WaymarkCompare the right things
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.
Judge the result on the real screen, in the conditions in which it will be used. A theme preference on a stationary screen does not make every environment equally legible, and the HUD remains deliberately dark. Burn-in protection is a mitigation, not a guarantee against panel ageing. Keep attention on the route and make changes only after stopping in an appropriate place.
A like-for-like workflow
Dimming is not evidence that the trip or GPS stopped.
- Review burn-in protection
- Notice dimming after inactivity
- Tap when stationary to restore brightness
Interpret the difference
A user leaves the HUD untouched for a long interval. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.
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.
Quick reference
| Item | Meaning | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Handlebar mode | Directly readable numerals | Use for an appropriate non-reflected setup |
| Mirrored mode | Reversed presentation on the phone | Check the actual reflection while stationary |
| Burn-in protection | Dimming and a slight periodic layout shift | A mitigation rather than a panel-life guarantee |
