cooked Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash999 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually move your head to look at the speedo? Edited October 5, 2018 by wgdanson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimamey Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
