Only downfall I've found with the iPhone / Droid apps was they lag a bit (when you accellerate or brake quickly they have to 'catch up') but they are still nice for cruising at constant speeds for visible MPH and they have a nice selection of apps for different looks.

Oh, and hopefully you don't get a call while it's up there

Well, I've got a solution and a LOW PRICED one at that for you guys! Available in Feb I will have my first shipment of our new GPS Heads Up Display that works in ANY vehicle!!!

This device is simply amazing. It's about 1/3" thick, 1.5" high, and 4" long. It shows your SPEED and a COMPASS. It also has a built in BlueTooth transmitter that will work with any capable map software on your phone or laptop. It will be the GPS antenna for your software! It works on a cigarette lighter plug BUT it has a built in Lithium Ion battery that will allow it to work without a power source. I've left mine on without a power source for over a day and it still worked!

The display is in red LED digital numbers and the compass is green. It is set up at the front of the dash under the windshield to reflect on the glass. Comes with 2 squares of light tint to place on the windshield where the reflection is to help keep it visible in the daylight.

On my 2008 Silverado I put the reflection and tint just behind the windshield wiper and it is visible even in the brightest sunlight! Oh, and it self-adjusts at night so it's not too bright as well - very nice feature.

It also has a built in programmable over-speed warning which will blink when you go over a certain speed. Great for long trips in heavy traffic where you can't set your cruise control for long.

The only down-side I've found thus far is that the cigarette lighter plug has a voltage regulator in it that outputs a lower voltage, so you can't just cut the plug off and hardwire it in..... I came up with a great solution though! I will be including with the kit a two-port auxillary plug kit that you can mount pretty much anywhere. I put mine under the dash and hardwired it in to the fuse-box with constant power. Now I have an extra power point hidden under the dash for phone chargers or radars or whatever you need! I will include this with the HUD unit and instructions as well!

One last thing, on TomTom's and other nav units, often the speed lags wayyyy behind on fast accelleration. NOT ON THIS UNIT! It uses 20+ satellites for positioning and reacts FAST to your speed. It's really a great device. Helps you calibrate your speedometer properly as well.

I will post a couple pics here in just a little bit of one installed in the truck. My first bulk shipment will be coming in Feb from the manufacturer so as soon as I get a better exact date I will start taking orders.

The kit is only going to be around $100 with the instructions and extra power outlet!
