Free HUD?! in a sense, yes.
For us android users there is an app called Ulysse Speedometer
It has a dashboard look to it which you can see ^.
Speedometer
Compass
Average Speed
Odometer
Elevation
Race*
0-60
0-100
1/4
*Don't know how accurate the race feature is, haven't tried it.
First of all you need your GPS to be on for it to work (obviously) and the speedometer is precise, as well as the distance.
oh right, HUD.
well you go to the menu and simply hit HUD and --- will come up if you're not moving, if you are, then you'll see backwards numbers. (you can change the color of the numbers)
slide that baby to your windshield!
and if you're about to say how it slides around, go buy one of those rubber dash mats for phones for a few bucks.
Oh and it doesnt seem to suck the battery dry noticeably fast.

I've got one called SpeedView, it's pretty awesome 
obviously works best at night, but this one definitely has a nicer user interface...I just wish that the entire interface on both of them would work for the HUD, though I guess it would be too small. SpeedView only displays speed, direction, altitude, and distance traveled when it's in HUD mode
how accurate exactly are these?

wow thats actually more than what this shows, in HUD mode it only shows the speed. Distance, Speed, and time-wise its very precise, i can't vouch for the 0-60 and 1/4 mile though

anyone interested in this should check out Torque if you havent already, its similar and also can scan OBDII codes with a bluetooth OBDII dongle... i've used it to clear emissions codes several times (no cats)

1) It's a PITA to open up and CAREFULLY place and ALIGN it on your dash every single time you drive your car. Frustrating if you daily drive your car. Even more frustrating when the battery is almost dead from not charging it during the workday. Even MORE frustrating when your car has full suspension and the rubber mat slides around from the kind of cornering capability the car has.
2) I bought one of those rubber mat things. Guess I bought the wrong one since over time it lost its "grippyness" from getting dirty, and then curled up from the heat.
3) It only works well at/near night...
4) There is a delay if using GPS readings to measure MPH.
5) It works great in my Jeep.
