Yes, the note 2 can use the stylus for completely touch free access, haven't tried it with nomex gloves on :-) However for May I'm going minimalist - Habey super dinky Linux box and USB attached (rather than Bluetooth) GPS and USB attached Crystalfontz enclosed LCD+keypad - not because I want it to stay this way but because I want to do a field trial of the software.

My Samsung Galaxy Note II has a 5.5" touch screen you don't even
have to touch to use, and I have an app that has a HUD mode for
speed.? I just throw it on the dash and it reads my speed off the
windshield.? HUD isn't really a technology, it's just flipping the
picture vertically and adjusting the brightness of the reflection.?

Thanks for the
pointers. The ultimate goal would be any controls are on
the steering wheel and the display is a HUD - but the
latter technology isn't quite there yet (lots of
interesting progress though).
I have had a bit of time to work further on my toy - so it
should be usable for the next race in May. It will be for
a test, I'll still have my naviguesser/co-driver do the
usual stopwatch things :-)

Steven,
??? Touch screens which can
operate with normal gloved
hands are becoming
available:

I
have been working on this project for
several years - a tablet would work dandy,
but I don't do Java or that weird C
variant the iPad does (and wouldn't want
to have to deal with Apples $ and rules
for an app anyway). Android is better - as
you can bypass the stores and do direct
loads/testing. I am exploring that.
However this is a hobby and the goal is
what is important to me - that goal is
having a tool customized for Open Road
Racing (sscc.us shows what that is about).
So at present the system that works is:
Habey seriously dinky (5x5x1.5 inches)
indrustrial fanless computer running
Debian.
picoLCD 2x20 LCD display with 16 key 4x4
matrix keypad (can be managed by gloved
fingers - tablets/phones require
conductive touches - nomex kills that idea
real quick).
Software in C which I have been doing
since C first began so the coding is easy
:-)
Bluetooth connection to an OBD-II elm327
device and via USB to a 10 Hz/66 satellite
GPS receiver.
When it is in a state I feel comfy with I
will gladly post it to the website if the
moderator is willing to host it :-)
Mid May is my deadline for it to be ready
to race... as of this moment the GPS and
display (and all the parsing and math
involved) work, the keypad does not yet
work and while I have OBD-II libraries I
have not yet integrated them.

It
seems like a phone wouldn't be the
best choice for an automotive app
- too small a display and too
expensive. And too much specialized
hardware that isn't needed for
automotive display and control. How
about
a cheap tablet?
It would only need single touch for
most things.
For anything you would access while
driving, you'd want big "buttons",
not controls requiring precise aim.
What about a display for arbitrary
sensors - multiple cheap temperature
sensors, etc.?
Of course, being able to also dock the
phone for hands-free functions
could be worthwhile.
