Roadmeter turns your iPhone into a precise, GPS-powered speedometer β€” no dashboard required. β€’ GPS-accurate speed at a glance β€” mph, km/h, or knots β€’ Speed limit alerts β€” sound, voice, or haptic the instant you go over β€’ HUD mode: your speed mirrored in the windshield after dark β€’ 8 dial styles β€” Digital, Analog, Minimal, Circuit, Night City, Brass, Cockpit, Phosphor β€” plus light, dark, night, and daylight themes β€’ Automatic trip log: distance, duration, max speed, and a map trace of your route β€’ Export any trip as GPX or CSV Calibrate Roadmeter to your exact dashboard so the number you see on your dash and the true GPS speed finally agree β€” factory dashboards commonly read a few percent high, more after a tire-size change. Everything that matters runs on your device. Roadmeter needs no account and no internet connection to work, shows no ads, and never tracks you. Your location and your trips never leave your iPhone. Whether you're keeping pace on the interstate, watching for a school-zone limit, or just curious how fast you're really going, Roadmeter gives you a clean, accurate answer at a glance. ROADMETER PRO The free version includes the digital dial, HUD mode, speed limit alerts, and one saved trip. Roadmeter Pro unlocks all dial styles and accent colors, unlimited trip history, motion analytics, and alternate app icons. Available as a yearly subscription β€” with a 3-day free trial β€” or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
