GPS Speedometer Compass

Read full description

Vane is a full instrument cluster for your iPhone: a large head-up speedometer, a digital compass, a barometric altimeter, a spirit level and your live position in five coordinate formats. Every reading says which sensor it came from. When the satellite signal drops, in a tunnel, a parking garage or a train, Vane says so: the compass and the barometric altimeter keep reading, the step counter keeps your walking pace, and the speedometer shows dashes rather than a guess. SPEEDOMETER • Large, legible speed in km/h, mph, knots or m/s • Head-up display that mirrors onto the windshield at night • Speed alert with a buzz when you go over • Trip recording: distance, moving time, average, top speed and climb • Odometer and a mileage log by purpose, exported as CSV or PDF COMPASS • Magnetic or true north, with the declination cached so it stays true underground • Bearing lock, and a go-to arrow that points at a mark in a straight line • Sun compass: dawn, dusk, sunrise and sunset where you are • Anchor alarm for the boat ALTIMETER AND BAROMETER • Barometric altitude that keeps reading in a train, a lift or a plane cabin • Calibrate to a known elevation or the local sea level pressure • 48-hour pressure graph with a three-hour trend and a falling-pressure warning • Ski day: runs, vertical and lifts read off the barometer SPIRIT LEVEL • Surface and edge modes, degrees or percent, zero on any surface MARKS AND MAPS • Mark where you parked and walk back to it • Save any place by name, address or coordinate: decimal, degrees-minutes, DMS, UTM, MGRS • Import GPX routes and follow them; export any trip as GPX • A built-in map that works with no network: roads, railways and towns, with your track and marks on it WIDGETS, WATCH AND SIRI • Lock Screen Live Activity while a trip records • Apple Watch app with speed, heading and altitude on the wrist, and walks, hikes, runs and rides saved to the Health app as workouts with their route, and to Vane on your iPhone as trips • Siri: mark my position, where did I park, start a trip FREE, AND NO ADS The speedometer, compass, altimeter, level, head-up display, offline map and trip recording are free. There are no ads. Vane Pro adds: • Every trip kept • Unlimited marks • iCloud sync • Automatic drive recording • Your own maps • Mileage log export • Trip insights • Passport • GPX export and trip pictures • Speed alert • UTM and MGRS grids, sighted marks • Light planner • Backtrack • Anchor alarm Vane Pro is a yearly or monthly subscription that renews automatically, or a one-time purchase.

Busan Metro Map

Features
Read full description

The whole Busan metro in one app — lines 1 to 4, the Busan–Gimhae light rail and the Donghae line. Real published timetables for every station and the fastest route between any two, with no internet needed. ■ Timetables for all 149 stations Not just the big interchanges. Every station on all six lines has a timetable, with separate weekday, Saturday and holiday services, and the first and last train of the day to the minute. ■ A timetable per destination, not per direction Trains from the same platform do not all go to the same place. Line 2 at Seomyeon is split into Jangsan, Yangsan and Hopo services, so you look at the trains you can actually take. ■ Fast routes Enter where you are and where you are going. Two routes come back side by side: · Fastest · Fewest transfers Departure, arrival, total time and number of changes, together on one screen, so you can see what the trade is. ■ Two maps, not one A diagram with the lines straightened, and a map that draws every station where it really is. Both are in the app; switch whenever you like. It opens on the diagram, where names never collide and interchanges read at a glance. Switch to the real map to see how the Nakdong River runs and how far Haeundae really is. Pinch to zoom, smoothly. ■ Korail interchanges done properly Bujeon on the Donghae line and Bujeon on Line 1 are separate buildings 360 m apart. This app shows them as two stations and works out the real walk between them: Gyodae 5 min, Bujeon 7 min, BEXCO 8 min, Geoje 4 min. ■ Live journey guidance Pick a route, start the journey, and the app keeps telling you the next station, how many stops are left, and where to change. You will not miss your stop on a line you do not know. ■ Works without internet The map, the stations and the timetables are all stored on your phone. When the signal drops on an underground platform, routing and timetables keep working. ■ 17 languages 한국어, English, 中文, 日本語, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, O'zbekcha, Filipino, Русский, नेपाली, Khmer, Bahasa Indonesia, Монгол, Myanmar, বাংলা, Sinhala, Қазақша. Station names are a separate setting. Read the app in your own language and keep station names in Hangul, so they match the signs on the platform. ■ What is covered 149 stations, 6 lines. Line 1 (Nopo–Dadaepo Beach), Line 2 (Jangsan–Yangsan), Line 3 (Suyeong–Daejeo), Line 4 (Minam–Anpyeong), Busan–Gimhae Light Rail (Sasang–Kaya University), Donghae Line (Bujeon–Taehwagang). From Seomyeon, Busan Station, Nampo, Haeundae, Gwangan, Centum City, Dongnae and Sasang out to Gimhae Airport, Gijang and Taehwagang in Ulsan. ■ Good for · Checking the last train before you miss it · The light rail timetable on the way to Gimhae Airport · A first trip to Haeundae or Gwangalli · Underground platforms with no signal · Showing the map to a visitor who has just arrived ■ No sign-in No account, no name, no phone number. Saved routes and settings stay on your phone and are sent nowhere. The app does not ask for your location. ■ Data sources Built with public data from the Korea National Railway (전국 도시철도 운행정보). Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Timetables come from the published annual dataset, so they can be a minute or two out after the operator retimes a service. Live train positions are not shown, because Busan Transportation Corporation does not publish them. Free, with ads.
