Real Life Need for Speed Mini Map

Saturday, December 6th 2025

What's up, gearheads and gamers? Every time you boot up an old classic like Need for Speed Underground 2, you probably spend a moment wishing you could port that glorious, neon-tinged aesthetic right into your actual ride. Ok, when was the last time you played NFS:U2? If you're a retro gamer like me, not long ago. But that custom UI, the slick neon glow... and of course, the iconic mini-map. Is still burned into our minds.

Well, one dedicated creator on YouTube, Garage Tinkering, just made that fantasy a real-world mod. In his latest video, "I Built a Real Mini Map from Need for Speed," he tackles a challenge everyone told him was impossible: building a functional, real-time mini-map styled exactly like NFS:U2's on a low-power ESP32 microcontroller with a screen. Unit sits on his dashboard like a in game GPS. And spoilers: it worked. Check it out below!
