I was looking around for some GPS equipment for my motorcycle and came across some dirt cheap (in comparison) cycling computers with GPS tracking. This got me wondering, has anyone tried it? Since I don’t need nor want all that fancy stuff like tracking, consumption, points of interest, etc, and just want a map, a route and something to show the way, would that be a good idea?

    I did, I think calimoto is great. The issue is that my phone gets really hot and it deteriorates the battery really fast - not to mention the issues I may have with the camera and vibrations.

    Maybe the solution will be to buy a cheap phone as my GPS instead…

      I use FitoTrack (FOSS, on F-droid) but I also get poor battery life. My best solution unfortunately is to just carry a power bank with me.
