About

MiniMap HUD

Features
Read full description

MiniMap is a driving HUD. A circular radar shows where you are, nearby community reports, and the road ahead. See police, cameras, and hazards as dots on the map. Wanted stars light up when a patrol is about 10 seconds away at your current speed. A CarPlay Police ahead banner can warn you in the car. Turn-by-turn is optional. Leave it off for a GTA-style arrow on the rim, or turn it on for a green route, maneuver banner, lane hints, and spoken guidance on iPhone and CarPlay. On CarPlay, the radar lives on the car screen. The phone stays a settings deck. Sign in with Apple, or explore without an account. Location is used to place you on the map and keep guidance alive if the phone locks mid-drive. Report data is community-sourced and provided as-is. Always follow the road and local law.
