# Garmin HUD support
|
|
|
|
## Purpose of this project
|
|
|
|
Garmin created fantastic Head-up Display, but they had it discontinued in 2015[^1].
|
|
Fortunately, whole protocol had been reverse engineered[^2]. This allowed community to create their own works.
|
|
|
|
## Works
|
|
|
|
Project started in Aug'23 as simple solution to connect GMaps with Garmin.
|
|
PoC was created with python (can be viewed [here](./python)) as it is the quickest known way to test protocol and create objects.
|
|
With the help of [Garminuino](https://github.com/skyforcetw/Garminuino) and [GMapsParser](https://github.com/3v1n0/GMapsParser) first version of application was created, which wasn't working at all.
|
|
|
|
Two weeks later I switched to Mapbox as completely standalone solution. Despite some bugs and huge battery drainage some may say that it works.
|
|
|
|
### Stack
|
|
|
|
- Kotlin 1.9
|
|
- Mapbox SDK 11.5.1
|
|
- Navigation SDK 3.2.0
|
|
- Search SDK 2.4.0
|
|
|
|
### Future works
|
|
|
|
All the plans cannot be simply specified as they depend on many factors.
|
|
Main conception is not firmly grunted so it can depend on final decisions:
|
|
|
|
1. Standalone application
|
|
- optimisation
|
|
- bug fixes
|
|
- camera behaviour
|
|
- search prompt graphics
|
|
- reconnect button style
|
|
- garmin connection fixes - socket behaviour on reconnect
|
|
- maneuver processing (on long distances it refreshes every 10+ km)
|
|
- Android Auto integration
|
|
- POIs
|
|
- speed cameras database
|
|
- traffic data
|
|
|
|
2. Proxy (one to choose from)
|
|
- Google Maps (probably)
|
|
- Yanosik
|
|
- Waze
