I got tired of dealing with Indian Customs asking more than twice of what I already paid for a Beeline Moto2, and can’t afford to buy another one at the prices its available at these days (which is unreasonable for an Indian market IMO, where you can get a RE Tripper Pod for 5000 INR and get 60% of the functionality, or buy an old phone & permanently mount it to your bike for a MUCH better experience)
There are a few people trying to do something similar for an Indian market but none of them seem to be open source or have shown any signs commercial availability anytime soon.
So, I decided to get an ESP32S3 with a circular screen - total cost close to 3000, and designed an end to end system that relays navigation info while keeping the form factor EXTREMELY small (so it doesn’t look out of place on a bike, and can be made to look like a part of the bike with 3D Printing, which a phone mount will never be able to achieve)
I’m still struggling with navigation via OpenStreetMap since Google Maps wants money for everything and I’ll need even more money to build an actual iOS app since Apple would want a developer certificate to publish apps… Can anyone help with either of these next steps ?
