Limit your Speed and Increase your Safety with Speed Limit Alarm App. A simple and fully-functional speed limit application that keeps you alert of over speeding and reminds you to slow down your vehicle. This safety application is featured with real-time speed calculation and plays an alarm as soon as your vehicle’s speed exceeds a specified speed. The application built-in user-friendly interface where users can simply set speed limit, select audio sound and duration for the alert alarm. It offers customized functionality for adding multiple alarms and let users freely enable/disable alarms as and when needed. We suggest that if your city’s has a speed limit like 60 Km/h set an alarm for 55 km/h so it plays before you exceed the speed limit. Also this app uses GPS signals for tracking, if for some reason that signal gets dropped the speed shown might not be accurate. NOTE: Only enabled alarm will execute based on the measurement mode chosen i.e. Km/h or M/h While setting alarms, there must be a minimum difference of 10 between two alarms. Eg. If an alarm is set for 60km/hr, then other alarm can be set for either for 70km/hr or 50km/hr. This is to ensure there is little overlap of sound.
