Hello OSMAND team,

I would like to ask about a feature which has been long asked about but no solution has been posted: Heads-Up Display.
I do own a large-screen phone and would buy a tablet to use this feature of OSMAND.

I was unable to find anything related to HUD in the latest version of OSMAND+ (15th of October 2015).

Mr. Oliveira, please do not answer with http://code.google.com/p/osmand/issues/detail?id=1505 as the topic is closed and there is no solution but external software and tools.
I have searched this forum, the website and the whole internet and found no possibility to use OSMAND in HUD mode.
Would someone please point me (and everybody else who is actively searching for the HUD feature in OSMAND) into the right direction?

Thank you,
Dorin

Just a thought: what if the HUD was not done by osmand, but by an app doing nothing but HUD? 
Take a look at "Head-Up HUD Navigation FREE" from playstore. it receives nav updates from Google Maps. What if it could receive nav updates from osmand navigation?
You could be free to choose/develop the HUD App you like.
I guess osmand had just to produce notifications on the coming turn.

HUD is extremely cool Two weeks ago I was in the luxurious position to drive a brand new Volvo S90 for a couple of days (rental).
It has a HUD for speed, max speed and directions. And I can assure you it is very useful. If there was an aftermarket solution available to use your phone as source, I'd buy it in a split second.
