Lince GPS é um programa para sinalizar fiscalização eletrônica (pardais) e pontos perigosos. Além disso, também é um computador de bordo. Com interface fácil e intuitiva, é possível marcar pontos desejados e a velocidade máxima permitida da via. Ao se aproximar de um ponto marcado, um aviso visual o alertará da aproximação. Caso você esteja acima da velocidade, um aviso sonoro também será emitido. Além de ser possível marcar os próprios pontos, podem-se contratar os pontos de controle de velocidade da Robotron. Pagando-se uma pequena anuidade, têm-se atualizações mensais de pontos de diversas cidades brasileiras, feitas por uma equipe de profissionais. A atualização dos pontos da Robotron é feita pelo celular com apenas alguns toques. Instale grátis em seu iPhone e use o serviço por 7 dias. RECURSOS: - Alerta os pontos registrados apenas na pista trafegada: evita alarme falso. - Ajuste de tempo de aviso: ao invés de se escolher a distância, escolhe-se o tempo para que o alerta apareça.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer ⁺ at 4.3 against Lince GPS's 3.0. Speedometer ⁺ also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 33%) and ratings volume (2K vs 2). Lince GPS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
