Velocity shows your speed, your altitude, and the wind you are riding into. Nothing leaves your phone. SPEED AND ALTITUDE Big numbers you can read from a mount. Show mph, km/h, or both at the same time. Smoothing filters out GPS jitter at low speed. Altitude comes from GPS fused with your iPhone barometer. WIND COMPASS A dial shows wind direction relative to your heading, so you know if you are pushing into a headwind or getting a shove from behind. Built for cyclists and motorcyclists. LANDSCAPE MODE Rotate the phone for a full-width readout on a handlebar or dash mount. VEHICLE PROFILES Pick Car / Motorcycle, Cycling, or Other. Or let Auto Detect read your motion sensors and tune GPS for you. WEATHER Current conditions and a 6-hour forecast from Apple Weather. TRIP RECORDING Record a ride, then review distance, duration, average and top speed, altitude range, a route map, and speed and elevation charts. PRIVACY No account. No login. No analytics. No ads. Your location and trip history stay on your iPhone. The one exception is your current coordinate, sent to Apple Weather to fetch conditions, and only while the weather features are on. Battery Saver drops GPS accuracy to stretch a long ride. Dark mode throughout.
