VueSpeed

Read full description

VueSpeed is a clean, distraction-free speedometer for the road. The dashboard shows your current speed in a sleek dark design, with automatic day/night switching based on the light sensor and sunset. Going too fast? The speed limit is always visible and the needle color warns you instantly. No digital dashboard? No problem. VueSpeed is the perfect co-driver for classic cars and oldtimers — and for modern cars where the speedometer is hidden in a central screen, like the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. FEATURES • Real-time speedometer with Live Activity on Dynamic Island and Lock Screen • Automatic trip detection via Bluetooth car kit or speed threshold • Trip history with map, elevation profile, and speed line • Merge trips: combine separate trips from one journey into a single overview • HUD mode: mirrored display for your windscreen • Night Panel™: inspired by Saab's Night Panel — dims everything except your speed • Speed limits via OpenStreetMap, always up-to-date • km/h or mph, your choice • No ads Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
