    I would be carefully. This is a data mining app. Insane number of permissions required. Look at how many other GPS they have released. All with fake reviews.

    Velociraptor is a much better open alternative. Developer is quiet active on Reddit

          Actually, it's very different, which is why it's been flagged.

          @Mic Cullen: Actually, he's right… The permissions are not much different to all the other apps I don't install. ;-)

          Remember if you get the product for free. Then you are the product.

      • tee123 on 13/04/2017 - 10:09

        Its scary to think how many people download these apps without knowing that their private files can be accessed. Its a no from me dawg.

      This is what I love about Ozbargainers, we are a frugal bunch, but also security savvy and curious.
      Thanks for the heads up. That's just way too many permissions for any app!

      All free android apps do data mining ….It's how they make their money.

        veloriraptor takes a lot less permissions. worth comparing.

    • wakkawalla on 12/04/2017 - 09:03

      Thanks! Velociraptor supports Android Auto too. Going to try it over the long weekend

    • squeeb on 12/04/2017 - 09:42

      Thanks for the heads up.

      On top of all those suspicious permissions… bunch of 5 star reviews with no comments in first 2 days (probably fake), and offers nothing more than what other free apps do.
      No thanks

      I skipped installing it when I saw the required permissions. Glad I'm not the only one to think that they want too much access

    • GregMonarch on 12/04/2017 - 20:16

      After you install Velociraptor and press "Android Auto Integration"… it says: "To use Auto integration, download Velociraptor AA from APKMirror." I looked on reddit but couldn't find any mention of what to do then. What do you do/where do you put the APK file after downloading it?

      NVM: You just click the file. For some reason it wouldn't work the first 27 times I pressed it.

    I've always used digi HUD. You can minimise it to a small floating window and view it while in Google maps or others. I have the free version.

    Everything this app does is already provided by others like Google maps or Waze for free. Why should someone pay for it?

    • expertreader on 12/04/2017 - 15:01

      Some how my google maps doesn't show speed. Is there a way to enable it?

      • ckria on 12/04/2017 - 18:27

        I don't think it is there by default but as far I know, you have to have Speedometer alongside Google Maps but Waze shows it by default.

    Another great GPS/overlay/track recording app to check out is Ulysse Speedometer

    According to Waze my speedo is off by 5. No wonder people sit so close to my rear :P

  • orza on 13/04/2017 - 17:16

    I use Torque, can upload same data plus engine data to web. (needs OBD2 adaptor for engine data -rpm, etc.). App costs $5. Not sure if it does maps though.

  • Brainwhacker on 17/04/2017 - 15:41

    Still valid
