RetroSpeedGPS

A little help for the road.

Questions, feedback or something that doesn't look right? We'd like to hear about it.

support@retrospeedgps.com · Existing beta testers can also send feedback through TestFlight.

Please include your iPhone model, iOS version, app version and a short description of what happened. If you send a screenshot, check it for private details first. You don't need to send a route or location history to ask for help.

How do I get the app?

RetroSpeedGPS is currently being tested. If you already have a TestFlight invitation, open Apple's TestFlight app to install an available build or update. Public release details will appear here when they're ready.

Why does the app need location permission?

It uses your iPhone's location to calculate speed and trip distance, show your position on the optional map and record a route when Log Drives is enabled. In iPhone Settings, check that RetroSpeedGPS has location access and that Precise Location is enabled. GPS readings depend on reception; buildings, tunnels and poor signal can affect them.

Does the rally tripmaster give directions?

It measures distance for you to compare with your route book. It does not provide turn-by-turn directions. The main trip and rally counters start together, while rally resets, pause, reverse and distance corrections remain independent.

How do I save a trip and start another?

Tap the trip icon between the finish flag and settings cog to reveal the trip controls. Choose Stop & Save to finish the current trip, or New Trip to save it and begin again. Saved trips appear in Settings → Drive Log.

Can I show just the speedometer?

Choose Speedometer Only in Settings for a clean dial view. The navigation and settings icons remain available. You can also choose whether to display the two rally counters together.

Does the app record in the background?

When Log Drives is enabled, the app enables background location updates so route recording can continue, with the iOS location indicator visible. Turn this setting off to disable background location updates. Location access while the app is open still supports the speedometer and trip counters.

How do I delete saved drives?

If a trip is active, use Stop & Save first and check that saving succeeds. Turn Log Drives off. Open Settings → Drive Log, then swipe a saved drive to delete it or choose Delete All. This deletes saved drives in the app; it does not delete exported files or copies in backups.

Can I share a recorded route?

Drives with recorded route points have a GPX export option. A trip saved without route logging contains a summary rather than an exportable route. GPX files include locations and timestamps, so check who you are sharing with.
