What's the progress on the android version for the GPS function? Cant find anything on play store.
I emailed Danny asking about the Android app, he said it's in the works and he hopes to have it out by July <fingers crossed>

Many thanks! With regards to the Map Data, it depends on the smartphone you will use. At the moment the iPhone app uses the Apple Maps service to get the directions and routing info, and as you travel along it will pass each step to the TFT Dash over the Bluetooth LE connection. If you're on an Android phone this will use the Google Maps service. Hi, I just got the notification for the dash software update with navigation, and boy am I excited! Looking at the upgrade info on your site, it says iPhone users need to download a TFT Nav app from App Store. Is the Android version available, or is it on the way? I couldn't find anything by that name in the Google Play Store. Thanks!

Hey Mike, just wanted to take this moment to say thanks for all the help and advice you gave me over on the FZ1OA forum. Not to mention your wholehearted endorsement of the TFT dash that DJDLTD is developing - that's what got me over to this forum in the first place.
Looks like you're already eased into the no-riding lifestyle, so I guess you're unlikely to get withdrawal symptoms. But hope you'll continue to drop by the forum(s) from time to time!

I'm thinking of ordering one. What would it cost including shipping to Singapore?
However, I would like to wait until the satnav features are implemented. Any idea when this might happen?
Thanks!!

You know best - you're the expert! And given what you've done with the dash so far, I have no doubt whatever you come up with for the mapping will be totally kickass  Would love to do it this way - unfortunately Apple quite heavily restrict what developers are allowed to do on an iPhone, so the iPhone version of the app will operate much like other Map apps do. Android phones are more open - The other issue is the Bluetooth connection, to mirror the phone's display would require a much higher speed connection (e.g. Wifi), The bluetooth connection can't handle as much data so the directional updates over bluetooth will be very specific updates, e.g. "In 3 Miles, Left Turn, Distance to Destination, Arrival Time, Traffic Delays, etc.." - it will be very similar to what KTM have done with their 'My Ride' app which essentially does the same thing with their latest TFT Dash.
The other way to do Navigation would have been to do everything on the TFT Dash, e.g. give it a GPS module and have all the maps loaded onto the device - essentially what TomTom and Garmin devices do - however going down this route will then involve getting hold of the raw map data, creating the satnav software, and also providing map updates as the data gets out of date - with that in mind the smart phone route will be the quickest and the actual navigational mapping will be done with already proven and tried technology. Hope that helps!

The Navigation app will be a specific app for the TFT Dash as it has to have knowledge of the Bluetooth connection to the TFT Dash. However it will operate much like Waze in that it will account for traffic and provide the best route much like Waze would do. If I'm not mistaken I think Google now own Waze, so I believe the underlying technology Waze uses is based on Google Maps which is what I am using in the Navigation app.
Wouldn't it perhaps be simpler to write an app that mirrors the phone screen onto the dash? That way people can use whatever navigation app they feel like, and you don't need to worry about maintaining the app on top of everything else. Just a thought.

this is shaping up nicely! toying with idea of ordering one! is there any chance of smartphone integration for google maps? I mean just mirroring smartphone screen would be enough. Don't care about calls text etc
Oh this would be SO awesome if it can happen...

Fantastic stuff! Not only a great idea, but real patience and perseverance to see it through. Bravo!
A few questions have popped up in my head over the last few days as I mulled over the idea of ordering one
- Is there (or do you plan to add) a drag mode? One that'll count down and then time you from 0 to 60 or 100?
- Can the the speedohealer be adjusted independently of the sprocket size? For instance based on GPS comparison, I might want to adjust the speedo down by 1.5% to show the true speed. Is this possible?
- Is there a way to bring the odometer up to the reading on my stock clocks, so it picks up from there? Or do I necessarily have to start from zero?
Thanks!

Not sure if you have mentioned this already... but I hope there's a way to change the displayed units from imperial to metric?

The firmware update capability is a great piece of future proofing, good on you! Now all we need is.... to be able to plug in a smart phone via USB, so you can get your maps & navigation on the big screen. No more worries about waterproofing the phone, or having it fly out of the holder at high speed  As promised (although a bit later than planned) - here's a pic of 'compact' unit. The one I've been running on my bike is my prototype with the rather large enclosure and bezel. This the redesigned enclosure which has now been assembled - components fitted in nicely. In addition to road testing my prototype really to nail down the accuracy of the MPG and Range displays, I'm also providing a mechanism by which these can receive software updates via USB. This now means any new features and potential software / firmware fixes will be available on the website, and all you'll have to do is download the update file onto a USB flash drive, insert into the provided USB slot on the TFT Dash and switch on your ignition. The flash drive will be detected and the update will be recognised and will automatically update both the software & firmware on the device. All you then have to do is remove the flash drive and switch ignition off.

My 2c for whatever it's worth
The user experience would be quite different between the all-in-one-box vs the display and electronics being mounted separately.
I would imagine most would have a strong preference, for either the sleek dash OR the lower hassle of an all-in-one module.
Personally I'm in the latter camp, but perhaps it's worth doing a straw poll to see which way the wind is blowing, before you devote your time & energy to a particular solution...?

Speaking of shipping... have you done the sums already? How much do you reckon one of these would cost, shipped to Hong Kong or Singapore?

That is some fantastic work! I actually registered on the forum just to check it out I am currently using the multi gauge made my grommet and schlumpf on the yamahafz1oa forum, and I especially love the fact that your design is completely plug & play
