>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 00:49:52 2012 No.284758 >>284755 Anything that goes in your field of view while driving (except the rear-view mirror obviously). Mounting a GPS to your windshield is illegal for the same reason.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 00:51:22 2012 No.284759 Something made vastly easier in the very recent past by the spread of tablet computers. GPS speedo and map, speed camera zones and any kind of data could be piped through that sort of device..

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 02:33:07 2012 No.284800 Get up to my level. Collimate the light so you don't lose focus when you look at it. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display#Design_factors"

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 3 02:39:07 2012 No.284803 >>284790 OP here This is initially what I had in mind, something projecting upwards from the dash.
