Read full description

Classic Tripmaster is a digital GPS tripmaster for classic car drives and touring, making it easy to track total and partial distance. The app offers: • clear meters for total and trip distance • choose 1, 2 or 3 decimal places for the distance display • a separate button to reset the trip distance • manual distance corrections • current and average speed • a choice between kilometres and miles • configurable button feedback: sound and vibration, vibration only, or off • day and night mode For the first 14 days, you can use the base app and the complete Route Map free of charge. With the optional Route Map add-on, you can view your driven route on an interactive Apple map, save trips locally and give them a recognisable name. Saved routes can be shared as GPX files for use in navigation apps that support GPX, such as OsmAnd. Sharing happens only when you choose it through the iOS share sheet. After the trial, the base app and Route Map are two separate one-time purchases. To use Route Map, the base app must also be unlocked.
