## What is Dashometer?

• Comprehensive built-in instructions
• Watch the data you care about in real-time

The dashboard displays telemetry values including: location, heading, altitude, speed, distance, and elapsed time.

Tap on values to change their display mode; many have units which can also be changed with a tap - and many respond to a long-tap to allow further configuration.

***** mike - v11.1 - Dec 27, 2018
I bought this app because i needed one that showed magnetic heading, as well as groundspeed for my experimental airplane. Wow, it does so much more, and displays in landscape or portrait. Can change display colors, review flight later with speed, times and altitudes, and the instructions are fantastic, great product, worth a lot more than I paid for it!!

***** Malix90x – Jun 7, 2016
It is the best in its genre as it is the most complete! 
So many thanks to the developer :)

The information is large, easy to read, accurate, and intuitively laid out. The
