Garmin Adds Head-Up Display for Navigating in Any Car
Growing number of cars are offering head-up display units from the factory, but Garmin has come up with an innovative device to add this helpful technology to just about any vehicle.
For just $129.99, the Garmin HUD unit is small, portable and can display navigation commands on the windshield (or an attached reflector lens) so the driver doesn't have to look away from the road.
The unit mounts atop the instrument panel and requires a transparent film to be installed for windshield use, but installation should be pretty simple. Easier yet, the system gets its directions from Android and iOS smartphones, but it requires the purchase of maps from Garmin StreetPilot or Navigon, which start at $29.99. The display shows typical nav information such as turns, distance to next turn and estimated time of arrival in addition to speed limits, traffic information and even traffic camera locations.
