Turn your phone into a dashboard: speed, live maps, music, calls, and today's calendar, all in one glance. Perfect if your car's screen looks like it's stuck in the last century, or doesn't have one. There are two dashboards to choose from. The minimal one is a speed dial, a live map, and whatever's playing, nothing else on screen. The full one is a proper home screen with Maps, Music, Now Playing, Phone, Contacts, Calendar, and Settings, your own photo behind all of it. Switch between them whenever you like. WHAT YOU GET - Speed in km/h or mph, your choice. - Live speed limits, right on your screen. - Speed camera alerts. - A live map, no destination needed. - Turn-by-turn directions that reroute the second you miss a turn. - Confusing interchange ahead? The 3D map makes it obvious. - Search a place, compare routes, see the real distance and time. - Fuel, food, and parking nearby, one tap each. - Your whole Apple Music library, right there. - Calls and contacts without switching apps. - Today's calendar. - Six wallpapers behind the dashboard, or any photo you want. - The screen stays on while you drive. NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Driven doesn't log where you go, and your contacts and calendar never leave your phone. Speed camera warnings are turned off by default where warning drivers about cameras is restricted, including Germany, France, and Switzerland. Local rules still apply. Camera and speed limit data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, licensed under the ODbL. Apple Music and Apple Maps are trademarks of Apple Inc, registered in the U.S. and other countries and regions. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
