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.

RoadPartner rides along while you drive, telling you about speed cameras ahead and keeping the current limit in front of you — and, when you want it to, showing you the way there. Keep using the map app you already trust and RoadPartner sits alongside it, quietly watching the rules of the road. Or search a destination in RoadPartner itself and let it guide you turn by turn. Either way, the camera warning always comes first. CLEAR TO READ, QUIET BY DEFAULT • A large speed dial with four faces, readable day or night • The limit always sits in the same place, so a glance becomes a habit • When the limit is not known it shows a dash — never an invented number • Warnings appear around the dial, so your eyes stay where they were A MAP, AND DIRECTIONS WHEN YOU ASK Turn on the drive map and one swipe replaces the dial with a map while the limit and road names stay put; a second swipe goes full screen. Search for a destination to see the whole route and every alternative at once, the distance left and when you will arrive. Start the route and RoadPartner speaks each turn as it comes, re-plans quietly if you leave the line, and tells you when you have arrived. Search understands how Taiwan writes addresses: type just a road name to see same-named roads nearest first, tap one to fill in the district, then add the number. Full-width digits, section numbers, sub-numbers and floors are all tolerated — and when a house number is not on the map, it says so and offers the road or lane instead. The camera warning is never talked over. If a turn instruction and a warning arrive together, the warning wins and the turn is repeated when it matters. DASH CAMERA Three-minute clips, oldest replaced automatically, with a storage cap you choose and a timestamp burned into the picture. If the phone gets hot, recording steps down or pauses and says so plainly — location accuracy always comes first. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY RoadPartner is an aid, not a substitute for your own judgement. Follow the signs and signals in front of you, and keep your eyes on the road.
