MileCheck
The phone app already tells you your exact mile marker. The problem is looking at it — glancing down at a screen mounted somewhere on your dash, at highway speed, is exactly the thing every driving-safety rule tells you not to do.
So we're building a small display that clips onto an air vent and shows the mile marker you're currently passing, live, off the same GPS data the app already uses. No wiring, no phone mount blocking your view, no unlocking a screen. Glance and go — the same idea behind our CarPlay and Android Auto screens, in a form that works even when your phone is in your pocket or your car doesn't support either.
What it does
- Shows the mile marker you're currently passing, updated live
- Clips to an air vent — no wiring, no phone mount blocking your view
- Runs on the same 50-state milepost data already bundled in the MileCheck app
How it works
The display carries its own GPS, so it tracks your position and works out your mile marker on its own — no phone needed once it's set up, no lag waiting on a Bluetooth link while you're driving. Bluetooth only comes in occasionally, to sync the latest milepost data (new states, corrected mile markers) and firmware from your phone. Day to day, it just runs.
Where this is at
We're hand-building the first working units now — this isn't a shipped product yet, and there's no price set. What exists is a concept and a small early-access list. Signing up costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything; it puts you first in line to see a working prototype and get the launch price before it opens to everyone else.
