Hey guys, so I've been enjoying the HECK out of using my tablet for GPS and dash-cam duties. I was using SpeedHUD because its got a clean simple interface, and a nice accelerometer display. But it's a bit slow to update the speed when you first get going, usually I'm leveling off by the time it stops saying 0, but that accelerometer sure jumps up. So I got this other app that is supposed to be sensitive enough to use for seeing how fast a person is going walking/jogging/running. It's called Ulysses Dashboard I think, I'll look and edit later. Anyway this one is sweet it updates very quickly and has a bunch more cool stuff going on other than just speed and acceleration. Like apparently my 0-60 time is 8.2 seconds when I was getting on the freeway the other day. I didn't even tell it to track it, just did it on its own, so now I kinda want to actually TRY lol. Also using a cool dashcam app, they just updated it and added a feature on their site for uploading the video so that it shows your speedo info and the gps map of the route you drove. I think on Saturday when I drive my wife to work I might record my sunrise drive across the Portland West Hills and upload the video if anyone is interested. If anyone is familiar with Skyline road in Portland, its a fun little run twisting across the top of the hills. Anyway just thought I'd share and maybe see what other people are using in case someone has something better.
Take a look at an app called Torque. It is very configurable. Tons of skins and a driving cam option as well. http://torque-bhp.com/
Been using aDyno for a couple years. It does a lot and can be used as a radar gun at drag strip. Using gps qnd accelerometer it starts recording when you hit the gas and shows 60 ft times.1/8.1/4. and trap speed. sometimes works well but sometimes it seems too sensitive and acts buggy.
