Your iPhone's navigation on your BMW's HUD and instrument cluster

Wayglass puts turns, distance, street names and lanes from Google Maps, Apple Maps and other CarPlay navigation apps on the head-up display and the LED instrument cluster of NBT Evo cars. It looks just like the built-in navigation.

What's on the HUD

Everything you need for the next maneuver, without taking your eyes off the road.

Hover or tap an item to highlight it on the HUD.

HUD: a 30 sign, 0 km/h, Rottendorfer Str, 100m, a roundabout with the second exit, lanes with the left one highlighted. — Roundabout: exit number and lanes

HUD at night in red and orange: a 30 sign, 0 km/h, Rottendorfer Str, 100m, a roundabout with the second exit and lanes. — Night colours

HUD in daylight over the road: a 30 sign, 0 km/h, Rottendorfer Str, 50m, a right-turn arrow, lanes with the right one highlighted. — In daylight, over the road

HUD, cluster or both

Wayglass shows the same guidance on the LED instrument cluster too — between the dials, where BMW navigation draws it. Choose where in the car menu.

Auto: Like BMW navigation: HUD on — guidance on the HUD; HUD off with the Head-Up Display button — on the cluster. The default.
HUD: The head-up display only.
Cluster: The LED instrument cluster only — also in cars without a HUD.
HUD and cluster: Both at once.

LED instrument cluster: between the speedometer and the rev counter — a street name, 640m, a right-turn arrow and lanes. — On the instrument cluster

Looks built-in

Same places on the HUD and cluster, same colours as the car's own navigation, day and night.

BMW navigation comes first

Start the built-in guidance and Wayglass hands over the HUD and the cluster, then comes back when it ends.

Set and forget

Starts with the car. No internet needed in the car.

When BMW navigation is on

The built-in navigation comes first. As soon as it starts guidance, Wayglass hands over the HUD and the cluster and comes back on its own when guidance ends. You can’t run a route on the iPhone and in BMW navigation at the same time: starting one cancels the other.

Navigation apps

Plan the route on your phone or on the car screen. What each app sends to the HUD and cluster:

App	Arrow	Distance	Street	Lanes
Google Maps	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not tested
Apple Maps	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Yandex Navigator	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
2GIS	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not tested

Lanes are shown when the app provides them. Of the tested apps, Yandex Navigator does.

Settings right in the car

A Wayglass item appears in the "My Vehicle" menu — everything is visible and adjustable from the car screen.

HUD autostart: Turns guidance on and off without a computer.
Where to show: Auto — like BMW navigation by the HUD button, HUD only, cluster only or both.
Lanes: Whether to show lanes and how to draw the arrows in them.
Maneuver description: Show the maneuver description instead of the street name.
Status: What's shown now, whether Wayglass is waiting for a route, which version is installed.

The Wayglass screen on the car display: Refresh, an "Autostart on HUD" checkbox, Settings, and guidance on the HUD: right, 530 m.

The Wayglass Settings screen: checkboxes "Show lanes", "Lanes in perspective with arrows", "Lane columns with arrows", "Maneuver text instead of street", "Record the drive".
