I have used Osmand on motorcycle tours for the last three years. I bought a rugged phone with a 10.000 mAh battery that lasts all day, connected it to my Scala Rider intercom, and that's it. I have been ridign in tropical conditions in South East Asia, in Northern Europe in sun, rain and also snow. Works fine. In a very few situations the screen is not easy to read, but then I rely on the voice command coming through the intercom system. I have no SIM-card in the phone, it's used only for navigation. Why do you need modifictions and Raspberry Pi?
