Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Using the Pico board with the Waveshare 2.8" display  and the Waveshare Pico GPS  it is possible to make Geoff's boat computer plug and play.

Pico compatible code
BoatComputerV6.zip
Changes to Geoff's code are minimal to match the Pico with one small but important functional change which is to accept GNRMC as well as GPRMC

OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP10,GP11,GP12
OPTION AUTORUN ON
OPTION LCDPANEL ST7789_320, RLANDSCAPE,GP8,GP15,GP9,GP13
OPTION TOUCH GP16,GP17

Probably the same setup would run Geoff's Super Clock as well?

Peter am I right in thinking that this 3.5" would work the same as this one with picomite?
it says the driver is ILI9488

Would it need some soldering, though?

No soldering if the GPS is the time source. As far as I can see.

Then maybe run it on a RP2040-Plus  with a 105080 lipo 5000 mA battery and make it all portable?

That might work - but just remember that the RP2040 Plus isn't a supported platform for MMBasic. There could just possibly be trip-ups.
