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.</p> <p>The second was <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAp7oCB939c&amp;t=268s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A Real Mini Map from Need for Speed</a></strong>. 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.</p>
