class navigation together with the free Garmin HUD App

I can not understand the negative reviews because those evaluate the device for the most part as an independent navigation system rather than as a supplement a navigation app with the usual functionality.

The app Garmin HUD belongs but always so, and then you have an ideal system in conjunction with the Garmin HUD app.

This is a very good navigation app (same as the former Navigon app), to which there is not much aiszusetzen: instructions always timely, clear and concise, clear routing, interaction with the HUD + works very well. the app will work for 30 days without HUD + after it was once linked to the HUD + (as it says in the description). For the price of about 80-110 for the HUD + itself (it had on eBay for 79 receive) therefore you get next to the device a free premium navigation app, giving it a full navigation system. I switched from an independent Navi in ​​this solution.

Back to the device itself: The Garmin HUD + has for me a clear added value, and is also cheaper to purchase than an equivalent navigation system from Garmin or TomTom. The eyes remain on the road, you drive safer, and if necessary you can still on the smartphone to view the 3D navigation with lane guidance, etc., how in the conventional navigation systems also can it otherwise. This lack of ability on the HUD device imputable this I find misleading, because this can not and should not make the HUD. Here, some buyers and reviewers may not have accurate information before purchasing.

The design I personally like, the HUD is designed legible and clearly even in bright. in particular the large navigation arrow is easy to read and just at the roundabout very helpful (the direction of the exit is shown with between exits well). The display is also significantly larger than in a conventional 5-7 inch Navi.

I would recommend almost full.

What you need to know:
- Need a tablet or smartphone with Android, iOS or Windows Phone.
- Live traffic and street name announcements you have to buy extra.

Live traffic is way significantly superior to TMC, and with some providers only purchase as a subscription in addition to a Navi hu while ud otherwise preinstalled only with devices 150 is permanently free. For this you need usually always a smartphone, even with TomTom and Garmin devices (except very expensive model with built-in module for Traffic Live).
