Get clearer speed, route and driving feedback in a couple of taps with GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker. Use live mph, HUD alerts and trip records when your dashboard is not enough. GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker helps you check speed, follow limits and review each journey without extra hardware. It is built for everyday driving, motorbike rides, cycling, running, boating and other movement where a simple spd readout, timer, distance view and route log can be useful. SMART DRIVING INSIGHTS · Speeding heatmap for repeated risk areas · Hard braking heatmap after each route · Driving smoothness and safety score · G-force meter for braking and cornering · Peak G-force and sharp movement notes · Weather-aware road condition advice · Wet road, ice, fog and wind prompts · Route replay with speed-coloured track · Stops, peak speed and route scrubber · Attempt history for 0-60 and 0-100 · Speed-time graph with auto start · Best run saved for later comparison LIVE SPEED TOOLS · Large GPS speedometer for quick reading · Smart speed limit alerts on the road · Voice warnings before you drift over limit · Speed camera alerts where available · HUD windshield mode for night driving · Picture-in-Picture speed overlay · Car, motorcycle, bicycle and running modes · Boat and airplane speed layouts · Custom dashboard skins for clear viewing · Odometer, mileage log and tripmeter · Live map with compass and distance · Background tracking with power-saving mode · Apple Watch speed, distance and trip time · Over-limit alerts on your wrist With GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker, you can keep the important numbers visible without switching between several screens. The app combines live speed, limit warnings, route history and driving behaviour notes in one place, so you can decide what to check now and what to review later. Use the big mph display for a clean current reading. Switch to heads-up mode when you want the speed reflected on the windscreen. Keep Picture-in-Picture active if you need a small speed panel while using another navigation view. Trip recording is useful when you want more than a momentary number. GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker can save duration, distance, stops, peak speed and route details. After the journey, route replay lets you move through the drive with a scrubber and see where speed changed along the road. The acceleration tools are made for measured runs, not guesswork. Start a 0-60 or 0-100 attempt, let auto start handle the launch, then review the timer, speed-time graph, previous attempts and your best run. It also helps when comparing a-speed changes after maintenance or different conditions. How it works Open GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker, choose the movement mode and allow location access. The app uses GPS data to calculate live speed, distance and route information. Accuracy may vary with signal quality, tunnels, tall buildings, device placement and local road data. Turn on the alerts you want before you set off. You can use voice speed warnings, limit prompts, camera notices, HUD mode, live map tracking or Apple Watch companion views. For longer journeys, background trip tracking and power-saving mode help keep the essentials running. Premium access unlocks the extended set of tracking, dashboard, alert and history tools inside GPS Speedometer: MPH Tracker. If you choose a subscription, it renews on its own unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends; you can manage or cancel it from your account settings.

Maps Telemetry turns your iPhone into a professional-grade GPS and sensor telemetry unit that publishes live data over MQTT. PRICING Free to download and use. A subscription model is planned for a future update — Free, Standard ($4.99/mo · $39.99/yr), and Fleet ($14.99/mo) tiers. If you are using the app before subscriptions launch, all features you use today will remain free permanently. BACKGROUND TELEMETRY GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and noise data are published continuously via MQTT — even with the screen off. Every payload includes position, speed, altitude, heading, HAE, circular error (CE), and linear error (LE) for high-accuracy workflows. ROAD MAPPING Record GPS traces with per-point road grade (slope %) and roughness (m/s²) sampled at maximum sensor rate. Review results as a colour-coded 3D route in MapLibre — toggle between grade and roughness overlays. Choose from five transport modes: Driving, Walking, Cycling, Boat, or Train. Export to GPX, CSV, GeoJSON, or KML for any GIS tool. LIVE TRAFFIC CAMERAS Real-time 511 traffic cameras for Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia overlaid on the map. Tap a camera and swipe between multiple angles at the same intersection. Quebec streams live MP4 video; other provinces show refreshing JPEG stills. ROAD ALERTS Real-time 511 road conditions for ON, QC, BC, and AB overlaid on the map. National NAAD emergency alerts included. Speed camera, red-light camera, school zone, and playground zone warnings as you approach. NAVIGATION Turn-by-turn with auto-advancing steps, live distance countdown, automatic off-route detection and rerouting. Live speed-limit display in the nav panel. Long-press any road to preview a re-route through it. Reorder, optimise, and add stops mid-route. VEHICLE PROFILES Save multiple vehicles (car, van, truck, motorcycle, EV, EV truck). Per-vehicle dimensions: length, height, width, weight, trailer, fuel type, icon. Active vehicle drives height- and weight-aware routing — avoid restricted roads and get warned when a route exceeds your vehicle's limits. CARPLAY Dedicated CarPlay dashboard with live telemetry, navigation, and quick actions: drop a Waypoint, Report an incident (Pothole / Hazard / Police / Accident), End route. During navigation, three upcoming directions are visible at once (NOW · NEXT · AFTER) plus a Steps button for the full list. 2D & 3D MAPS MapLibre 2D and Apple Maps 3D with live position tracking, heading-follow, and terrain. Long-press the map for Go Here, Add a Stop, or Report an Event. Light, Dark, or System theme. ROAD EVENT DETECTION Automatic detection of potholes, hard braking, hard acceleration, and swerve events using the IMU. Trip report and drive score after each session. Events are timestamped and geotagged. EXPORT Share sessions as GPX, CSV, GeoJSON, or KML via AirDrop, Mail, or Files. Import GPX routes from Files or AirDrop. PRIVACY By default, telemetry is published to a secure MQTT service operated by the developer in Canada (AWS IoT). No data is sold or shared with third parties. Data is retained for up to 90 days and then deleted automatically. You can request immediate deletion or a copy of your data at any time by emailing support@mapgeometrics.com.
