I love my eInk displays, I love my bike head unit.

But I don't see how they both fit together honestly.

  The pros of eInk:
  - low energy usage -> don't matter, current GPS units have +30 hours of battery life already
  - low eye strain -> don't matter, you don't look at the screen for hours at a time
  - visibility -> don't matter, current GPS units adapt to ambient light
  - angle visibility -> don't matter, the screen is right in front of you

  The cons of eInk:
  - refresh rate -> yeah, I don't want the map display to be laggy
  - visibility in the dark -> tunnels, tree cover... I don't want to my GPS to be invisible
  - lack of color -> colors provide lots of information on the map display

Anyway, as long as you have fun doing this and some people enjoy it also, congrats!
