Including Google Maps navigation applications, including smart phones while driving has been to allow people to easily be able to find a destination. However, in the eyes of the driver during driving away from the line of sight, bow view the phone screen in the direction it is very dangerous behavior.

To help people reduce this risk, global positioning system (GPS) manufacturer Garmin has developed a HUD (Head-Up Display, HUD).


"Wall Street Journal"Wen pointed out that this fixed on the car dashboard area above the HUD via Bluetooth technology with iPhone, Android or Windows Phone devices to connect, and then the Garmin StreetPilot or Navigon smartphone navigation applications where the image projected onto the car's windshield. Garmin pointed out that the information displayed on the driver's head-level range than a single use of smart phone navigation much safer.


In the test drive cars equipped with HUD after a week, check that Boni, HUD can really improve the driver's attention. In relying solely on Google Maps voice navigation in the case, he always bow to view map information displayed on the iPhone in order to determine the next intersection turn.

However, in driving cars equipped with Garmin HUD, the navigation information is constantly displayed in the driver's field of vision flat as the right of the driver so that you can see the navigation information, but also do not have to bow to confirm distracted driving directions.

Of course, this also has drawbacks. First, after reflection transparent image projected onto the windshield is not an easy thing. Secondly, because Garmin HUD only through the car power supply, so there must be a HUD device beneath the power cord is connected with the car, which undermine the overall aesthetics.


Garmin The HUD display system $ 150, but also requires the driver must use Garmin's navigation applications, and that an additional $ 50. With built-in high-end cars currently on the market compared to HUD systems, Garmin HUD system this relatively low price. But for drivers, after all, is an additional expense. If the user is valued driving safety, then, Garmin HUD certainly worth a try.

Garmin HUD's dimensions and small GPS devices almost. The driver can use the base to secure it to the dashboard in a proper position. Boni check the Garmin HUD fixed at the bottom of the windshield of his car position and the steering wheel on the right. Garmin HUD is a portable device, so you can also use it on other cars.

Garmin HUD provides two projected image within the driver level, as the way. One is attached to a transparent film projection position to the windshield, the other is a reflection lens mounted on the HUD device.

Require special emphasize that: Garmin HUD itself is not a GPS device. He needs with your smart phone to connect to the Garmin Navigon navigation applications or road information displayed. However, the device does not support Google Maps, Apple Maps or other third party mapping applications.

In addition, Garmin HUD projection brightness can be adjusted automatically. Whether in bright light or at night, the driver can clearly see the navigation images.
