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?

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.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Dan,
Thanx for this post. I had forgotten about Kathleen. Quite a life story.
