Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy vs OBDBoost

Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy is a versatile trip computer and GPS / OBD data monitor. The trip computer records distance and time traveled, and calculates average speeds. Using the navigation module from Harry's GPS Suite, GPS/OBD Buddy will furthermore forecast arrival times using waypoints. In addition to standard iPhone GPS functionality, GPS/OBD Buddy supports a huge set of external GPS and OBD sensors. Accessing these sensors directly, GPS/OBD Buddy gives you a detailed view not available in any other app. Like all applications from Harry's GPS Suite, Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy uses our advanced GPS Engine. We offer Harry's GPS Buddy as a technology demo for Harry's GPS Suite for free. In case you want to do more with the data shown, check out one of the Harry's LapTimer editions. FEATURES Extensive display of GPS information: speed, height, heading, slope, accuracy, GPS update rate, latitude, longitude, lateral and lineal acceleration, a nice compass, and waypoints approached; display of trip information - both continuously and from the latest starting point; trip information includes time traveled, time without movement, average speed overall and while in movement; navigation module including waypoint management, calculation of distance to waypoint, estimated time of arrival. In case a compatible OBD sensor is connected, Harry's GPS Buddy will display wheel speed, engine RPM, fuel level, voltage of electric system, coolant and oil temperatures, throttle position, fuel consumption, power and torque developed by engine. Please head to GPS/OBD Buddy's (LapTimer's) homepage on http://www.gps-laptimer.de to get information on future development, FAQs, and more snapshots.

OBD Boost uses real-time data from your car's ECU to render a realistic boost gauge wirelessly on your iOS device. You'll be surprised at how responsive this gauge is—it can be much more realistic then some OEM digital gauges! OBD Boost connects to your car via a compatible OBD-II adaptor. OBD-II adaptors are sold separately—OBDBoost is designed to work with Bluetooth adaptors that use the ELM327 chip. OBD Boost features: - Real-time data display - Smooth, 60 FPS needle animation - Two scales available: --- 30 inHg (vac) to 30 psig (boost) --- 25 inHg (vac) to 10 psig (boost) - Digital pressure readout - Adjustable response speed / smoothing - Brightness override option (for day driving) - Automatically connects when you open the app Most ELM327 Bluetooth OBD-II (OBD2) adaptors should work with this app, but I have not been able to confirm compatibility with all adaptors on the market. Please contact me if you can confirm a particular adaptor works or does not work with OBD Boost, so that I can add it to a list of compatible or incompatible models, and work to support more models in the future. *Requires compatible bluetooth OBD-II adaptor (ELM327-based) and compatible 1996 or newer vehicle. This app reads the MAP (Manifold Air Pressure) value from OBD-II to determine you current level of boost or vacuum. This gauge is not intended to give professionally-accurate readings; it is designed primarily for entertainment purposes.
