Navdy, a soccer mom device that could eventually be used for track purposes ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

While on Facebook today, I saw an add about a device called Navdy. I checked it up and it looks pretty sweet for dumb, regular, day-to-day commuter. But then it got me thinking. What if such a device could be connected to Torque to display information about your car or even show laptime on the track or somewhat of a ghost. (A bit like Jaguar Windshield)..

So what are your thoughs about that ? Think something cool can be done with it ?

I saw Navdy on reddit a while back. Looks cool, especially if they plan on releasing an SDK so we can get third party apps.

Also, I feel like I saw either Navdy or something very similar in a recent Mini Cooper commercial.

These aftermarket HUD systems have been around for a while, but this one looks pretty cool compared to the POS garmin one.

I want one for sure (in the new camaro, that I hope on acquiring) but I still think it is fairly pointless at this point, and more of something just cool.

That said - I want like 9 of them
