Version 1.8. What's new?

Free speedometer has now name of "Speedometer 55 Start" to comply with the Apple requirements.

Both free and paid version 1.8 fully support iOS 11.

Main new features in this version.

Aka prove you are right or "Fortune favors the prepared!"

You can now review black box data by viewing it on a map and delve into any time span or point that data are available for. MENU > GPS Black box > "Visualize and explore" option will take you to this screen.

Using a metric screenshot here and hope to be excused for interchangeably using metric and imperial. You know the app supports both + nautical!

You can zoom, tap, drag, pan on a chart to focus on the time range or point that you want to see the data for. Move the light blue point line to see the data for the particular moment on the map.

Light blue point line counts time backwards here, as zero point is the most recent point in the black box and you are going back in its history. In the area above it, you see exact time and coordinates for the point shown. Above this you have maximum value of speed for the selected time span.

Now you can respond to any speeding accusation by selecting the time span under question and showing your max speed in it. More granularity is required? Move point line to the exact time under question!

What if you need this data for the later proof? When you open this "visualize and explore" screen app takes a snapshot of the stored in black box data to present on this screen. You can save this snapshot by tapping on a "Save" button. You can open this historical snapshot later by tapping on a "folder" button top-right on the screen.

Action button on top allows you to send or save the current snapshot or a historical snapshot data by email or save it iCloud, Dropbox, Facebook etc. When sharing method supports attachments (email, saving to note), black box csv file will be attached.

Probably good idea is to experiment with this screen, sharing and saving data before you may really need it.

Warning! App records the black box data only when it runs. Free version is not allowed to run in the background and records only when it is visible on the screen. In full version, to ensure continuous recording when needed, either use MENU > WORK IN BACKGROUND or NEW TRACK to make sure app stays working in the background. Also check that counters are not paused (MENU > RESUME COUNTERS, if you are not tracking)! Later, MENU > DON'T WORK IN BACKGROUND or STOP TRACK will make sure that app dies when not present on the screen.

Outside of emergency and speed proof scenarios, this screen can also be great for our kids recording their shorter buggy sessions in free version.

Night mode for the Google map (FULL + PARTIALLY IN FREE)

To keep you safe at night! Accessible via Advanced Settings > "Map settings" > Google map settings and then "Street map style" if you want to switch it on permanently, or there is an option at the bottom to apply the night mode for the Google map whenever main screen night mode applies. This will ensure that Google map night mode can be automatically applied when you set automatic night mode for the main screen.

FREE version users have option to have night mode for the Google map automatically applied. Safety comes first! To get to that settings screens without app offering an upgrade, use the "layers" button on the map and visit Google map settings from here, the bottom option again.

Visualizations act as a campfire around which we gather to tell stories. (Al Shalloway)

Explore your tracks by viewing them on the map and with support of a chart where you can tap/pan/zoom to focus on the time interval or any point. This is "Map + chart" option (default) in the track viewing screen:

How the app gets to the cost of the track? You enter cost parameters on the cost dash and app saves them for the each newly created track.

Try to share track images (action button > Share track image) on Facebook or via email and you'll see!

When there is no cost information on the track (may be you have not had it entered at the time of the track creation or the track is imported), app uses the current cost information you have setup.

More on track view types:

• Map + speed and altitude chart
• Map + stats
• Map + cost

There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day. (Rachel Boston)

This is done for scenarios when sound alert is not audible (a motor boat!) plus you need to be on shore before the sunset or you'll be penalized! Alerting by flashing with the digits background is good for attracting the peripheral vision.
