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.
RallyMate

Rallymate is the tripmeter, map, and notebook for tourist car rallies — where a paper roadbook tells you where to turn, but you want precise digital distance, a live trace of your route, and notes pinned exactly where things happen. The roadbook stays in charge. Rallymate is the tripmeter on the dash and the notepad beside it: glanceable, forgiving, quiet. The whole bottom of the screen is one giant reset target, so the co-pilot's thumb lands without looking down. ONE TAP TO START Open, tap START, and you're tracking. No setup, no menus. TRIPMETER Total and intermediate distance, correctable on the fly. Pause, resume, reset — never lose ground silently. Tap anywhere to zero your interval at the next reference. Live speed, average, stage time and distance always in view. LIVE MAP Your route traced behind you. Tap to drop a marker; search a place when the co-pilot loses the page. GPS-LINKED NOTES Pin a note where it happens — quiz, photo, checkpoint, hazard — with an optional photo. Review them on the map afterward and export the run as GPX or JSON. DRIVER & CO-PILOT Two cockpit layouts, one tap apart: a big readout and reset target for the driver, a notes sheet for the co-pilot. REGULARITY MODE For regularity rallies: hides the map and all speed for a clean tripmeter, and adds a chronometer for your regularity tests. Enter each test's waypoint times from the roadbook with quick scroll wheels, tap at the start and at every waypoint, and see the countdown to the next waypoint and how early or late you reached it. Results are saved with the rally, and the next rally can reuse your tests. Swipe sideways to switch between normal and regularity mode. BUILT FOR THE CAR Dark UI, the screen stays awake, and distance keeps counting even when the screen is locked or you switch apps. Haptic and sound on every reset. A rally left running overnight ends by itself, so it doesn't drain your battery. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up. Your routes and notes never leave your device — delete them anytime. Made by Corto BV, the Belgian team behind Marque42. iPhone only, built for portrait on the dashboard.
