Your speed, straight from GPS.
Dash is a GPS speedometer for car, bike, cycling and walking. Big digits or an analog gauge, a mirrored HUD for your windshield, a speed limit alert and trips that keep recording with the screen off.
Everything a speedometer should do
No maps to download, no account, no connection needed.
Digits or gauge
A huge digital readout, or an analog dial with a needle. Switch between km/h, mph and knots at any time.
Speed limit alert
Set your limit. Dash turns the speed red and beeps and vibrates when you go over, without flickering around the limit.
Trips with the screen off
Start, pause and stop. A foreground service keeps recording and shows your live speed in the notification.
Route and speed chart
Every trip shows its route as a clean line and a speed-over-time chart, drawn on your phone with no map tiles.
Odometer and GPX
A running total of every trip, and one tap to export any trip as a GPX file to share or import elsewhere.
Trustworthy numbers
Poor GPS fixes and jumps are thrown out, speed is smoothed, and standing still really reads zero.
HUD mode for the windshield
Lay your phone flat on the dashboard and the speed reflects in the glass.
- Tap the speedometer icon in the top bar of the home screen.
- Dash goes landscape with pure black, giant mirrored digits and full screen brightness.
- Place the phone face up under the windshield. The digits read the right way round in the reflection. Use the flip button if you want them unmirrored.
Permissions and privacy
Your trips stay on your phone. The only network call is the update check in Settings.
