Description:
SpeedBox displays the current speed and distance that you're traveling at, by utilizing the iPhone 3G's built in GPS receiver. * mph and km/h display * analog and digital SPEEDOMETERS * digital COMPASS * 4 different analog speedometer styles and colors * mirrored display to see the speed in your car's windshield. This HUD view is usually only available in expensive luxury cars * ODOMETER to measure distance traveled * black background for easy readability * CHART of the recently traveled speed * WARNIN SIGNAL to warn you when driving too fast * adjustable warning threshold We are very proud and happy to receive good reviews from our customers: ★★★★★ by kurtonic "Awsome!!! The best speed app on iphone" ★★★★★ by Darekakuta "Just what I needed. My '58 chev's speedo doesn't work. This did the trick." ★★★★★ by Rawd "Great My 79 Firebird speedo only goes to 140 kmh. ;). This worked perfectly." ★★★★★ "Within 1 mile per hour +/- Great Job!" by Mirko9000 "Must have! Worth the money, works as advertised." SpeedBox was one of the very early Speedometer-Apps for the iPhone. Take advantage of our great experience and refined algorithms that can get a much greater accuracy from the iPhone then a lot of other programs. We regularly update our application to make it even more accurate and usable. Please note that due to the iPhone's limited GPS reception quality the application works best at speeds from 10-20 km/h upwards. The "GPS strength" indicator should at least show 3 yellow bars. Modern cars often have windscreen which can lower the GPS reception quality. Please allow the application up to a minute to find enough satellites to work correctly. Users have already used our application to verify the accuracy of their car's speedometer or they tried measuring the speed they achieved while skiing. Can you come up with more ideas? How about measuring the speed of the airplane you travel with? Please note that the compass only works when you are moving. The iPhone does not have a built in compass, so it can't display the direction when you just turn the iPhone around. FEEDBACK: If you've got any wishes or suggestions for new features, please let us know with the contact form on this application's website (see link below). We will be more then happy to integrate features our users want. We are already working on the next update!

HEADS UP DISPLAY! Love the updates. Constantly adding to this App only makes it better.  By: mx14 - Aug 14, 2009 Version: 2.3 This App has come a long way since its inception and keeps getting better with every update. PROS: Heads up display is ingenious.(Hit HUD in settings and lay it on your dashboard. It reflects right on your windshield). Analog / digital speedometer choices are a nice touch. The km/h, mph, and knots choices are great when out on a boat (for those of us not familiar with knots) to do the conversions. Not to mention a compass up top. CONS: Having the digital speed displayed in landscape is nice with a dashboard or windshield mount, but would also like a portrait option for when its used in hand. At $0.99 a no brainer considering all the time and effort that goes into this or any other App. Keep up the good work!
Getting Better all the time  By: Radioflyr - Mar 30, 2009 Version: 2.0 When I first got this App I was disappointed, it loaded slow was wildly inaccurate and the graphics were ok. All I wanted was a simple app that I could hold in the window of a car, train, or airplane and get the gee whiz info. Works pretty good in the car. The speed read out can be a bit erratic with 10mph jumps for no apparent reason. I have tried in on the airplane with very little success. I am not sure wether putting the phone in airplane mode causes the app not to work, but I did get it to work once and only once (not in airplane mode) and got a 425mph read out which when compared to the aircrafts GPS was with in a 1-2 mph of what the aircraft GPS was reading. I like that it has added GPS info (Sig strength etc). It's nice to help see why it's not working, still would like more info on the GPS however. The HUD feature is good, although LARGER Brighter numbers would be better in HUD or Mirror mode. A trip computer would be nice (e.g. Max Speed, Altitude, Average Speed, Odometer etc). The analog dials do nothing for me (just my opinion). But as I stated the app works pretty good and keeps improving. Fine tuning and stability will earn a five star.
Good  By: Llama of a 1000 apps - 07-Jun-2009 Version: 2.2.1 Good for you, buddy!

Great speedometer  By: AmarilloBob - Apr 20, 2009 Version: 2.1 Love the speedometer and compass. I checked my car's speedometer with it - they read the same.
Awsome!!!  By: kurtonic - Apr 10, 2009 Version: 2.1 The best speed app on iphone
Amazing  By: Bonisman - Aug 23, 2008 Version: 0.2 I have this app, it's so good. I was doing 157 on my bike and it said 157!!! I had bad reception too. I don't know what app you guys are using.
Within 1 mile per hour +/- Great Job!  By: D-RAF - Aug 3, 2008 Version: 0.1 See above.
Great  By: macboy14 - Aug 2, 2008 Version: 0.1 Given, I don't really see the point of this application.. Only place you can really use it is in a car, and I don't see what is so bad about looking at the speedometer...
But the purpose of this application is fufilled very well. It does exactly what it says it does, and it does it very well. It is very accurate.
Give credit  By: warGOD730 - Aug 2, 2008 Version: 0.1 Look our phones are made as a telephone the GPS and all the other features are "extra" of course your garmin is getting a better reading it's a GPS unit!! Our phones have GPS but don't look to it as a savior of speed accuracy through our GPS system it's secondary compaired to a real GPS Unit, you people expect the damn world sad
Worth it  By: Phethesk8 - Aug 2, 2008 Version: 0.1 Worth the download, ally of effort was put into it and it delivers good performance
Love the update!  By: Texan70 - Nov 1, 2009 Version: 3.0 For a wish list, I would like the compass to show when using the LED speedometers, whether vertical or horizontal and I would love to see an altimeter worked in somehow. Doesn't have much to do with driving, but I figured as accurate as the speedometer and compass are this app would be the best option for altitude. Thanks again for the update!
Great  By: Rawd - 4-Aug-2008 Version: 0.1 My 79 Firebird speedo only goes to 140 kmh. ;). This worked perfectly.

Aight  By: xg499 - Feb 19, 2009 Version: 1.6 This is a pretty cool app, it takes way to long to load but when it does it's pretty accurate.
Nice  By: Tebow15 - Feb 4, 2009 Version: 1.5 Great digital speedometer, It is only 2 or 3 MPH off. I would give it 5 stars but it is not accurate when accelerating, but it is just a phone. If ur looking for a digital read of how fast you are going, this is what you want. I velcroed the plastic case to my iPhone to my dash and not only can I read how fast I'm going but my passengers can to.
