Abstract: A motion activated parking guide for automatically displaying the distance between a stationary obstruction and a vehicle is disclosed. A telemetry module is used to store and track position data from range sensors. The telemetry module uses the stored data to calculate the velocity of the moving object in view. When motion is detected the telemetry module will display distance information in numeric form to the vehicle driver. Input elements are provided to the telemetry module to allow the vehicle driver to configure the numeric display properties. A power pack is provided for electrical components.
