For a conservative style of motorcycling where the experience of riding comes first, I find that a whole phone screen is too much, especially on open roads where a lot of details are not needed. Also, the vibration harm to the phone gyroscope crosses my mind. Some other minimalist solutions ready for sale still  involve a screen which i consider quite big and impossible to place close to the eyes. The device needs to be on the top of the windshield because this navigation style involves knowing how many Km or meter remains to the turn, so a little training is needed to become familiar with what 2km or 150m is. The reward is less clutter on the dashboard and especially the sense the freedom(most of the time the screen stays dark)…some motorcyclists prefer to use classic maps just to feel that freedom…. The best candidate I found is the Mi Band4 (or if you prefer newer with some modifications) paired with the NotifyMe app(so obviously you still need the smartphone…)…if you chose another MiBand series check to be compatible with the app. The battery last forever and you can use it as a watch when you left the motorcycle in the parking :)  The 3D printed MiBand holder proposed  should use UV and water-resistant filament, and the infill must be high (70%) for strength since te M3 screw stress a bit the components….please don't tight too much!. Ideally, a piece of rubber instead of the calibration spacer(green block) would be great. A M3x10 with a nut is also needed. Good luck, hope it will be useful.
