Route tracking and video recording

DashCam is based on a combination of Google Maps and iPhone AGPS.  Route tracking tracks each point traveled on the map and displays it in the red highlighted line overlaid on top of the Google Maps.  Starting location is shown as a green pin and ending location is shown as a red pin.  Current location is shown via the blue dot.  Speed, average speed, distance, and time of the recording is also being tracked and displayed.  Video recording resolution can be adjusted in the Settings page via three modes, high, medium, and low.  iPhone 4 allows the user to record the video at 720p resolution in High setting.  Video recording can be recorded in all landscape and portrait modes.  Screen recording feature allows the recording, playback and sharing of the whole screen.

Playback

While playing back the video on the iPhone, the user can see where the video was recorded on the displayed Google Maps via the blue dot which tracks the user's location at the given time along the highlighted route.  Starting point and end point of the route is displayed via a green pin and red pin respectively.  Speed, average speed, and distance is also displayed and reflects the speed, average speed, and distance at that time and location of the video recording.  User can fast forward or rewind the video to a specific time or place on the map. Newly incorporated AirPlay feature allows the video to be shared via the AirPlay enabled devices.
