PebbSpeed is a totally awesome and convenient piece of technology. On top of that, with iOS 8 you can now run Pebble iOS companion apps in the background with no problems at all! What this means for you is that you can put your phone in your pocket when on the go and not have to worry about the speed limit. This handly little app handles the worry for you and buzzes your wrist when you go over the speed limit (set by you in the settings).
Do you have a problem speeding in school zones? How about while in a rush driving somewhere for work? This app is also excellent for mechanics and people that own vehicles with broken speedometers. Give it a shot guys you wont be disappointed!
If you simply like our design and icon, you are welcome to use the analog speedometer in the iOS app.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Firstly, press "INSTALL WATCHFACE" on the main screen. This will take you to the Pebble Appstore so that you may download the Pebble app.
2) Secondly, press "CONNECT TO PEBBLE" on the main screen. This will connect you to the Pebble app.
3) If you wish to use the Speed Limit Alert system, press "SETTINGS" on the main screen. This will take you to the settings screen. Here you can change units from km to miles or vice versa. You can also turn the speed limit function on by pressing "Speed Limit Alert."
Set your preferred speed for the speed limit alert vibration function in the "SET SPEED LIMIT" button (be sure you selected km or miles before inputting this value).
4) After you have conducted 1-3 you are good to drive to your destination care free! After you start driving to your destination, you will find it very difficult to speed with this speed limit alert system!
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
You must have a working GPS signal, open sky, for PebbSpeed to work properly.
Built-in battery saving techniques:
- This app must use GPS to track speeds. The phone GPS will not shut off unless you press “Disconnect from Pebble”
- Another way to save on the battery is to not press “PREVENT IPHONE FROM SLEEPING."
If the light is red on this button then the “PREVENT IPHONE FROM SLEEPING” function is not turned on.
If this function is turned on it will drain more battery power.
