Project Inspiration

This project grew out of a couple of interesting projects I came across on YouTube.

The first was Offline Map Viewer with ESP32 and Round Display. The combination of an ESP32, a round display, and offline map data immediately caught my attention. It provided the inspiration for exploring what I could do with the ESP32-P4 and its 800 × 800 round touchscreen.

The second was A Real Mini Map from Need for Speed. This project demonstrated a very different application of a small map display, but the idea of having a compact, dedicated map that dynamically represents position was particularly interesting.
