HUD projection onto the windscreen
  • Vote Up2Vote Down hawkey3hawkey3
    Hallo,

    I'd like to suggest the addition of a HUD mode for the "Navigator" app for android.
    I believe this could be very easily achieved by simply mirror-inverting the map and instructions in navigation mode (because the reflected image on the windscreen will again invert everything).
    I already tried this (works best at night of course) and it is a neat little feature to have the map in your field of view, however of course, left was right and vice versa.
    A picture to illustrate what I mean.

    In the play-store already are a few navigation apps which offer this feature, I'd really like to see this added to "Navigator" since it's my favourite one.

    Thank you.

    For simply HUD view You don't need "mirror-inverting' program/script.
    It is possible by changing icons (mirror it in graphic program - gimp, paint etc).
    I think it is possible now - editing icons, and changing colors (without map projection). Only arrows, maybe by changing fonts (by edit and mirror it) You can see street names and distance information.

    Look at:

    At night, with special foil looks good.

    (edit)

    One hint - try use mirror to 'convert' view.

    I tried, and it works, but better without it, just mobile and good handle.
