About

True Velocity

Read full description

True Velocity is a GPS speedometer for iPhone with a physically-tuned analogue dial, accurate real-world speed readings, optional trip recording, and a choice of dashboard styles. Analogue dial with accurate GPS speed: The Classic dial is modelled on a retro instrument with a chrome bezel, cream face, and red needle. GPS accuracy is displayed live on the face so you always know how reliable the current reading is. A low-pass filter with GPS-accuracy-aware time constants keeps the needle smooth without sacrificing responsiveness. Choose your dashboard: Three full-grain leather backgrounds — Black, Oxblood, and Tan — give the app the feel of a real car interior. Switch instantly from swiping the background, or change from settings. Choose your dial: Pick from three analogue dial styles: Classic, Cerise, and Frost. Each style has its own instrument-cluster look, matching digital speed readout, and live glow/tint treatment. Switch instantly from swiping the dial, or change from settings. Dashboards and Backgrounds are independently changeable. Trip recording: Tap the record button to log a journey. Distance uses speed integration rather than coordinate deltas, so it handles GPS jitter accurately. Pause and resume mid-journey if you stop along the way. Saved trips show duration, distance, average speed, and max speed, with optional Apple Maps route visualization for journeys recorded with map data enabled. No account, no subscription: A 7-day free trial gives you full access to every feature. A one-time lifetime purchase unlocks the app permanently across all your devices via iCloud. Supports mph and km/h. Optimised for iPhone in portrait and landscape.
