Review the wider instrument layout before travel.

Define the outcome

Set the mounting position, orientation and display mode before the journey. Check that the important labels fit the actual device and that you can read them without leaning or adjusting the phone while moving. A mirrored display is intentionally reversed on the phone; a normal handlebar view is not. Choose the mode for the physical setup rather than for the appearance of a screenshot.

Waymark keeps the driving display focused on distance, speed and location state. The HUD offers a directly readable handlebar mode and a mirrored mode for a suitable reflection setup. The app can keep the screen awake during instrument use, and its burn-in protection can dim and slightly shift the HUD over time. Display options affect presentation, not the underlying trip distance.

Three checks to complete

The display should be assessed with the actual text size and units.

  • Rotate the device while stationary
  • Read distance and speed
  • Check controls at the new width

Final review

A mounted phone is used sideways. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.

A useful display check includes portrait and landscape, your chosen units and a state where GPS is unavailable. Confirm that you can distinguish an unavailable reading from a measured zero. After using the HUD, leave through its exit control and check that the main instrument is still accessible. A familiar exit path is especially important with a fixed mount or a reflected presentation.
