I bought an electric scooter earlier this week:

It's easily twice as fast as walking, so I get lost twice as fast
I'd like satnav while avoiding the phone mount (cumbersome & risk of breaking the phone). I've been searching for a few days if I could get the turn by turn instructions from my phone (because Bluetooth) and display them on a mini OLED display but I don't think I can do that.
So, the next best thing would be to print a bracket to permanently install a smartwatch on the handlebar:
So, here's when I need your advice.
Ideally, I'd look for a place on my computer or phone and ask Google maps to send the itinerary to my watch/scooter. Alternatively, I'd be ok with having to start the navigation on my phone and then have it displayed on the watch.
Internet connection (if need me) will be shared wirelessly by the phone. Phone is a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S on Android Oreo (MIUI 10).
So I think I want the smartwatch to run Android. Not sure I want it to run Android Wear
I don't have a shape preference but I want Google maps to be usable.
Budget is tight, used watch is welcome, which one would you choose?

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has this watch. I don't really need a smartwatch in general, but I wanted one for when I went skiing (didn't want to risk dropping my phone while on the lift, etc.). So, I was looking for an economic smartwatch that could text and take calls. The reviews seem positive, so I went ahead and ordered it from Sears.

One thing that I'm unclear about is, what kind of OS this watch has. It's not listed anywhere on the page. While I wait for it to arrive, I wanted to ask around here to see if anyone has experience with this watch and if anyone sees any possibility for us to hack and install alternative OS.
Thanks for reading,

looks like a java based operating system like many if not all of the cheap chinese non android os watches like my gv18 or the non android zgpax watches
looks like its running something called maui. I found out you can use the flashtools used on the dz09 watches to flash it but i need firmware for it.
I used Maui META to get this info about my watch. I wish I could install an android rom or something. my MTK chip is MT6260 it looks like.

Use Your Old Android As A Secondary Monitor
You know that old HP touchpad was a great tablet but it's just been sitting around for years now. You can't bring yourself to throw it away but what on Earth could you use it for?
Hi, my name Steve Shockmonster and I'm here to tell you how you can turn any old Android tablet into a secondary screen for your computer. By installing an app on both your pc and Android device, you can activate an extended display setup. This will allow you to move your open windows to your tablet by dragging it off screen.There are many practical uses for this feature and almost anyone would be able to take advantage of this.
So what app do you need to get this working? Well I've put together a list that will get you all setup.

Is there an app that you use that I haven't listed? Let me know in the comments!
I am really hoping someone here can help me.
Ive been into a sony shop to be met by blank faces and now today an o2 guru who i let keep my watch and phone for 5 hours also couldnt do it.
I have an s7 edge and a sony smartwatch 3, all im trying to do is put music on the watch so i can go running.
Ive read blogs and tutorials and none of it works, half of what they say to do doesnt even seem to be on my watch or phone!
I just need some hands on help.
My watch will connect to my phone thru android wear but when i look for it in play music i get nothing, no sync etc, when i look under manage authorised devices, there is nothing there.

i do indeed. that was one of the first things i turned on, but my device still doesnt show as an authorised device
Try this (if you didn't so already):
- restore the watch to factory settings
- on the S7E run the Android Wear app and pair the watch within that app. Don't use the phone Bluetooth app for pairing the watch!
Hello, I`ve had this head unit for a couple of years now, it reports it`s on Android 6.1 I believe.
I only have one problem with it, the GPS sometimes takes 10 minutes or more to lock on, sometimes less than a minute?, all the wiring is ok and once its locked in it will be fine (300 mile trips etc).
I think this has been a recent ish issue, can`t remember it doing it last year.
I have read quite a few threads, one mentions removing Google Play Services?, would this apply to mine even though it eventually finds the GPS location and then has no further trouble?. To be honest I do use the Play Store occasionally so would like to keep it if possible.
It takes 30 seconds to boot so presume it is doing a full cold boot every time, is there a program that will remember the last state of GPS to make it quicker to lock on or does it do this automatically anyway?.
We use Co-Pilot Sat Nav at the moment , but it doesn`t seem to matter which app.
Ideally I would like to keep it as a standalone unit, it connects to home WiFi but we don`t have WiFi on the move normally.
Any help appreciated.

Recently, I have used mutliple GPS programs to get my timeline up and running. Lets say you have Phone 1 and Tablet 2. Phone 1 is a LG G7, and Tablet 2 is Fire HD 10.
Phone 1 provides connection to Tablet 2 via BT, which operates the GPS server.
Phone 1 gets the timeline data stored, but Tablet 2 has a straight line through places I go.
I know that this is a Google problem, not a Fire problem, but this may be an answer you guys can maybe help me with?
The above picture shows the GPS data feeding from phone, NOT the tablet, and is being logged with another account linked to Phone 1.
Is there any app out there that can provide GPS signal from a phone WITHOUT being logged to Phone 1? I have tried numerous apps as I said earlier, all to no avail.
The GPS signal it provides is working on Tablet 2, but is not being logged on Timeline on Tablet 2.
Thanks
BM
