Early Scout Display Tests

Here’s a selection of concept art for the Scout mapping computer. This was mostly to test some graphic design elements I was kicking around and see what they look like on the new display.

I’m very happy with the breadcrumbs and the general “crispness” of the display. I’m settling on the “Toner” map tiles for development. The simple, high-contrast looks real nice.

I plan to use OSM mapping data to create custom maps with information that is helpful to offgrid biking/hiking and other outdoor adventurers.

I’m omitting the “Boot Screen” – it isn’t necessary. I plan to display the last location on boot while waiting for GPS (which is quick).

Next on the todo list: hook up GPS and read data!
