aSmartHUD is simple and clear vehicle digital dashboard featured by HUD mode and SHORT-TERM WEATHER FORECAST.
It visualizes your
- current speed,
- average speed,
- current time,
- elapsed trip time,
- heading,
- altitude,
- weather forecast for nearest 24 hours the with 3-hour time interval,
- maximum reached speed,
- direct distance (kilometers, miles, nautical miles supported) to the starting point of your trip.
- maximum reached speed, altitude and distance to start point, for the current trip and all the trips your ever did.
Comparing with others HUD displays on the market - better look and more features for lower price.
Tapping the “HUD” icon mirrors all the text, so if you position the iPhone horizontally under your car’s windscreen you can see perfectly readable half-transparent reflection of the picture displayed. We love this mode! We found it much more convenient compared to traditional car dashboards (especially on the roads of Western Europe, which are full of speed cameras and where you need to watch your speedometer all the time). And last but not the least - it just looks cool. Note: this mode works pretty well at night time and twilight, but on direct sunlight the screen brightness can be insufficient.
- “aSmart HUD” can keep track on 4 speed limits, giving a warning (sound and visual) each time you crossing it. Normally, it’s legal speed limits within cities, local roads and high-speed motorways. “Never exceed speed” is the speed you should not exceed under any conditions. For example, it can be a technical limit of your vehicle or the point where government can arrest your driving license.
- Weather forecast time intervals and temperature units (C, F) are selectable in Preferences.
- Landscape and Portrait screen layouts support.
- Three different compass styles.
- Speed history log chart is placed on the bottom of the screen.
- “Location Info” (longitude and latitude, GPS measurement precision) and some more data is available on separate screen. You can adjust transparency of the “Location Info” screen to use both views at the same time.
- “Records” screen (left upper button on the “Location Info” screen), where you can see your maximum reached speed (during the current trip or all of your trips), maximum altitude and maximum distance from start.
- Tap the speed indicator to switch into speed fullscreen mode.
- In Preferences, you can specify different measurement units (miles per hour, kilometers per hour, knots and meters per second), display color scheme, speed log chart refresh rate and chart style (bars or dots).

Limitations
- The program is running only on GPS-enabled iPhones 3G (second generation or higher) with iPhone OS 2.2 or higher. No iPod Touch, 1st-generation iPhones or minor OS versions supported.
- The precision is affected by the satellite signal quality. On open-sky spaces it’s pretty good, but under other conditions can noticeably decrease. Also, after startup it requires some time to locate the necessary satellites, so during first minutes of running the measurement can be less effective. If unsure, use the program only for reference, don’t rely on it for 100%.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions about additional functionality, there is a big chance they will be implemented in next version. Please forward your requests or bug reports to requests@atoll-ordenadores.comor share your opinions at http://www.atoll-ordenadores.com/forum/.
