Everything a driver needs. Nothing extra to install.

All worked out from GPS and map data. Plug in an OBD-II dongle if you want readings straight from the car.

Speed limits — blank beats wrong

Uses the map's real maxspeed when there is one. When nothing is certain the sign stays blank and no warning sounds; turn on “Estimate” to infer it from road class and Circular 31/2019, always marked ~ estimated.

Maps without 4G

Download 145 MB once for the whole country. Until then MapLibre caches up to 512 MB of roads you've driven.

Community map

One tap to report. Signs appear once 3+ devices agree; incidents expire on their own.

Dashcam

Records, reads signs and measures the gap to the car ahead. Processed on the device, never uploaded.

“Mika, take me home”

Mika assistant

Press the voice key on the steering wheel or the mic button, then speak to find a route or open settings.

OBD-II readings

ELM327 over Bluetooth or WiFi. Spoken alerts for overheating or a Check Engine light. 30-day trial.

Alerts that don't nag

30/20/12-second pauses between reminders, instant when you speed up further. Never two voices at once.

Plug in your phone, MapCar takes the big screen.

If your car has CarPlay or Android Auto, no new head unit needed. MapCar on iPhone and Android shows up right on the car display — map, speed-limit sign and turn-by-turn directions.

Community

Built from reports by drivers all over Vietnam.

MapCar takes reports from drivers in all 34 provinces and cities: speed signs, enforcement cameras, jams, crashes, flooding… A sign shows only once three different devices confirm it; incidents expire on their own after 30–60 minutes.
