***** 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!!

GETTING STARTED

The dashboard displays telemetry values for the current trip.  Tap Start to start a new trip or continue the current one.  Starting a new trip automatically saves all of the trip data, and saved trips can be viewed via the Settings menu.

An animation is shown while finding your location, after which GPS signal strength is shown as 1-5 bars (more bars is better).

Tap the signal indicator to stop recording data.

For more information please consult the built-in instructions.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. 

iPod Touch and Wi-Fi only iPad users NOTE! you need an external GPS receiver.

*2019-08-21*

This app is amazing. Current speed (most vehicle speedometers do not show the correct speed), location coordinates, direction of travel, everything I need. Has never quit working. The red text is perfect for nighttime use. I also like have to miles traveled so that I can log the miles for work.

Does what it says , works well and lot of features . Great app !

### 5/5 — Does it all

*2013-03-19*

I downloaded and tried put all the free and lite speedometer apps. Finally found this one that had everything I wanted. The lite version lacked one thing I wanted: mph to the tenths. The screenshot of the paid version appeared to have it so I sprung for the very reasonably priced full version. Found the tenths option in the settings. There are a lot of options in the settings of the paid version! Also contains a owners manual right in app! I'm very satisfied.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App 10/10

*2012-11-22*

I purchased this app because I wanted something that would show me altitude, speed and heading information while I drive and bike. I love that the app isn't overly complicated with lame visual graphics. The information is large, easy to read, accurate, and intuitively laid out. No gimmicks and that's huge. I'm a commercial pilot, so I can really appreciate how fast I can find the information I'm interested in. The app is easy to use and very capable. It has plenty of advanced features too, which I really enjoy using. Worth every penny.
