How many people use the HUD and when?

I love the HUD, we had this in our C5 as well. I like to use it at night, and when I'm on the freeway. I use it a lot, I'm glad to have it.

Husband on the other hand, he doesn't like it.

Navigation displays in the HUD if you are in street mode. Makes it very useful as you don't have to look at the screen.

My V1 radar detector also displayed in the HUD.

The nav directions show up in the HUD. That's one reason I stick with factory nav.

The upcoming turns and distance to next turn shows up on the HUD if you use the OEM navigation.

Street Mode on the HUD supports
audio and navigation
functions with your choice
of tachometer settings.

I would like to hook up my Bluetooth. I tried to get my phone hooked up to it, but it wasn’t working out for me. I pushed the little phone/voice button on my steering wheel and some man’s voice is on there LOL. Pretty sure that’s the previous owner.

I have both and since I have learned to maneuver the OEM Nav, I never use the Garmin.

There is a tutorial that shows how to use it. (attached)
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rough-5-a.html

It doesn't show all the tricks, but it is a very good start.
I usually pre load my destinations (hotels, points of interest) into a memory point folder in the Nav, and then select from that menu on a daily basis instead of selection a full route from start to finish. The memory point folder allows you to select destinations while the vehicle is moving.

I use it all the time. I've tried the different modes but always take it back to the basic-speedo only mode.
I like the turn signal indicators being in there as well.

I really like the C6 analog gauges, but I use the HUD because I have it. Very convenient.

I never use it. It's great at night, but I still glance down at the gages.

I use the HUD all the time. Every once in awhile though need to glance down and scan the other gauges though to make sure everything is "ok".

good to check coolant temp as I usually have oil temp on the HUD. Quick scan of the gages tells me everything is OK.

It took awhile for me to adjust to the HUD. I like it.
