## What is HUDWAY Drive?

It’s how you drive focused and stay connected at the same time!

HUDWAY Drive heads-up display (hudway.co/drive) allows you to keep your eyes on the road ahead without compromising the comfort of staying connected. 

The app seamlessly delivers notifications, incoming calls, navigation directions to the transparent screen on the dashboard.

This is how you’ll revise the experience of driving with a smartphone — when there’s no need to check it, when you instantly receive all the information you selected to receive — and respond hands- and hassle-free.

Why HUDWAY Drive?

Stay in touch without being distracted by the phone:

— Instantly know who's calling you and decide whether to pick up the phone.
— Get notifications from the apps that matter to you: Messages, Mail, Calendar, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Skype, Telegram, Viber, etc.
— See what you’re listening to — never lower your eyes to check on the track you switch to.

Build routes and get to your destination in the quickest way:

— Minimalist map design focuses on the really important things while you're driving.
— Information about speed limits helps you comply with traffic rules.
— The route is built with traffic jams in mind. You are always offered the best route.
— If you prefer to stick with Waze or Google Maps, you can have them mirrored to the HUD.

Get real-time information about your car with the OBD-II scanner that comes with the device:

— Speed — now brought from your car computer to your field of vision.
— RPM — so that you shift gears at the right moments.
— Fuel consumption — whenever you feel like viewing instantaneous consumption or seeing your trip cost calculated in real time.
— Fuel tank level — shows you the fuel level percentage to keep an eye on and never run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere.
— Battery voltage — for you to quickly check if your battery and alternator are okay.
— Coolant and oil temperature — to stay confident there's nothing wrong with your vehicle's engine.

Tune it to suit you best at any moment:

— Select from the variety of widgets — and create the combination that speaks to you
— Minimize the widgets — they will stay at the bottom of your line of sight and keep the main area clear until a notification pops in.
— Go for mirroring — that’s how you can have Waze, Google Maps, and other applications displayed on the HUD.

See how it can help you with the traffic tickets: 

— Fewer speeding tickets —  you’re in better control of your speed and current limit as they’re displayed on the HUD.
— No more fines for using your phone while driving — HUDWAY Drive keeps it out of your hands and focus.

HUDWAY Drive is what makes navigation with a smartphone safer, more comfortable, and less-distracted.

### 4/5 — Яндекс транслит

*2025-08-07*

А можете при использовании навигации Яндекса показывать оригинальные названия улиц на русском языке? Сейчас транслит с английского на русский выглядит убого. Вместо «Щёлковское шоссе (дублёр)» вижу «Сцхыолковскоые Хуы (лоцал лане)». Немного смешно даже.

### 1/5 — Worked for 3 months

*2025-05-05*

After 3 months the device stopped working. Sometimes it would not come on at all. Sometimes it would turn off and on. I waited for a year for this device. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Flawed product

*2025-04-19*

The HUD crashed ever so often, partially did not restart. Phone needs to be unlocked and Hudway app opened that it works. Navigation voice does not announce full directions and gets cut off. OBDII dongle runs on continous power draining the battery. Having a fuse tap on IG would help. Helpdesk did not respond to my last email. Do not recommend this product.

### 1/5 — Functionality leaves a lot to be desired

*2025-01-28*

The app is really bad. For some reason the hudway wont pair with my phone even though it’s discoverable and done it before. Can’t tell if there’s a way to factory reset it or not. The Bluetooth OBD doesn’t connect in time most of my drives or it doesn’t pull in the correct information. It’ll say the RPMs are not available on my car. It’s nice when it works but it doesn’t work more often than it does.

### 3/5 — Why my App after update not longer open it which means my Hudway not working at moment

*2024-12-30, version 1.4.3*

Two days ago it looks like the app got update why my app after update won’t be able to open it which is my hudway no longer connect with my app any more

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-12-02*

The hardware is disappointing and impossible to read during the day and in sunlight. The app doesn’t offer many features, and the map doesn’t work at all for me. Not a good product I would recommend at the moment.

**Developer response:** Hi! We're very sorry for the failed expectations. To adjust brightness, please check this article https://hudway.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/11223972382610-Brightness-level-settings – it may help to make it better. As for the map, please check if you allowed the Location permission to All the time in your phone settings > Apps > Drive app > Permissions > Location. If this doesn't work, please feel free to let us know at support@hudway.co. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Worst update ever

*2024-11-08, version 1.4.2*

The app just doesn’t work anymore, period.

### 3/5 — Map Provider

*2024-10-29*

Update on maps in Australia 
I have apple carplay how can it connect to Waze or google maps?

 Wally

**Developer response:** Hi! We apologise for the poor maps for Australia – we're currently working on implementing another map provider. As for the ETA, we'll also improve it once we've added a new provider. Thank you so much!

### 3/5 — More info during navigate

*2024-09-30*

Can you add ETA on navigation? Update on maps in Australia

Wally

**Developer response:** Hi! We apologise for the poor maps for Australia – we're currently working on implementing another map provider. As for the ETA, we'll also improve it once we've added a new provider. Thank you so much!

### 2/5 — Gps работает отвратно!

*2024-04-27*

Gps - ошибка в 5 км!!! Смартфон показывает правильно, а приложение ужасно!

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Приносим свои извинения за некорректную работу. Было бы здорово, если бы вы рассказали нам подробнее в обращении в техподдержку по адресу support@hudway.co. Спасибо!
