SpeedTrace Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks the eight other dials β plus every dial added in future, at no extra cost β along with HUD mode, 0β100 timing and the color palettes. Individual dials can also be bought on their own. β PRIVACY FIRST β SpeedTrace has no servers and no accounts. Your trips, routes and speed history are stored only on your device and in your own iCloud. We don't collect analytics, we don't track you, and we never sell your data. The optional Speed Limit feature is the only thing that touches the network β and only when you turn it on. β QUESTIONS? WE ANSWER β Something not working, or a feature you wish existed? Email support@mzjpg.com β a real person reads every message and replies, usually within a day. And if SpeedTrace has earned its place on your home screen, a rating or a few words of review means a lot to an independent developer. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. SpeedTrace only uses background location while you're actively recording a trip.
