## What is Speedometer Limit Camera?

Speed Limit App – Smarter Speed & Road Sign Detection ! It shows your current speed and the current speed limit at a glance. It uses advanced camera-based traffic and road sign detection to recognize European speed limits in real time, and enhances accuracy with map-based data from OpenStreetMap. This combination gives you highly reliable speed limit information—even when signs are missing, such as Zone 30, inner-city areas, or other implicit limits. And of course, you’ll get a clear warning when you are going too fast.


► New in the Latest Version
  •  NEW! CarPlay Support – See your speed, limits, and detections directly on your CarPlay dashboard.
  •  Redesigned Road Sign Detection – More accurate, faster, improved performance for all European road signs.
  •  Ultrawide Camera Support – Capture more of the road ahead for improved detection of traffic signs in curves or at the roadside.
  •  Improved Speedometer Design – Cleaner, more modern, and easier to read at a glance.


► How Speed Limit App Works
Speed Limit App is a powerful road sign recognition tool using a hybrid detection method:
  •  Camera-based recognition: Detects European speed limit signs using your iPhone’s camera while driving.
  •  Map-based detection: Retrieves speed limit information from OpenStreetMap for inner-city areas, zones, and roads without physical signs.
  •  Both sources are intelligently merged to give you the optimal and most reliable speed limit indication.
  •  The built-in speedometer uses GPS to determine whether you are above or below the actual limit of the last detected road sign.
Perfect for avoiding speeding, spotting missed signs, and staying informed—whether by camera-based or map-based detection.


► Limitations of Speed Limit App
Speedometer Radar Camera technology performs highly complex computer vision tasks — something once limited to mainframe computers. Therefore, some limitations apply:
  •  In low-light or adverse weather, the iPhone camera may fail to recognize certain road signs.
  •  Optimized for European road signs only, US speed limits are currently not supported.
  •  No support yet for “end of limit” signs or town/city boundary signs that may influence speed limits in some countries.
  •  Road signs in narrow turns may be missed due to limited camera visibility.
  •  Occasional missed or false detections may occur.
  •  Speedometer updates frequently.

### 1/5 — Pas de carte

*2026-04-21*

Appl pas précise : vitesse autorisée 110 km - vitesse affichée : 90 km
Il n’y a pas de carte
On ne peut pas rajouter des points dangereux

### 1/5 — Not working as described

*2026-04-10, version 2.18*

Shows on CarPlay but says I send to subscribe even though I paid for subscription.  Speed limits rarely show and wrong more than correct.

### 2/5 — worked OK, then quit. developer unresponsive.

*2026-02-28, version 2.16*

it worked marginally during the trial period, so i bought a year’s subscription.  then it stopped getting speed limit data from open maps, which every other speedometer program was able to do immediately.  emailed developer. i ran through basic troubleshooting (reboot, uninstall/reinstall) to no avail.  emailed developer a few days later. after a week i just uninstalled it and got a refund. waste of time.

### 3/5 — Bei Dunkelheit nicht brauchbar

*2025-12-02, version 2.12*

Die App funktioniert bei Tageslicht gut, ab Einbruch der Dunkelheit erkennt sie selbst bei beleuchteten Straßen gar nichts mehr. Deswegen leider nur 3 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Much improved

*2025-11-29, version 2.12*

Have had subscription version for over 1 year. Glad I stuck with it after initially poor 1 star review. Latest version a major improvement, camera now functions on uk roads so giving greater responsiveness and accuracy. Will continue to use as a vital aid in trying to stick to the myriad changes of speed limits on modern roads.

### 1/5 — Useless for my region

*2025-11-28, version 2.12*

It does not show the speed at all, it does not read the speed signs

### 1/5 — Not compatible With Carplay

*2025-10-21, version 1.95*

When it starts, Carplay crashes. You have the choice between controlling speed and reaching destination…

### 5/5 — 普通にできるね

*2025-06-29*

多分このアプリは日本で使うなら正確に測れない標識もあるかもしれんが一応あんま実用性じゃないかな日本だとでこれヨーロッパかアメリカ推奨かな

### 2/5 — Nutzung in Schweden

*2025-06-12, version 1.95*

Leider funktioniert die Erfassung der Geschwindigkeitsschilder mit der Kamera nicht. Habe alles probiert. Kamera auf S/W, mit Weitwinkel und ohne. Kein Erfolg. Darstellung wäre gut, aber ohne Kamerafunktion nicht viel wert.

### 4/5 — Installation easy Verkehrszeichenerkennung ausbaufähig

*2025-04-30*

Downloads und Installation der App war einfach gestaltet und erfolgte reibungslos. Die Verkehrszeichenerkennung ist jedoch noch ausbaufähig. Die App scheint vor allem in der Bildschirm Mitte nach Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung zu suchen, so dass bei meiner urbanen Testfahrt doch ein großer Anteil, der Schilder nicht erkannt wurde. Die App erkennt nur runde Schilder. Ein Update zum erkennen von anderen Warnschildern(Achtung) wäre wünschenswert. Fahrten auf Autobahn und Bundesstraße stehen aber noch aus.
