26. A method of configuring a heads-up display (“
- HUD”
) of a vehicle dash, comprising;displaying, at a first time, a configuration area to a portion of a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
), wherein the configuration area includes vehicle dash information arranged in a first layout on a visual representation of a virtual dash display for a HUD unit, wherein the vehicle dash information comprises one or more applications, and wherein the one or more applications correspond to vehicle readouts;receiving a first input at the GUI, wherein the first input corresponds to an instruction to alter the first layout of the vehicle dash information to a second layout of the vehicle dash information, and wherein the second layout of the vehicle dash information is different from the first layout of the vehicle dash information; selecting, by a processor, the second layout of the vehicle dash information to display on the visual representation of the virtual dash display in the configuration area of the GUI and project above a vehicle dash by the HUD unit; and displaying, at a second time, the second layout of the vehicle dash information by the HUD unit. - View Dependent Claims (27, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
