DashMap is the iPhone dash cam built for Apple CarPlay. Navigate on your car display while your mounted iPhone records in up to 4K—and keeps every drive video on-device.
One App. Zero Clutter.
The CarPlay Advantage
Experience the Dual-Screen Setup: Mount your iPhone high for a clear 4K view of the road while your car’s built-in display handles the navigation.
Seamless Sync: Search destinations and start recording directly from your dashboard.
Eyes on the Road: Get turn-by-turn directions on CarPlay while your phone acts as your dedicated safety lens.
Built for Explorers & Bikers
Don't just follow the highway—follow your path.
Route Import: Seamlessly import GPX and TCX files from your favorite planning tools.
Custom Navigation: Follow specific backroads or trails while recording every mile of the journey.
Pro Telemetry: High-speed GPS, heading, and live speed data are overlaid directly on your video.
Privacy & Performance First
We believe your data belongs to you.
On-Device Storage: Every drive video stays on your iPhone. No cloud video storage or Wi-Fi transfer is required.
Instant Access: No fishing for Wi-Fi or clunky companion apps. Tap, watch, and share instantly.
Configurable Storage: Choose a 5, 10, 20, 40, or 60 GB video limit. When the limit is reached, DashMap removes the oldest footage first while leaving the active recording untouched.
Key Features:
Simultaneous 4K Recording & Navigation: Record while you drive without losing your way.
CarPlay Support: Access essential navigation and recording actions from CarPlay while your mounted iPhone records the road.
Advanced Route Preview: Check for toll roads and traffic before you shift into gear.
Professional Overlays: Live GPS, speed, and time data embedded in your footage for insurance or sharing.
Dual Camera Support: Switch to the front-facing camera for cabin security.
Adaptive Thermal Protection: If your iPhone gets warm, DashMap automatically lowers the recording frame rate and restores your selected rate after the device cools down.
Pro Tips for Drivers:
Mount it High: Use a magsafe windshield mount behind your rearview mirror for the best 4K perspective.
Stay Powered: Keep your phone plugged in for long-distance trips or touring.
Magnetic Mounts: Use a MagSafe-compatible mount for the fastest "mount and go" experience.

The developer seems to be actively working to implement better pedestrian and cycle routes, which is the only thing I would love to see in this app. Currently there is no combination navigation and dash cam app for iPhone users, and I would love to have one.
Developer Response
Thank you for your comments Kacey, the next update will include pedestrian and bicycle routing.
What's New
Improved trip recording reliability when DashMap runs in the background, including during CarPlay navigation.
Because your trip recording shouldn't get stuck just because traffic does.
General bug fixes and improvements.
