Arduino TFT Display for Motorcycle Riding Directions and Notes

Follow your own path while cycling with this cool project from clif_barnes shared shared on instructables. Happy Riding!

The intent of this project is to be an alternative to GPS directions when my wife and I are riding our Can Am Rykers (look up Can Am Ryker…they’re a blast!). At times, a GPS device can send you on a different path then desired when a destination/location is keyed in. Sometimes, I want to display my own directions and have quick & safe access to it while in motion. I use the GPS Garmin live map display in conjunction with the TFT Display / Directions. The “gotcha” is having a laptop/tablet with Arduino IDE close by to create and transfer directions…unless one plans ahead at home [which is what I do]. The Base Camp Application for the Garmin, which I find somewhat user-unfriendly (to be fair…it’s probably just me), also drove the need for this project.
