I have the analog version of this. She usually sits in the passenger seat. Very effective but no volume control.

Looking forward to your update.
However, it seems to me that keeping one's eyes on the road and brain
focused on the job of driving would work as well. What am I missing.

Summary: The lite version is possibly worth the price at "Free".
I put it in my passcar. The body is a typical type. By the time you get it high enough to see the road properly, it is so close to you that it is hard to change focus. If you need reading glasses, forget it.
As to the actual program. It is kind of neat, but the good ends there.
- It never gave me any information that I did not already have.
- The speedometer is very slow to respond. (When I did a 0-60 pull, I was at 60 before it read 40.)
- If the weather isn't good, like a light mist, it doesn't seem to be able to figure anything out. I was often able to get perilously close to another vehicle before it told me I should back down.
- It does not seem to understand curving roads.
- While it has a speed warning, that value is impractical to reset underway. The speedometer lag also diminishes its possible value by a great extent.

Matt,
Thanks for the initial review.
The "smarts" that this app relies on is great. It isn't realistic,
however. I can also see how a mist can fool it. At night it could be a
hoot based on the configuration of the tail lights on the vehicle you are
behind. Some LEDs are much brighter than some old bulbs, etc. Of course,
some truckers like to decorate their trailers like Christmas trees as far
as number of lights (he who has the most lights wins). My primary concern
with be the latency of the GPS receiver. It is designed more for something
like a rapid transit system where the driver falls asleep at the helm and
rams into the rear of another train.
