Simple Trip Meter is a precise GPS distance meter and speedometer made for rally co-drivers. It shows the exact distance you have covered, your current speed and the time — on a clean, high-contrast screen you can read at a glance. It is built around the road book. When the notes say "in 21.3 km, turn right," you need a distance you can trust, measured straight from GPS. FEATURES • Precise GPS measurement of the distance traveled — kilometers or miles, following your phone's region settings • Current speed (km/h or mph) and an accurate clock • One-tap correction, −100 m or +100 m, to keep in step with your road book • Reset protected by a confirmation, so the trip is never cleared by accident • Keeps measuring in the background, screen kept awake during a stage • Stops on its own after five hours in the background to spare battery • Completely offline — no account, no network, no advertising • English and Russian Made for rally, useful well beyond it. The same dependable distance serves regularity and classic-car rallies, off-road and enduro riding, navigation runs and car-club outings — or any journey where you simply want an exact count of the kilometers.
