Boring Speedometer

Read full description

Boring Speedometer? Boring like a Tesla. This isn't another boring speedometer with a boring needle. It's a buddy in your pocket who comments on how you drive. β€” WHAT IT DOES β€” Shows your speed. Big neon numbers. The end. Well... almost the end. Below the numbers you get quips that change every two-three seconds depending on how fast you're going. At 50 it tells you you're doing it right. At 130 it gives you a nod. At 160 it starts getting nervous. At 200 it just goes silent β€” what's even left to say? β€” QUIPS ARE THE HEART OF THE APP β€” Hundreds of one-liners for every speed range. Friendly, a bit cheeky, sometimes absurd. No lectures, no "drive safely young man". More like "even a snail just overtook you" when you've been sitting at that red light too long. Quips never repeat back-to-back. Speed up or slow down and you get a fresh one. Every speed has its own vibe β€” one tone at 50, another at 100, another at 180, where the vibe starts to crack a little. β€” A DESIGN THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY β€” Dark futuristic UI. Neon. Silence. Nothing blinks for no reason, nothing jumps in your face. The speedometer smoothly shifts color as you go, from cool tones to hot. At 130 you start seeing yellow. At 170, red. At 200... well, you won't really notice anyway. β€” FOUR WAYS TO MOVE β€” Not just driving. Boring Speedometer handles: - Car β€” 0–200 km/h - Bike β€” 0–60 km/h - Walking β€” 0–20 km/h - Train β€” 0–200 km/h Each mode has its own quips. On a bike nobody tells you "Fast & Furious is calling". On a train nobody mentions your insurance premium. β€” WHAT YOU WON'T FIND HERE β€” - No ads in the middle of your drive - No premium subscription to unlock a color - No "share to Facebook" buttons - No 17-screen tutorial on first launch - No "Hey! Haven't seen you in a while!" notifications You open it. You drive. The app talks back. The end. β€” TWELVE LANGUAGES β€” English, Czech, and ten more. The quips aren't Google-translated β€” every language has its own pool, written with a feel for local humor. β€” GPS & PRIVACY β€” Speed is calculated from GPS right on your phone. We don't store anything, we don't send anything to a server, we don't sell your data to anyone. Where you drive stays with you. β€” SETTINGS β€” - km/h or mph - Mode selector: car, bike, walking, train - Language picker - Stats: top speed, distance covered β€” stored locally β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Boring Speedometer. Probably the most boring name for probably the least boring speedometer on the App Store. Download. Drive. Get talked at.

About

GNSS Planning Map

Features
Read full description

GNSS Planning Map shows you, before you leave the office, when and where satellite geometry (DOP) will be good or poor. Drag a time-travel slider and watch a DOP heatmap turn green or red across the map β€” so you never arrive on site only to find the constellation is too weak to get a fix. Try every feature free for the first 30 days, right on your phone. [ Main features ] - DOP forecast heatmap: see how PDOP and the visible-satellite count change through the day across an area, from green (good) to red (poor). - Time-travel slider: jump to "next Thursday 14:30" and read the sky instantly. Orbits come from CelesTrak TLE with SGP4/SDP4 propagation. - Tap any point for an instant GO / NO-GO: PDOP, satellite count, and a per-constellation breakdown for that exact site and time. - Configurable rules: turn each constellation on/off (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC), set the elevation mask, minimum satellites and a PDOP limit. Nine built-in presets: GPS only, GPS + GLONASS, All GNSS, Public survey (JP), Survey / Cadastral, GIS / Mapping, Maritime / Navigation, UAV / Drone, Photogrammetry / 3D. - PDF work-order / evidence export: save a site and its recommended work windows as a one-page report. - Field-ready: once data is cached the forecast works offline. [ Who it is for ] Land surveyors, UAV / drone mapping and inspection teams, and GIS / infrastructure crews who plan RTK/PPK sessions and want to avoid wasted trips and reschedules. [ Honest notes ] The core forecast (orbits to DOP to heatmap) is global and works anywhere. This app is a planning aid based on orbital prediction; it does not guarantee field results β€” always verify on site.
