3pMaster Pro: Tripmaster
Universal iPad & iPhone GPS
$22.99
The universal tripmaster: full iPad layout, on-screen speeds, and precision timers. Now in 6 languages with a redesigned dashboard and iCloud track sync.
The universal GPS tripmaster for off-road, overland and rally — the full 3pMaster experience on iPhone and, at its best, on iPad. More on screen, on-screen speeds, and precision timers for the demanding navigator. Trusted by off-roaders, overlanders and ralliers since 2013.
3pMaster Pro is one app for every device. On iPad, the larger screen shows more at once — speeds, timing, and distance side by side — so your co-driver reads everything without swiping. Follow your paper or printed roadbook while the app handles the numbers.
WHY PRO
• Universal app — one purchase, runs on both iPhone and iPad
• iPad layout shows more data at a glance: actual speed, average speed, and travel time
• Precision timers on iPad — choose seconds, tenths, hundredths, or thousandths
• Use it in portrait or landscape on iPad, not just one way
• Show only what you need — show or hide the inclinometer and extra readouts to keep the screen clean
• Everything in the standard 3pMaster, on the device you bring to the start line
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Fully localized in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Dutch — built with real rally terminology, not machine translation.

• Two-finger swipe and double-tap options to prevent accidental changes
• Reorganized Settings — choose your announcement voice and coordinate format
• In-app tutorial to get you started
Need a feature, or hit a problem? We read every message — reach us at support@3pmaster.com or from within the app.
Note: 3pMaster Pro needs a device with GPS. On a Wi-Fi-only iPad it requires an external GPS receiver. A data connection is only needed for maps. Continued GPS use in the background can decrease battery life.
For regularity (TSD/CAST) rallying, roadbook navigation and open-road timing, see 3pRally.

Our biggest update yet: a redesigned look, your own language, and tools that make every trip smoother.

• iPad in portrait. Use 3pMaster upright, not just landscape.
• iCloud sync for saved tracks. Record on one device and find your tracks on all of them, automatically.

• Quick restart. Start the next section with a single tap, with an option to skip the confirmation for quicker changes.
• Energy saving, now on 3pMaster. Make your battery last longer on long trips.
• A refreshed inclinometer. Clearer roll and pitch gauges, and you can set your own photo behind them — now with transparency and no border.
