About

GPS Speedometer Compass

Features
Read full description

Vane is a full instrument cluster for your iPhone: a large head-up speedometer, a digital compass, a barometric altimeter, a spirit level and your live position in five coordinate formats. Every reading says which sensor it came from. When the satellite signal drops, in a tunnel, a parking garage or a train, Vane says so: the compass and the barometric altimeter keep reading, the step counter keeps your walking pace, and the speedometer shows dashes rather than a guess. SPEEDOMETER • Large, legible speed in km/h, mph, knots or m/s • Head-up display that mirrors onto the windshield at night • Speed alert with a buzz when you go over • Trip recording: distance, moving time, average, top speed and climb • Odometer and a mileage log by purpose, exported as CSV or PDF COMPASS • Magnetic or true north, with the declination cached so it stays true underground • Bearing lock, and a go-to arrow that points at a mark in a straight line • Sun compass: dawn, dusk, sunrise and sunset where you are • Anchor alarm for the boat ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER • Barometric altitude that keeps reading in a train, a lift or a plane cabin • Calibrate to a known elevation or the local sea level pressure • 48-hour pressure graph with a three-hour trend and a falling-pressure warning • Ski day: runs, vertical and lifts read off the barometer SPIRIT LEVEL • Surface and edge modes, degrees or percent, zero on any surface MARKS AND MAPS • Mark where you parked and walk back to it • Save any place by name, address or coordinate: decimal, degrees-minutes, DMS, UTM, MGRS • Import GPX routes and follow them; export any trip as GPX • A built-in map that works with no network: roads, railways and towns, with your track and marks on it WIDGETS, WATCH AND SIRI • Lock Screen Live Activity while a trip records • Apple Watch app with speed, heading and altitude on the wrist, and walks, hikes, runs and rides saved to the Health app as workouts with their route, and to Vane on your iPhone as trips • Siri: mark my position, where did I park, start a trip FREE, AND NO ADS The speedometer, compass, altimeter, level, head-up display, offline map and trip recording are free. There are no ads. Vane Pro adds: • Every trip kept • Unlimited marks • iCloud sync • Automatic drive recording • Your own maps • Mileage log export • Trip insights • Passport • GPX export and trip pictures • Speed alert • UTM and MGRS grids, sighted marks • Light planner • Backtrack • Anchor alarm Vane Pro is a yearly or monthly subscription that renews automatically, or a one-time purchase. A subscription is charged to your Apple Account and renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY Nothing you record is sent to Vane: it stays on your iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you turn sync on. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics. Vane sends only anonymous diagnostic reports (crashes, freezes and a daily performance summary), never your position or your trips, and you can turn them off in Settings. Keep your eyes on the road.
