DynoBox

April 18th, 2009

DynoBox$2.99 from Hans Schneider DynoBox

DynoBox is a virtual Dynamometer to measure the performance, speed and power of your car with the accelerometer (not the GPS receiver) of your iPhone. DynoBox tracks the acceleration of your car, calculates speed, distance and performance and plots it into an easily readable graph.

Choose from a wide variety of units to measure the time and speed your car achieves on the Quartermile or measure how long it takes to get to a certain speed. DynoBox can also calculate the actual power your car produces.

The calibration screen helps you to position your iPhone for maximum accuracy. Please note, that the iPhone has to be placed in a car mount to work accurately.

After each run you can review every split-second by sliding your finger over the display of your iPhone.

The last runs are saved and can be reviewed later.

In addition you will find the current lateral (sideways) force on the bottom of the screen, along with a “Max lateral force” display.

DYNOBOX USES THE MOTION SENSORS OF THE IPHONE TO DETECT THE SPEED. SO IT WILL SHOW FUNNY NUMBERS WHEN YOU HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND. YOU NEED TO ATTACH IT TO THE DASHBOARD OF YOUR CAR!

Test the performance of your Ford, GM, Chrysler, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mustang, Corvette, Viper or any other car you want. Other car performance apps are: SpeedBox and Dynolicious

+ Speed trap alerter
+ Redlight camera alerter

With iHUDisplay you can really impress your friends. What normaly is just provided in expensive cars you can now also get in your smaller cheaper car ;-)
iHUDisplay shows you the speed, direction and the present GPS-Time on a atractive Display. Just place your iPhone near the windshield and the mirrored display floats just in front of you.

- Indication of height in feets or meters
- Different colors selectable

With Version 2.0, iHUDisplay contains a perfectly integrated radar speed check for the USA and many more countries. The application uses the gps-support.eu database, which now contains locations for more than 98,000 fixed speed traps and redlight cameras.

The application gives a visual warning and (optionally) a sound warning at a good distance before the speed trap. If possible, the application simply informs you of speed checks in your direction.

To get up to date, only the dates in your region will be downloaded. To download the dates, you’ll need an Internet connection, which may require additional costs, depending on your provider.

Active radar speed checks warning devices are not allowed in every Country. Please verify the law in your Country.

Notice:

iHUDisplay uses the GPS of the iPhone 3G. You need a minimun Speed of 5 km/h - 10 km/h to ensure a suggestive Indication. Be sure, that your iPhone cannot fall off while driving. (Don’t clip the iPhone at your windshield, where it’s prohibited by law.)

aSmart HUD +SpeedCams

April 16th, 2009

aSmart HUD +SpeedCams$0.99 from Atoll Ordenadores aSmart HUD +SpeedCams

aSmartHUD+ is simple and clear vehicle digital dashboard featured by HUD mode and FIXED SPEED CAMERAS DATABASE.

It visualizies your
- current speed
- average speed,
- time,
- heading,
- altitude,
- maximum reached speed (during the current trip or all your trips), maximum altitude and maximum distance to the starting point of your trip.

The database includes an information about speed cameras in
- Europe (whole EU)
- USA
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Brazil
- South Africa
- Singapore.

Program also shows
- color coded distance to the nearest known fixed speed camera;
- it’s speed limit (if known);
- it’s position, relatively to your moving direction, what gives you an idea is the camera in front or behind you;

On approach aSmartHUD+ will give you sound and visual warning. Warning also will be given in case your speed exceeds the speed limit set for that camera.

NOTE: It’s not guaranteed all speed cameras in your area are included into the database. However, we will release database updates right after the new information will become available.

Tapping the “HUD” icon mirrors all the text, so if you position the iPhone horizontally under your car’s windscreen you can see perfectly readable half-transparent reflection of the picture displayed. We love this mode! We found it much more convenient compared to traditional car dashboards. NOTE: this mode works pretty well at night time and twilight, but on direct sunlight the screen brightness can be insufficient.

- “aSmart HUD+” can keep track on 4 speed limits, giving a warning (sound and visual) each time you crossing it. Normally, it’s legal speed limits within cities, local roads and high-speed motorways. “Never exceed speed” is the speed you should not exceed under any conditions. For example, it can be a technical limit of your vehicle or the point where government can arrest your driving license.

- “Camera” icon on the “compass” circle indicates the position of the nearest camera;
- Speed history log chart is placed on the bottom of the screen.
- Landscape and Portrait screen layouts supported.
- Three different compass styles.
- Location Info (longitude and latitude, GPS measurement precision) and some more data is available on separate screen. You can adjust transparency of the “Location Info” screen to use both views at the same time.
- “Records” screen (left upper button on the Location Info screen), where you can see your maximum reached speed (during the current trip or all of your trips), maximum altitude and maximum distance from start.
- Tap the speed indicator to switch into speed fullscreen mode. Cameras info is available there as well;
- In Preferences, you can specify different measurement units (miles per hour, kilometers per hour, knots and meters per second), display color scheme, speed log chart refresh rate and chart style (bars or dots).

IMPORTANT: for more screenshots and details visit the http://atoll-ordenadores.com website.

Limitations

- The program is running only on GPS-enabled iPhones 3G (second generation or higher) with iPhone OS 2.2 or higher. No iPod Touch, 1st-generation iPhones 2G or minor OS versions supported.

- The precision is affected by the satellite signal quality. On open-sky spaces it’s pretty good, but under other conditions can noticeably decrease. Also, after startup it requires some time to locate the necessary satellites, so during first minutes of running the measurement can be less effective. If unsure, use the program only for reference, don’t rely on it for 100%.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions about additional functionality, there is a big chance they will be implemented in next version. Please forward your requests or bug reports to requests@atoll-ordenadores.com or share your opinions at http://www.atoll-ordenadores.com/forum/.
