Atoll CoPilot Capitan is a digital dashboard featured by unique combined speed, location and altitude 3D log graph. It also visualizes your current speed and heading, keeps an eye on speed limits and driving style, and reminds you to take some a rest if you’re driving for too long.
Detailed features list include:
- Location/Speed/Altitude 3D trip graph
Unique way to represent the speed, location and altitude data in a single 3D graph. Color coded speed and altitude chart is constantly adjusted according to your moving trajectory. At your current location point there is a digital compass, showing moving course related to the true (not magnetic) North.
You can adjust the view angle by moving your finger vertically, horizontal move changes the time scale. Tapping the “CLR” icon clears the track data, “FIT” sets the default view angle and fits the whole track on screen. in Preferences, you can adjust the transparency of all the components of the chart or switch them off completely.
- Speed display
The speed display of Atoll.CoPilot Capitan is “live” – it changes the font size and color depending on your acceleration, making the reading more expressive. Also, it has two modes of showing the average trip speed (tap to display it in full size): average speed during last 5 minutes (“-avg”) or average speed since program startup (“+avg”).
- HUD (Head-Up Display) mode
Tapping the “HUD” icon mirrors all the text and removes small display details, so if you position the iPhone horizontally under your car’s windscreen you can see perfectly readable half-transparent reflection of the picture displayed. We love this mode! We found it much more convenient compared to traditional car dashboards (especially on the roads of Western Europe, which are full of speed cameras and where you need to watch your speedometer all the time). And last but not the least – it just looks cool.
Note: this mode works pretty well at night time and twilight, but on direct sunlight the screen brightness can be insufficient.
-Driving style advisor
Every 5 minutes Atoll.CoPilot Capitan checks the collected speed data and if you accelerating or braking too hard and too often reminds you about the safety. Sometimes, when you’re hurrying to the airport overtaking other cars, it’s good to have something that reminds you that missed plane isn’t worth your life!
The “lightning” icon on the left below the “speed limit” is a meter that indicates how “smooth” your driving is. When you driving on motorway keeping the constant speed the icon is green, but if you change the speed often it turns red, indicating that the situation is getting potentially dangerous. Gray color tells the advisor indicator is off or there is not enough speed data collected.Also this feature can be used as a fuel economy indicator – smooth driving results in lower fuel consumption. Of course, sensitivity of the Advisor can be adjusted in Preferences, or it can be completely switched off.
