Turn your iPhone into a windshield head-up display

Lay your iPhone flat on the dashboard and Windshield HUD reflects your speed, the speed limit, the next turn and your lane onto the windshield, so your eyes stay on the road. Apple Maps directions, speed limits and camera alerts from OpenStreetMap, LED-style digits, and a demo drive to try it anywhere. Tip: a $5 HUD reflective film makes it bright even in daylight.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Car makers charge a lot for a head-up display, so I wondered if the iPhone already in my pocket could do the job. Laid flat on the dashboard, its screen reflects in the windshield, so I built an app that draws everything mirrored to read correctly in the glass: speed, the speed limit, the next turn and lane, plus a small map.
What I learned: the secret behind those bright HUD gadgets is a cheap HUD reflective film on the glass. It makes the picture much brighter and removes the double image, and the app shows you how to fit one.
The speedometer, compass, trip computer and a demo drive are free. HUD Pro adds turn-by-turn navigation, speed limits and speed camera alerts.
I'd love your feedback, especially how it looks in your car and what you'd want on the glass next!
