Since 2015, Speedlimit 88 GPS Speedometer has been the goto speedometer app for your iPhone and iPad ¹ designed to look like Australian (and probably other) speed limit signs. Perfect for when you're driving your car, riding on your bicycle, jet ski, or even on the luge for a quick commute down the mountain - basically any vehicle you can ride under the sky. OK, runners can use it too. Does not work in tunnels... This amazing app has 6+1, yes SIX PLUS ONE features! Always free: 1. Your GPS detected speed in a Big. Red. Circle. 2. Speed in km/h 2. Speed in miles per hour 3. A day theme 4. A night theme (tap the speed reading to toggle) 6. And last but not least, an accuracy indicator that changes from green to orange to red (hold on that's three separate features right there) to show the GPS location accuracy. If it's not green, the speed accuracy will reduce and update less frequently. You're free to test drive the Map feature for 30 minutes, then an inexpensive In App purchase for unlimited use with NO RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION. If you won't use the map but want to give me a small tip, please buy. I'm just one guy - not a company. Here's what you can do with the map: 1. Tap the map button to enable the map. At the same time as the speedometer. Seriously. - Tap again to toggle to a smaller speedo size, and tap one more time to hide the map 2. View your current location on the map, with or without traffic, or in satellite mode 3. Drag to browse around the map and see businesses and other points of interest 4. Tap the location button to recenter the map on your location 5. Tap the location button again to rotate the map to follow the direction you are going 6. Switch between 2D and 3D mode That's at least 6 more features. I've run out of fingers to count them all! Do you have other feature requests? Please email me at support@thomases.id.au. I'd love to hear from you. * To have access to the GPS please grant permission to access your location - like all other navigation apps. * Use of the map will require a cellular or wifi data connection. ¹ Accurate updates of the GPS (and your speed) require a cellular enabled device - wifi only iPads will not update the speed frequently. Please note that the speed displayed is only as accurate as the speed reading in your iPhone. This app is not a legal speed measuring device and should not be used as a substitute for your car's speedometer. Car speedometers are often inaccurate too.

Traffic Sign Camera helps you see your current speed and the detected speed limit at a glance while you drive. It combines live camera recognition with map-based speed-limit lookup from OpenStreetMap, then shows the result in a clear driving display with a GPS speedometer. ► Top Features • Live camera-based recognition of European speed limit signs. • OpenStreetMap speed-limit lookup for roads, city areas, zones, and places where physical signs may be missing. • Smart merging of camera and map sources into one overall speed-limit display. • GPS speedometer with color feedback when you approach or exceed the current limit. • Sound alerts for newly detected signs and overspeed warnings. • CarPlay support for viewing speed and limit information on your dashboard. • Configurable km/h or mph units, speed tolerance, warning threshold, camera mode, and map query interval. • Ultra wide camera support on compatible iPhones for a broader view of roadside signs. ► How It Works Traffic Sign Camera watches the road ahead with your iPhone camera, finds possible speed-limit signs with on-device machine learning, and reads the sign value with Vision text recognition. At the same time, it can use your current location and course to request map-based speed-limit data. The app combines both sources so you can keep your eyes on one simple limit display. ► Important Limitations Traffic Sign Camera is a driver assistance tool, not a replacement for your attention or local traffic law. • Optimized for European speed limit signs. US speed limits are not currently supported. • Poor lighting, bad weather, dirty windows, unusual signs, or narrow curves can reduce camera recognition quality. • The app does not currently detect every end-of-limit, town boundary, or special-case road rule. • Map data depends on OpenStreetMap coverage and an internet connection. • Missed or incorrect detections can occur. Always follow posted signs and local rules. ► Notes from the Developer If you like Traffic Sign Camera, a rating helps a lot.
