    What do you mean by HUD mode? A simple mirroring of the existing app or mirroring plus changing the way the information is displayed?

    I am working on a special mount that can reflect a readable version of any app on the phone, including Waze. You basically have a transparent image on the windshield showing Waze with the correct orientation. I have built a working prototype and I am currently testing it. The solution is very simple and compact. Would you be interested in a phone mount that does this?

    Also keep in mind, that any reflection on the windshield is not visible during the day with sun. It only works at night or when there isn't sun (cloudy, rainy day or a few hours in the morning and before it gets dark).

    Even with HUD mode, the image reflected off the windshield has two (minor) issues/limitations:

    1. It is not visible during the day in sunny conditions.

    2. There is double reflection on the windshield. (can be eliminated with special film).

    So even if Waze had a HUD mode one would only be able to use it at night or when it is cloudy or raining. Would you still want a HUD mode?
