E-Paper device for Navigation only (feddit.org)

I am looking for an e-paper device with a polychromatic screen, with a GPS chipset, able to run OSMAnd, enough storage for offline maps (64GB+) and preferably an option to flash LineageOS or any other de-googled OS. Or is there maybe even a dedicated e-paper GPS navigation device not reliant on Android? Any recommendations or tips?

They all run some version of Android. I think you'll have to get an actual phone variant if you want GPS though, I'm not sure the tablets have it.

I'm just adding to my other comment, that the Hibreak S says "GPS supported" in the very bottom of the product page in the image of the comparison table. The chatbot can't read images it seems. The S model is based on Android 14, while the older one is based on 11. https://euroshop.bigme.vip/collections/smartphone/products/bigme-4g-color-epaper-smartphone-hibreak-s-with-android-14-os?variant=42834538889305

Good point! The bigme chatbot says only the simple Hibreak has a GPS chipset. It does also come in a color screen variant. So I will investigate that one for now. Android 11 sound shitty though... https://euroshop.bigme.vip/products/bigme-hibreak-smartphone?variant=41760806305881
