The universal GPS tripmaster for off-road, overland and rally — the full 3pMaster experience on iPhone and, at its best, on iPad. More on screen, on-screen speeds, and precision timers for the demanding navigator. Trusted by off-roaders, overlanders and ralliers since 2013. 3pMaster Pro is one app for every device. On iPad, the larger screen shows more at once — speeds, timing, and distance side by side — so your co-driver reads everything without swiping. Follow your paper or printed roadbook while the app handles the numbers. WHY PRO • Universal app — one purchase, runs on both iPhone and iPad • iPad layout shows more data at a glance: actual speed, average speed, and travel time • Precision timers on iPad — choose seconds, tenths, hundredths, or thousandths • Use it in portrait or landscape on iPad, not just one way • Show only what you need — show or hide the inclinometer and extra readouts to keep the screen clean • Everything in the standard 3pMaster, on the device you bring to the start line IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Dutch — built with real rally terminology, not machine translation. A CLEAR DRIVING DASHBOARD • Calm, readable layout with big numbers that read at a glance • Large in-drive buttons and dialogs, easy to use while moving • A clearer compass to guide your direction • Energy saving for longer trips PRECISE DISTANCE • Partial and total distance, in kilometers or miles • Adjust the odometer any time — type a new value or use the +/- buttons • Reverse: missed a turn? Drive back and the distance subtracts automatically • Pause when you need to stop the trail • Quick restart to begin the next section with a single tap • Choose 2 or 3 decimals STAY INFORMED, HANDS ON THE WHEEL • Voice announcements for current speed, partial and total distance, at your chosen frequency • Distance beep every "x" km/miles • Audio confirmation for the navigation buttons • Control everything hands-free with Flic and Flic 2 wireless buttons INCLINOMETER • Clear roll and pitch gauges, with your own photo behind them • Inclination alerts when slope passes your limit, or changes too suddenly TRACKS & MAPS • See your track in real time on the map • iCloud sync — record on one device, find your tracks on all of them • Automatic track names based on where you started and finished • Save tracks automatically or one by one, with your own names and notes • Export to GPX or KML • Turn any trip into a clean, great-looking map image — ready to share on social BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU DRIVE • Works with the internal GPS (iPhone and Cellular iPad) or external receivers (tested with Garmin GLO 2 and Dual XGPS150A) • Test GPS reception any time and set the accuracy threshold • Two-finger swipe and double-tap options to prevent accidental changes • Reorganized Settings — choose your announcement voice and coordinate format • In-app tutorial to get you started Need a feature, or hit a problem? We read every message — reach us at support@3pmaster.com or from within the app. Note: 3pMaster Pro needs a device with GPS. On a Wi-Fi-only iPad it requires an external GPS receiver. A data connection is only needed for maps. Continued GPS use in the background can decrease battery life. For regularity (TSD/CAST) rallying, roadbook navigation and open-road timing, see 3pRally.
