Garmin HUD + Google Map = Garminuino

Hi Skyforce,

This is a very interesting project, keep up the good work!

I am working on an optical system that can eliminate the double reflection shown on the windshield. All commercial products use a reflective film that one has to stick to the windshield and even then the double reflection is not completely eliminated. Here is a snapshot I took at night

A combination of what you are working on and what I am doing could potentially be a great product.

I am curious if instead of showing information on the Garmin you could connect a bunch of LEDs to the arduino. This way you don't depend on the Garmin device, which I understand is discontinued and the final device is cheaper to make.

Here is an example of a similar idea:

The notifications from Google Maps are sent directly to Pebble watch.

Yes, Garmin HUD is discontinued, but this mechanism can adapt to other devices.

Likes Pebble watch you provide, Mi Band Maps is a same concept app:

I plan this app can connect to a DIY or cheap HUD device for more application.
