Want a cheap Heads Up Display like all the fighter pilots have? Follow along with me.

Copy a map from Mapquest or any of the mapping services. Paste it into Microsoft Paint. Hit CTRL-R, (or "image", "flip vertical"). This will show your map backwards, and inside out. Then print it. You MAC users just have to figure which program will invert the image then print it.

Then put this piece of paper on your dashboard. You will get a reflection on your windshield that is a perfect map! It's a Heads Up Display! It actually works awesome. If you want to get fancy put a little flashlight under it to make it even brighter.

You'll never have to hunt for that map again or divert your eyes from the road. Thank the great folks at Lifehacker for the idea.
