14 DAY TRIAL // St. Edward Enterprises has updated its GPS application, DashCam, which combines the rear-facing camera of the iPhone, Google Maps, and GPS to allow the user to record driving and see the speed, average speed, and distance they’re traveling. The developer is now selling DashCam at a 'fraction' of its orriginal price.
A combination of Google Maps and iPhone AGPS, DashCam tracks each point traveled on the map and shows it in the red highlighted line overlaid on top of the Google Maps display.
The driver’s starting location is shown as a green pin. The ending location is marked red, while the current location is represented by a blue dot.
As the app displays speed, average speed, distance, and time, the video recording resolution can be adjusted in the Settings page via three modes - high, medium, and low.
Those who are wielding an iPhone 4 with a Retina display can record the video at 720p resolution (high).
Recording can be done in landscape or portrait view, and the user can share the video via YouTube, Facebook, Email, and AirPlay enabled devices. Alternately, the footage can be saved for later viewing on the device.
A complete list of changes delivered in DashCam 2.0 can be found below:
What's New in Version 2.0
· Added AirPlay feature. · Added distance tracking. · Added screen recording which will allow the playback and sharing of the whole screen. · Users can now listen to iPod while using the application. *Users can now record videos without audio. · User can now use all portrait and landscape modes to record the video. · Users can now use iMovie for iPhone to edit video recorded with DashCam and exported to Photo Album. · Improved Facebook and YouTube sharing. · Fixed bugs from the previous version.
St. Edward Enterprises urges existing users to perform a backup of their videos before updating to the new version.
DashCam currently goes for three bucks in the iOS App Store in the Utilities section, in what St. Edward Enterprises regards as a fraction of its regular price.
It’s compatible with iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and requires iOS 4.0 or later.
