I know there is HUD for vehicle systems out there (though I've never owned one) but, does anyone make a HUD for a navigation unit like a Tom Tom or Garmin that will put the map on the windscreen? Had a gent ask me that today, told him I didn't think so but, there's always something new out there and as I've said before. I don't get out much...............

That's pretty cool. It may be very basic to some but, it's way out there for someone like me and, probably the gent that asked me about it.
Almost afraid to click the link and see what it costs. Go ahead, you do it for me.

A lot of smartphone nav apps have HUD options. You just set the phone on the dash and start HUDdin'.
Wasn't aware of that either. (as I've said before, I don't get out much) I'm running an I Phone 5S. It's old by today's standards and I don't have very many apps on it, I can barely operate the few I do use so, I'm thinking I should probably just stay home.

I'm a big HUD fan. You are correct, but what all the smart phone apps lack (so far) is the optics to project the display focused at (or near) infinity ... which is an important requirement for any true HUD system. The second big problem is multiple reflections off an ordinary windshield. That said, the GPS map displays we've grown accustomed to are very complex and detailed, and they will have to be simplified immensely to be more useful than distracting in a HUD environment. A huge amount of human-factors work goes into the design, development, and optimization of commercial and military HUD systems. Too much information in a HUD display can be far worse than not enough information.

So true, and holds true for any map as well. I brought up Texas Dept of Transportation's road condition map a couple days ago trying to plan a little trip and avoid flooded roads, and it had every road problem imaginable cluttered all over it. Fortunately, there was a way to turn off icons for accidents, construction, traffic, damage (bent guard rails, signs down, poor shoulders etc) and future planned closures leaving only flood closures and current construction closures, and it became much clearer.
I think I'd rather a double tall rearview mirror replacement..as there is more than enough room above most mirrors to double the height and not get into the front view, and put the nav screen on it, and it b able to toggle through nav screen and rear view camera/mirror screen.. as most are used to looking at that spot as they drive.. putting a holograph on the window seems like a bad idea, for most drivers, That don't see earth tone painted vehicles or motorbikes, now put a holograph in the view..
Reason oem's pushed earth tone paints... shown to get in wrecks 75% more than bright colors.. THe more sent to the scrap heap, the more they sell.

Very true. Makes me wonder why GPS was ever invented in the first place since a paper map is so cheap. You'd think nobody would pay hundreds of dollars for a GPS when they can get a map for $5.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, if you were,
Anywhere I have lived I have just bought a state atlas and never gotten lost with one of those, well unless I missed an exit or something. Try using GPS up here in Maine, it just doesn't work very well. Even the Maine state game wardens have a Maine state atlas in all their vehicles, because they just don't work up here in the places they go.

You do know that you can see threw a HUD display right?
if people can't seam to see vehicles and bikes with no hologram, putting on between them and the view of the road isn't a good idea..
go smoke another..
Find someone else to follow around and try and degrade, all your BS just rolls right off of me. from the sounds of it you are nothing but a child, who thinks they know everything, yet hasn't got a clue.
And just to be sure you get the point, your idea of making the mirror even bigger and taking up extra windshield space, no body should be or can constantly be looking at the middle of windshield, you should be looking out the windshield all the time, the part right in front of the drivers seat, not the middle of the windshield. I also road bikes when I was younger, until some twit in Taxachusettes cut me off at a red light in a paneled van. So I know all about distracted driving by others who don't see Bikes. maybe she was looking in her rear view mirror.

I just put a pretty girls picture on the dash for "heads up display" My GPS hangs right below the mirror so I have easy access and can keep my eyes on the road when I touch it. (The GPS get your minds out of the gutter)

Interesting concept....... I hadn't considered hanging it from the rear view mirror. The GPS that is.......... But then, that damn cord hangs down and gets in the way of the shifting action doesn't it?
The Navy seems to have an idea that might be applicable to GPS motorcyclist use. Going to need some air vents though, can't see carrying a tank of compressed air.

Its not too bad. If I keep the truck going to put the power in the over head light so the cord mess wont be an issue.
You know what, I am not stoned, I had a fkn stroke in 04, have short term memory loss, weakness in my left side, and more yet you being a Masshole know everything. I do smoke Medical Marijuana for constant muscle spasms and pain relief at times.
Medical Marijuana has low THC levels and high CBD levels. if I wanted to get stoned I wouldn't be smoking MM I would be smoking something with a high THC level.
But that is a good way to change the subject. A common Masshole mistake, MM is legal in Maine, MA, CA, and about 25 or maybe more states now all over the country, soon it will be legal for medical use all across the nation, as soon as our idiots in charge stop taking money from the pharmaceutical company's. Stroke was hereditary, everyone older than me in my family has had at least one. My pain doctor had me on 30 MG of opium twice a day before the MM, now I am down to 10MG twice a day and smoking the MM when I feel a muscle spasm coming on. Or have to much pain to stand so I don't have to take more opium. What would you rather see someone taking, Opium or MM?
And oh ya, I also have 6 herniated discs in my back. What is your problem other than you are a Masshole who thinks he knows everything?
But then don't let that stop you from spewing your stupid uninformed, incorrect statements.

so you are claiming that med weed has zero affect on people as far as them becoming high..
odd, I watched a family member that died from cancer, use it, and it was like night and day, you could tell when the person had smoked to help the pain and when they didn't need to .
I'll take my 1st hand info over your pro weed biased b/s

You really are an idiot.
There are all kinds of strains of MM out there, some work better than others but then I can't tell you anything you don't already know. How about you read something and learn something.
click on any strain and it will give you CBD and THC levels of it, not all MM works for everyone, some use higher levels of THC, some need Higher levels of CBD. But then you knew that already. Certain ones work better for some people and others work better for others. But then you already know that.
And looking at the dispensary in Brockton they have only high THC level strains so I can believe that they got high, but then it is Taxachusettes, land of the tax you to death representatives. But then the state only licensed who they wanted to now didn't they.
Now instead of trashing this thread why don't you start one of your own about MM, there are a lot of members here who use it for pain relief and more. Matter of fact it has been debated here many times already, why don't you do a search and some reading and learn something.
Hey did the MM work for your friend? Because if it did I don't see what your problem is with it, other than you are just argumentative. As an alternative they had Morphine, OxyContin I know, my mother died of Pancreatic Cancer.

No, I'm not an idiot.. I just have no use for those that take issue with people in my state, that had no problem with it, when it was the best option for them to make a good living, and are the ones YOUR AGE that voted in the clowns that made this state what it is.. Then leave and call others MASSHOLES...

Obviously answering more than one question at a time is over your head, so find some place else to spread your "I am Better than you!"

f you are going to use GPS on the bike.......why not just duct-tape it to your visor ? That way its ALWAYS in your line of sight ?

You can be ticketed for obstructing your vision if you get an overzealous policeman. I hid my camera behind the mirror so it's out of my line of sight just for this reason. The cord can be routed between glass and headliner so it's invisible.
I would bet if you want a HUD type function in a GPS then someone is working on it right now. I'm thinking it's going to be pricey.
My old Garmin is no longer used as my iPhone does everything the Garmin does and doesn't require paid updates.

The goal was to determine if, there was such a thing as a independent GPS that would provide HUD, didn't know before this. I like the idea of having a Go Pro type camera mounted but haven't gone that route, I don't go as much as I used to but hope to change that soon. Everything seems to be pricey now. But, I don't see them getting any cheaper in the near future. I not into using my IPhone for navigation, uses a whole bunch of data that still has to be paid for. I've been using an old Tom Tom for years and while it's not been updated since I purchased it, it still gets me where I want to go. Just purchased a new Tom Tom for my motorcycle, hope to get it mounted soon. It's user friendly and Blue Tooth capable, I'm just not too enthused about wearing ear buds while riding. That's my excuse and explanation for the interest in HUD for my bike.
