Good

Looks good, sadly does not support USB OBD2. Why is this a big deal? Well, Android head units typically do not support Bluetooth OBD outside of the Torque app. Which means even though I have a bluetooth OBD, Harry's won't detect it. I have a USB OBD2 I could use, but again, Harry's doesn't support that either. I recommend the developer actually buy one of the android head units available from companies such as "Joying" or "Pumpkin" and work on making the Harry's products compatible. Until then, I won't spend anymore money as they will not function on an Android head unit. No, I don't want a tablet bouncing around on the end of a suction cup either. I want an app. On my head unit. In my dash. So far the only app that works reliably this way is Torque Pro.

About this app

Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy is a versatile trip computer and GPS / OBD data monitor. The trip computer records distance and time traveled, and calculates average speeds. Using the navigation module from Harry's GPS Suite, GPS/OBD Buddy will furthermore forecast arrival times using waypoints.

In addition to standard iPhone GPS functionality, GPS/OBD Buddy supports a huge set of external GPS and OBD sensors. Accessing these sensors directly, GPS/OBD Buddy gives you a detailed view not available in any other app.

Like all applications from Harry's GPS Suite, Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy uses our advanced GPS Engine. We offer Harry's GPS Buddy as a technology demo for Harry's GPS Suite for free. In case you want to do more with the data shown, check out one of the Harry's LapTimer editions.
