It is rather difficult to comment on it, can you please clarify which category of it you have been messing about with.

Personnaly I think its just a "gimmick" a toy !

He's likely talking about the headsup display on the Sygic navigation app.

Only properly usable at  night, when I rarely drive, and distracting I should have thought.

Speed Only. Id like to hear from someone who doent find it distracting, not those who dont use or have it. I think its a Young Person thing.You can turn it light or dark but sped going up n down still catches my eye.

A Scoopy is a Nighlight in the Grandkids Bedroom.

I still have no idea what this post is about??? What colors does it come in? Is it safe for children? Is it waterproof? Will it fog my glasses?

Agree plus the strange inability to say what vehicle is involved.

I'm curious, will the color run when it's washed and will it shrink.

That information might have been useful in the first post.
People aren't mind readers.

True but the clowns did anyway, the Non Trukies will no doubt have their opinion later.

I have a Toyota pick-up and, like many vehicles made in the last 100 years, it has a dial in front of the driver's position which goes round clockwise as you drive faster.

Series 4 BMW? Bob Marley and the Wailers? Cool!

I've got it on my car but don't pay too much attention to it. It has a mini navigation function but I end up looking at the big display anyway.

I have a Mazda 3 with HUD. I like it as I don't have to look down to see my speed and it also displays NAV info. Very handy.

But you still have to focus your eyes on something 18 inches away instead of on the road ahead. Do you actually move your head to look at the speedo?

I've not got one of these but there is a hud on my Toyota Prius in the UK. I don't usually have any difficulty seeing it day or night but it can dissappear if there's something bright in the same line of view.  As an example sometimes the sun reflecting off a vehicle in front or strong tail lights at night. A lot will depend on the position of the image on the windscreen.  On mine it's fairly low as it's designed as part of the car within the dashboard.

Well if you are driving a Mazda 3 and the HUD is 18 inches from your eyes than you must be 3 feet tall and are resting your head on the steering wheel. The HUD is 34 inches from my eyes, just went outside and measured, and is in my line of sight where the road and end of the hood meet. Just right for me. And yes you have to move your eyes to see the speedometer as the main display is the tach and the speed is displayed in the bottom of the tach.

I have no need for the Spedo. Nice Thai people send me a picture showing that most months.

I used to have a first gen Citroen Picasso which had the speedo in the centre of the dash. The theory was that you didn't need to move your head so much which I didn't believe.  I checked and to my surprise they were right.
