DashMap vs ProxiDrive

DashMap is the iPhone dash cam built for Apple CarPlay. Navigate on your car display while your mounted iPhone records in up to 4K—and keeps every drive video on-device. One App. Zero Clutter. The CarPlay Advantage Experience the Dual-Screen Setup: Mount your iPhone high for a clear 4K view of the road while your car’s built-in display handles the navigation. Seamless Sync: Search destinations and start recording directly from your dashboard. Eyes on the Road: Get turn-by-turn directions on CarPlay while your phone acts as your dedicated safety lens. Built for Explorers & Bikers Don't just follow the highway—follow your path. Route Import: Seamlessly import GPX and TCX files from your favorite planning tools. Custom Navigation: Follow specific backroads or trails while recording every mile of the journey. Pro Telemetry: High-speed GPS, heading, and live speed data are overlaid directly on your video. Privacy & Performance First We believe your data belongs to you. On-Device Storage: Every drive video stays on your iPhone. No cloud video storage or Wi-Fi transfer is required. Instant Access: No fishing for Wi-Fi or clunky companion apps. Tap, watch, and share instantly. Configurable Storage: Choose a 5, 10, 20, 40, or 60 GB video limit. When the limit is reached, DashMap removes the oldest footage first while leaving the active recording untouched. Key Features: Simultaneous 4K Recording & Navigation: Record while you drive without losing your way. CarPlay Support: Access essential navigation and recording actions from CarPlay while your mounted iPhone records the road. Advanced Route Preview: Check for toll roads and traffic before you shift into gear. Professional Overlays: Live GPS, speed, and time data embedded in your footage for insurance or sharing.

Adaptive Thermal Protection: If your iPhone gets warm, DashMap automatically lowers the recording frame rate and restores your selected rate after the device cools down. Pro Tips for Drivers: Mount it High: Use a magsafe windshield mount behind your rearview mirror for the best 4K perspective. Stay Powered: Keep your phone plugged in for long-distance trips or touring. Magnetic Mounts: Use a MagSafe-compatible mount for the fastest "mount and go" experience.

See how close you're following — before it's too late. ProxiDrive uses your iPhone's rear camera and on-device computer vision (no LiDAR, no cloud, nothing leaves your phone) to estimate the distance to the car ahead and warn you — on screen, with sound, a spoken alert, and haptics — when you're following too closely. TWO WAYS TO VIEW THE ROAD • Road view (default): live camera feed with lane markings, the tracked vehicle boxed, a top-down schematic of the road, and a HUD strip with speed, distance, time-to-collision, safety level, weather and clock. • Drive view: a minimal, distraction-free big-number distance readout. SET UP ONCE, OR NOT AT ALL ProxiDrive can now calibrate its own camera angle and mounting height automatically while you drive — no more manually lining up the horizon. A quick manual calibration screen is still there if you prefer it. YOUR RULES, YOUR UNITS Use the international 2-second/3-second following rule, build your own speed-to-distance table, or use the local regulatory table. Distances switch automatically between meters/km or feet/miles based on your region and how close the car ahead is. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Other vehicles' license plates are blurred automatically on screen (you can turn this off for dashcam-style use). Nothing is ever recorded or stored. Only a coarse, rounded location is used, for your own speed and optional weather. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS In good daylight, distance estimates are typically accurate to within about 15–25%. Accuracy drops at night, in rain, or fog — ProxiDrive lowers its confidence rather than showing a confident wrong number. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL COFFEE Every safety feature — warnings, time-to-collision, lane overlay, calibration, every distance rule — is free, forever. If you'd like to support development, buy the developer a coffee (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) to unlock two extras: the weather widget and HUD layout editing. ProxiDrive is a best-effort driving aid, not a certified safety system. It does not replace your own attention behind the wheel.
