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.
It is a TFT TN panel that is used, in direct sunlight it works well if you use one of the high contrast themes - e.g. White on Black or vice versa.
To get the original design working in the shape of the original clocks would probably require a smaller screen, and a redesigned enclosure and a rework of where all the internal components would fit. Have got a 5 inch version on the Horizon and this seems to be what other Manufacturers are going with in terms of screen size. Have thought about multiple circular displays but the complicated bit is then getting the Raspberry Pi to connect to multiple displays etc.. I'm sure it's possible but would a bit of R&D required.
Hope that helps!
