OttoMobile Pro
Ottomobile™ Pro is an application for GPS-enabled iPhones that is designed to be used while driving. The app is intended to be used as a driving aid, and has been designed to promote safe driving by complementing existing roadway signs, and provides a means to record trip logs for both personal and business use. The new version of the app features:
• An intuitive user interface that consolidates a dashboard with trip details, alert information and an ability to view the surround road network on a map.
• Alert notifications as you drive for speeding, school zone and playground areas, crosswalks, hazardous intersections, wildlife crossings and red-light camera controlled intersection locations (where map coverage is available).
• Trip logging with real-time trip information, post trip statistics including trip mileage, and trip trace routes on a map, a speed profile, and an elevation profile presented as graphs for the trip duration.
• OttoHeartbeat real-time location tracking that sends a location to a secure website, where your family and friends can keep track of your whereabouts (10 trip positions maintained) if you send them the website URL.
The benefits include:
• Increased driver awareness, providing greater focus and relaxation.
• Assistance for inexperienced and novice drivers, improving their driving habits.
• Assistance for drivers in unfamiliar cities.
• Trip tracking and mileage expense reporting.
• Potential savings from speeding violations and red light camera infractions.
Ottomobile will assist you in driving safer and smarter by reminding you when you exceed the speed limit and by alerting you to potentially hazardous areas. If you are not in an Ottomap coverage area that contains the road network information, you can still use the app for navigating the roads, collecting trip statistics for mileage, duration and idling, and send your location to your family and friends if you allow them to keep track of where you are.
Attach your smartphone with an appropriate mount near your dashboard, launch the Ottomobile application, and experience a new sense of driving confidence.
With your Ottomobile app operational, you can continue to use your phone safely by taking calls via Bluetooth or by speakerphone or you can continue playing music from your iPhone, knowing that your driving companion is there to assist you!
