connected display with an Arduino Nano BLE (or similar). Depends whether you're a bit of a DIYer.

Nice idea - but well beyond my paygrade!

Do you bring your towel on each trip?

Of course - I am a hoopy frood!

You could look for e-ink devices running android. There are a few. E-ink is also perfectly visible in sunlight.

Thanks - I didn't realize e-ink displays had reached the phone market yet! Definitely worth checking out.
