can I use this as a speed/distance device in my car

I'm sure you could. I bought it to use in my boat and it works very well. I think you would have to hold it near an open window so it would have a connection to the satellite.

Yes, you can if you are in the area covered by GPS. I used it for boat ride and set it to display speed and distance.

Don't know, I sent it back because it only shows Kmph and I wanted mph. Since it is GPS it should work in a car. Readout is not to graphic.

I use it for that in my sailboat. As long as it picks up a clear signal I don't know why you can't.

Depends on th distance from monitor to tow car wheels. May need there device for boosting tow car transmitted.

Yes. My sister's SUV had a broken speedometer. The local service station's wanted $400.00 or more to fix it. This just plugs into the cigarette lighter and sits on your dashboard, where it projects the speed onto the windshield. The only problem I've really had is forgetting to bring it with me sometimes. Now I leave it in a plastic bag with the keys, so I never forget anymore. It is just for speed, but can show speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour, if you wish.

Mike, Honestly I don't know the answer. The device will show the mph and reflash very offen. I did not count how many second about it because my car, I believe every car, should have own speed info. Therefore, I don't care about how much second for interval. I hope I answered your question. Thanks

It does work through WiFi but yes this can be used in your Car. it does not require an external WiFi network as it provides its own.

No. This is a great interval timer, but it does not track distance or average speed.

Would probably help for you to tell us what your purpose is? If it works it will give you the combined speed of you and the oncoming traffic. It may also set off radar detectors.

I guess you could fiddle with the little buttons on the side to do it, not a great idea while you're driving. Much better to get a cheap navigational GPS which has the speed limits in its database, changes it automatically, and will alert you when you are 5 over. All my units do that, even the "GPS for Dummies" sold here for about $40. This unit is only useful if your speedometer breaks because there is no database stored inside. I recommend just getting a cheap GPS unit, setting the speed alarm, and not even messing with the rest of it, put it face down if you want. Would be half the cost of this and you wouldn't crash while adjusting it. I guess you could fiddle with the little buttons on the side to do it, not a great idea while you're driving.

I bought this for that exact reason, and unfortunately it doesn't work. This device is used for like cars with auxiliary ports.

Not sure the range on the Blackvue wifi transmitter would be powerful enough to connect from a distance. Have only ever tried it from within the car.

I have it connected to my brother taxi cap it's for a car . But you can buy an additional connection to use it in the house

Only if your car and phone where connected via bluetooth or usb cable, but that would eliminate the need for this device. A car can't pass those kind of commands / signals through the aux jack alone. This device has those buttons made onto it directly. It's a great product and I highly recommend it.

No, as it doesn't read the speed limit data as a navigational GPS does. You can just get an alarm for a set speed you choose.

Yes, but they have to be in your car with the device, or put the device in the other car.
1173947
you need to place this device inside the car. The magnet is not strong enough to hold it to the body.

The short answer is YES! The magnatometer in the unit will respond to a car at those speeds as long as there is less than 12 feet between the car and the monitor.

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)
